Hands down the best pizza I've had in LA. Everything is so fresh and well made. We came for my friends birthday lunch. She did some wine tasting and said the wine was great. So was the cheese. We shared the Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheese board and the warm focaccia. Then we shared the margarita and pistachio pesto pizzas. OMG. These were standout. The tomato sauce in the margarita was particularly great - super fresh, garlicky, and not too sweet. We were too full for dessert, but I would love to go back for the tiramisu.

I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday who happens to like wine.Food: 5/5We order the kale salad, roasted potatoes, sausage and mushrooms over bread (there's a fancier Italian name but I don't recall it), salame pizza, and a wine flight. My favorite was the roasted potatoes with a truffle aioli. The potatoes were tender and paired so nicely with their truffle aioli. I would dip that aioli with anything if I could. The pizza was also delicious, the honey on top beautifully balanced out the flavors. The kale salad was mid, it was basically a Cesar salad with extra kale. My favorite wine was the dessert moscato. Service: 5/5Our server was very knowledgeable about the wines. She suggested specific wines and instructed us what order to drink them in as to not over the taste of each. The food came out relatively quickly. I did get reversions here, but it was not too busy on a Tuesday night. They also have two free hours of parking with validation (parking is super hard to find in Arts District LA).Ambiance: 5/5This place is romantic and dimly lit. The wines on the walls were decorative and perfect for the wine bar theme. They have cute outside seating as well. I would definitely come back here for the tapas and wines. They also have happy hour that I'm excited to check out!

Propaganda Wine Bar, located in the Arts District, is a lovely spot for a relaxed evening. We visited on a Saturday night after dinner to sample some of their wines. The place is beautifully decorated in a Mediterranean style, featuring a stunning wall color scheme and intricately decorated tiles in the cozy bar area. The atmosphere feels intimate yet vibrant, and the service was quick and attentive. They offer both patio and indoor seating options.We chose to sit indoors and sampled their "natural" wine, specifically the Ercole Barbera del Monferrato, along with a low-proof Negroni (featuring Prosecco instead of gin). Both drinks were delicious--flavorful and refreshing. We also ordered the rosemary roasted almonds, which were dark, salty, and a perfect pairing with our drinks.Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we look forward to coming back to try their food next time. Highly recommended for a cozy night out with great drinks.

I'm a huge fan of wine and charcuterie so I decided to try this swanky restaurant in the Arts District.Since I was there for Happy Hour I went for their daily tasting flight and it was delicious! My favorite was the red wine they offered. In terms of food, I ordered a pizza and their charcuterie board. Everything I had was absolutely delicious! I ended my meal with a rich cup of tiramisu.All in all, everything was perfect! The ambiance, service, and food was outstanding. I will definitely be coming back!

We visited on Christmas Eve and sat outside, where the waiter kindly turned on the heater for us. We came during happy hour and got 30% off a bottle of wine (I think it was 30%). The prices were reasonable, the food was amazing, and the service was excellent. Even though we were sitting outside, they frequently checked on us. The atmosphere was cute both inside and outside--perfect for a charming date night or a casual evening out for drinks.

The service was great and the food was wonderful. A good experience and because the street isn't too busy, the outdoor seating feels much more comfortable than you would think for down town LA.

Delicious little wine bar. We were looking for a place to eat, and everything near us was closing soon. I was searching on Yelp & found this spot. So, we jumped on the freeway and headed on over after making a reservation.Everything was SO good. The cheese & meat option we chose was great. The little tuna snack was flavorful, and the potatoes were amazing! The pizza was also really good. I had one glass of wine and it was refreshing as well.Great little place with the perfect chill vibe. Can't wait to come back!

Darling little place to grab a bite and a glass of wine. Claudio the owner will greet you warmly, and you will be at ease!The Happy Hour was really great- lots of fun "Italian tapas" to choose from. We also downed our share of Aperol Spritzes. Perfect for a summer evening!Propaganda offers pizzas and salads basically for main courses. The pizza was divine- Roman style, quality toppings. Did not try salads- this was a very carby evening- but they all sound delectable.We tried both desserts offered and LOVED the fried sweet dough AND the Tiramisu. I found it to be perfectly balanced, and not too sweet.I am looking forward to returning when I am in the Arts District again.

The vibes of this wine bar were fantastic - upscale and charming with jazz music playing in the background. We ordered a couple alcohol drinks (orange natural wines) and the non-alcoholic house spritz.Unfortunately, we were shocked by the service when we said we ordered the house spritz and not the propaganda spritz (which is clearly written on the menu). They accidentally gave us the alcoholic spritz instead of the non-alcoholic one, and when we noted the error, we weren't given an apology. We acknowledge that they eventually comped two out of our three drinks but were surprised by the push back of how we should've specified non-alcoholic when saying house spritz when that's what it had literally said on their non-alcoholic section of the menu (the alcoholic version name is Propaganda Spritz and *not* House Spritz). The feedback I'd give is that 1) if it's unclear, the menu names should be changed and 2) owning up to these kinds of errors as well. Our friend ended up throwing up the entire night due to her allergies.
