La Bruschetta

Wow - you need to check out this restaurant. In an area not short of good options, this stands out. Food, service and ambience is five-star. Johnathan, who’s part of the family who founded the place, was a star.

We showed up a bit late 9:40pm and the restaurant was closing. Jonathan invited us in and asked his staff to make one more meal. We don’t feel rushed and he sampled wines with us. We ended up going with house specials for food the Bronzino and Short rib they were so fresh and flavorful. We then had a Nutella dessert with Nutella from Italy! I highly recommend this establishment it’s family owned and you feel like the family as soon as you walk in the door. I only have pictures of desert because I ate the short rib so quickly because it was so tender! Do yourself the favor of going to eat at La Bruschetta !

Loved the food and the waiters! Everyone was so friendly and the vibes of the restaurant were close to heaven! I would definitely recommend to anyone who has a passion for Italian food and loves being social with people, even if you don’t, they cater for your neeeds perfectly. Would recommend.

Love this authentic Italian restaurant….The waiters were all so friendly and funny, and the seafood white wine sauce linguine is just like the one I had in Naples.

Our first visit to La Bruschetta, this evening was a big hit - we'll be back. A family-run business with a long tradition and long-tenured employees. The service was very friendly and prompt while subtle. I truly enjoyed the Bruschetta, Butternut Squash Soup, the Barramundi main course and a chocolate mousse desert that was to die for all service in a restaurant with good ambience and happy guests and employees. Definitely a place to return to.

Great family owned Italian restaurant with personal customer service. Everything was fresh from the salad to the sauces. Best lasagna & tiramisu! We enjoyed it greatly on our visit. Thank you all for your hospitality.

We had such a nice experience dining here! The service was so friendly and efficient. It was a quieter Wednesday night, so it wasn't very full but anyone there was in a good mood. Every dish was very tasty and well presented. We had all specials! Great wine recommendations as well. Would definitely recommend. A place to return!

We demolished four different plates of pasta. Were completely stuffed to the gills and managed to eat 3 different desserts. Food was amazing. Service was impeccable. Owner was friendly. Perfect night out! My favorites were the Gnocchi in a Four Cheese sauce and the Molten Lava Cake - but absolutely EVERYTHING was delicious! Can't wait to go back!

The dish and wine selection is fantastic, the ambiance is relaxing and inviting, and the service is consistently attentive. Classic like the lasagna bolognese and risotto are fantastic, as well as daily specials made from the freshest ingredients. This place is great for a dinner with family, friends, or co-workers to share a glass and enjoy good food and company.

The chef/owner makes fantastic Italian food. Recommend the seasonal specials and homemade desserts. The service is professional and friendly. Price is surprisingly affordable for this kind of quality experience.

Had a great dinner at La Bruschetta tonight. I think it’s the best lasagne I’ve ever had. Everyone loved their meals. Service was fantastic, advice was insightful. Can’t say enough great things, looking forward to returning.

We love La Bruschetta! This is our first time here and we shall be back. They certainly make a fantastic bruschetta and no one can dispute that. And the best crème brûlée I have ever tasted. Vegetables were very fresh. Lasagne perfect. Many returns.

The food was excellent. I loved my risotto entre and the rest of our party also rated the food as excellent. We selected La Bruschetta so that we would be able to visit with our dinner companions without having to contend with extraneous noise. The restaurant was perfect for that purpose. No TVs, great atmosphere and the wait staff was patient and waited until we were ready to order and eat. Even though we were the last group in the restaurant, they did not try to rush us out the door. I will be back.

This establishment is definitely a hidden gem. I was just visiting Los Angeles for the weekend and was looking for a good meal. The owner is so personable and welcoming. My brother had know idea what to order. Our waitress really took initiative and recommended a menu item she confidently felt he would enjoy. She was right! We were taken care of so well. The atmosphere was 100% inviting and just on point. Super clean. Food is delicious. Definitely will be back next time I visit.

I concur with a lot of the other 5 star reviews. We happened upon this place and celebrated my daughter’s birthday here (who attends UCLA). We weren’t dressed up at all because we were just walking around town, yet the owner warmly greeted us at the door and made us feel so welcome. We arrived right after opening so only a few other tables were occupied but soon the whole place filled up. Our waitress made fantastic recommendations and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. My husband asked if they had chicken Parmesan and the waitress was so funny when she said they don’t make that because they only have real Italian dishes! The way she said it wasn’t rude and it made me laugh. Overall our daughter loved the celebration and I recommend this place!

A terrific restaurant with a warm, cozy vibe. My risotto was a bit underdone, and I wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price. But overall, a great place. Waitstaff was excellent and attentive.

great italian food. Had the striped bass and 4 cheese ravioli and they both tasted great! Not too heavy and well balanced. Their tiramisu and chocolate mousse were delicious as well and hostess was very pleasant and attentive. Thumbs up for her genuine care and attentiveness.

My first time at La Bruschetta last night. The service was absolutely impeccable -- polite, warm, funny staff. This place is clearly family run and has a touch of old-school charm. Excellent food (Get the caesar salad and rigatoni bolognese! To die for!!!) Delicious, top-notch wine. I've been dreaming about that pasta dish! Can't wait to go back.

Nice family own business. Food portion is not huge or small. Just about right per person. Dessert is good too.

Really nice experience, amazing hosts, atmosphere just right out of italy, think sopranos or new york upmarket... lighting great, decor, table setting a lost art of hosting people food wise, very good. the quality of the olive oil excellent, everything a home cooked authentic feel. That being said, could be improved to take this spot to a 5*

Fettuccine Alfredo was great, risotto with chicken sausage wasn’t as the rice was undercooked and bland, Tiramisu was nice. Pasta entrees are $28-33 each now, earlier menus are out of date. Food is mid but atmosphere and service are great.
