Palmeri

Staff was great, always checking in on us. Had our early family Christmas lunch. Food was amazing. Leaving very satisfied. Will be back.

Best Italian I've had in California, hands down. Nothing comes close.

Absolutely exquisite dishes made with love. They have a great menu with a variety of food selections, great wines and drinks. The staff here is very welcoming and kind. Our bartender Frankie was incredible. The vibes and atmosphere were great. Happy Holidays 🎄💫

A great Italian restaurant in Brentwood! When you come here you feel like you’re going to your friends/family restaurant. The whole team is really nice and friendly. The owner/chef came a few times to chat with us, which was cool! I came here a few times and would always get the bolognese that is actually really really good. And, never tried something else. But, this time I wanted something more light and went with the “Salmone”, which was really tasty! I really liked it. Other people in my party got the ribeye and the ravioli - and nothing was left on the plates. As a starter we did get the burrata - the cheese was really great. And, they also bring like a small appetizer to snack on with tomato sauce and cheese - just eating it with a spoon was delicious! So, I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a chill, quiet Italian restaurant with amazing food!

Food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!! 10/10 I was visiting from out of town and decided to try, and it did not disappoint. Whenever I return to California they will be first on my list to return to for another meal. Plus the service was wonderful! They also made me a margarita upon my request and it was one the best margaritas I’ve ever had.

Amazing service, vibe, and food. After hearing all the great things about Mr. Octavio and his restaurant, I had to check it out for myself. I have to say hands down the best food I have had in Los Angeles. If you don't try you are missing out. will be returning soon for my girls b day!

Great dinner on a busy Saturday. The bread and the side ricotta with tomato sauce was so good. Pasta pepardele was delicious and so was the chocolate hazelnut cake. Good service and all around good experience.

Everything we ordered was great. Their bread is the best, with goat cheese and tomato sauce. Our kid loves the black pasta and the mushroom soup. I enjoyed the fornarina pizza personally. Ggreat taste, good portion Would definatly come again!

Excellent Italian food. Very small place so everyone gets personal attention. Great chef. Quite a few tempting specials. Everyone loved their meals.

Cori Ershowsky

This is a small spot, but very special and food is truly spectacular. Feels like you are back in Italy. The service is wonderful and I was all around just impressed with everything. Will definitely be back! It is pricey, but worth every penny. Cute for a date night or small fancy birthday dinner

Delicious Italian fare in a beautiful neighborhood. Attentive wait staff, romantic atmosphere. A Los Angeles, Brentwood gem!

Nice location in Brentwood , owner put lots of effort to manage this restaurant for 24 years ! We love every dish!

Excellent food with amazing flavors. Great service and the perfect amount of attention by the staff. Beginning with bread and Balsamico, over crab meat filled black Ravioli to the Tiramisu and coffee - everything was as perfect as can be.

Wonderful food! A little bit of a slower scene, but what a lovely place to go to hang for friends for a whole evening. You will not be rushed. The 5 of us ordered the fritto misto, fried squash blossom, burrata, bresaola, and pheasant pasta, and bolognese for appetizers. Most of us ordered lamb as our main. The pheasant pasta and lambs were standouts but everything was terrific including our martinis and wine. This is our new go to - even if you want to catch a game at the bar and have a pasta.

We booked a private room which is in the front of the restaurant, quiet and roomy like a home’s dining room. Food was simple and good. Good drink selection including wine. Parking is valet only and it’s 8 dollars cash only.

The food here is quite good, not spectacular in the sense of having great subtly of flavor, but nonetheless very satisfying. The servers are responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. We sat outside, which was lovely, except when very noisy traffic made its presence felt. I think that situation had to do with some nearby road work, so hopefully the problem was transitory. The next time I am in town, I likely will return.

We've been here a few times, and this last time was very disappointing. I ordered the "Braised Piemontese Beef short ribs." I normally love short ribs and I've had them at many other restaurants. Usually there's a lot of lean beef. Even if there's fat, when the fat is cut off, there's plenty of lean beef. But at Palmeri's, after I cut off the fat and bone, there was only a small amount of meat left. That's ridiculous, especially when it costs as much as it did. The picture attached to this review, shows the bones and fat at the top of the plate, and the very small amount of actual meat on the bottom. In my opinion, this is taking advantage of customers.

If you have respect for yourself and don't want your night to be ruined with their inappropriate comments, avoid this restaurant at all cost. Just avoid it . The rudest, impolite people I've ever seen. Never had this experience at least in America.

I’ve been dining there for some 15 years and live the food. Maybe I have not ordered any specials but watch out!!! It’s a total rip off. Ordered Dover Sole special. Decent fish though not big. No price mentioned. When the bill comes it’s $65 plus tax and tip making this little lunch special $85 out the door. Outrageous. So go there enjoy but never order a “special”. It’s euphemism for getting screwed. It’s how they get you. I’ve had similar experiences in other Italian restaurants but this takes the cake.
