Italy's Little Kitchen

Good+ and well prepared authentic like Italian food with good service. 5-6 parking spots in the back.

Excellent service, great food, I've been eating at this quaint spot for many years & I am OVERjoyed each time I return. I had Pollo E Funghi delish & my partner had Chicken Marsala both delicious & tiramisu for dessert, a glass of pinot noir Coastal! Left happy & full! Excellent service and there was no wait! Sunday sunset dinner!🙌🏽

Food was amazing! The bread was nice, freshly baked. Soooo good. We ordered another one. 🥰 spaghettini with meatballs was delicious. Frutti de mare yum! Both of them have a big serving. You can share it. The minestrone soup was delightful. You should try it. 😍😍😍

Best Italian food in the area. Had a great experience at this Italian restaurant! The Frutti di Mare was delicious, especially thanks to the flavorful, well-balanced sauce that really brought out the freshness of the seafood. I also have to mention the chimichurri sauce —fresh, herby, and packed with flavor, perfect with the meat. The server recommedations were on point and it did not disappoint—definitely worth trying! The music added a nice touch to the atmosphere, soft Italian classics that made the evening feel warm and relaxed. Service was relatively fast, even with a full house. Would absolutely return!

A great place for a date night. Very nice atmosphere, relaxing music, pleasant service and especially delicious food. I recommend trying their special dishes! My husband was delighted with the steak with mushrooms, incredibly tasty. My classic carbonara was also delicious. I was selected the perfect wine for this evening. And tiramisu for dessert. We will definitely be back!

Really good food and excellent service in a bare bones environment. Surprisingly good. Music is nice, too. The chefs nail cooking shrimp to succulent perfection. The warm yeast bread dropped on the table as you arrive is a problem ... it's delicious. Dining in is fine as they keep the air flowing, I'd just make sure they are not crowded.

Food was on point, staff was very friendly knew what dishes to recommend and was on top of the service throughout the whole lunch. The restaurant was clean and the Chef did a fantastic job. Would definitely come back for lunch or dinner.

The food is delicious, the wine section was good. The entire staff including cooks were very nice. Celebrated our 3rd anniversary dinner here.

Two dollar sign restaurant eats like a four dollar sign. Excellent Italian far. The bread starter was simple, tasty, fluffy, and just the right level of crusty. The lasagna Bolognese, always a benchmark for me for Italian food, was perfect. It was large enough to share, but I finished it solo, anyway. I couldn't have asked for better. The eight dollar Chianti was actually slightly better than the ten dollar Chianti in my opinion. The tiramisu was a wonderful finale.

I ordered shrimp fettuccine to go. It came with bread. I asked for & received cheese and crushed peppers as well as oil and the vinegar (or whatever it's called for the bread) on the side. It was delicious 😋

GREAT Italian food! I keep going back for my favorite dish, the Chicken Marsala -- I order it with extra mushrooms. It comes on a bed of too-good pasta with mushrooms all around. And the fresh-baked herbal bread is killer-good. They always give me olive oil and vinegar in plastic containers for my go orders, and extra napkins... then I go home and dine.

We were looking for a restaurant near LAX with good ratings and in a safe area. We hit a home run with Italy's Little Kitchen! The homemade bread, pizza, pasta and eggplant parmesan were all fantastic! The eggplant parm was a very generous portion. Next time we are flying out of LAX to return home (we live in Florida) we will absolutely dine there again. The staff is friendly and personable. It is not a fancy restaurant but the food is fabulous!

I love this place and live nearby so I get to come often! Yummy pasta, pizza, and bread!

My husband and I had dinner tonight, food is so good and service even better!!! Great place!!!

Literally one of the best Italian meals we've ever had. We will return every time we're in the area and wanting Italian food.

Excellent American Italian resto. All the favorites done with real attention to detail. Marinara sauce is notably excellent: perfect balance of freshness and umami, basil tones blend in, perfection. Great vibe, nice people. First rate

Parking is a little tricky during dinner hours but it’s well worth it. Excellent service and cozy atmosphere. Food came out fast and was very delicious. The pesto chicken was so generous and full of flavor. Looking forward to my next dinner here.

My girlfriend and I had a great experience at Little Italy Kitchen in West L.A. near LAX. The only downside was the parking situation - whatever you do, don't park in the KFC parking lot unless you want your car to be the next meal on their menu! The staff was fantastic, especially my waiter who had to deal with my inability to pronounce a simple dish. He was patient and didn't even roll his eyes when I butchered the name. The Italian dishes that we ordered were well-made. The cream sauce was so good, I wanted to bathe in it. The salad was fresh and the portions were huge. However, be prepared to shout your order because this place gets loud, even when it's only half full. I felt like I was in the court trying to have a conversation. Little Italy Kitchen is the place really decent Italian food which I’ll make an Italian mother proud. Just make sure you brush up on your pronunciation skills before you go!

Great Italian restaurant. The service is good, and the food is outstanding. The start you of with a warm mini loaf of bread with evoo and balsamic for dipping. We had the frutti de mare and the lobster ravioli, and they were amazing. They truly understand the sauce per pasta and bread ratio. Also, all of the servers are very nice. It's our second time here and it will be our new date night place.

Quaint and lovely.. Before I start, it was difficult not to give this place 5 stars. It came very close. I am one that wants to know my server's name when I first meet them, BUT, it was amazing service. That said... A friend and I decided on a late last minute dinner and found this place on Google. Stepped in an hour before closing. Were seated in the smaller more cozy dinning room with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The server didn't give us his name but was pleasant and took our drink order right away. There were 8 guests including ourselves. Drinks came fast and he made me a fresh pot of coffee. The bread was served warm and was soft and fresh, not hard like the end of day. We both ordered the spagottini carbonara. It was delivered within just a few minutes and was hot and fresh. It was made with fresh cheeses and prosciutto. The sauce was rich and creamy. They have the traditional Italian desserts but I ate all of my dinner so was only able to have a little spumoni ice cream. Hit the spot. We had just come from a cruise and we're more impressed with this meal. Food is personal and what I like you may not, but I say give this place a try. Our meal was delicious and it was just before closing which says a lot.

I hate leaving bad reviews, I really do....butttt myself and my coworker just got delivery from here and it was possibly the worst Italian food that I've ever had.. We got the Chicken Parm with meat gravy over spaghetti, and a side meatball. The chicken was very hard and tasteless, the meat gravy was horrible and not seasoned, and the meatball was the same, tasteless. I thought it was just me, but my coworker tried to eat half of it, and said all of the same comments..
