Best Mediterranean Restaurants in South Los Angeles

Very great experience dining here! I usually come here when it’s super packed but luckily the day I went (and the time) it was not packed at all. With it being less busy, the ambiance was nice and quiet. I was able to hear my conversations. The food was amazing!! The Sweet Corn Agnolotti was very good but lacked a sufficient amount for how much the dish is. The Spicy Pomodoro was amazing!! One of my favorites here and for the amount of pasta it has, it is worth your money. I was not expecting to like the Banana Tiramisu but I enjoyed it so much! I wish I got two but I ended up getting so full haha. Overall 9/10 experience!

Our waiter was amazing and the food was spectacular. Definitely get the crispy duck and Nancy’s Caesar Salad.

It is always a wonderful experience overall. We ordered the truffle fettuccine this time, but unfortunately, the truffle didn't have as much flavor as we expected. This is not much of their fault, but maybe they could have used a little more truffle to compensate for the lack of flavor; the price wasn't an issue. The waiter was a little absent, but we usually have outstanding service. This is still my favorite place to dine, but this time the food wasn't 100%.

Delicious food and absolutely lovely service. The red snapper schnitzel is absolutely scrumptious. I’ll continue going back.

I have been really sick for years and haven’t been out in almost two years. So finding a restaurant to celebrate Christmas Eve for the first time in a while was pretty important to me. Once I saw the pictures of Arden on OpenTable I knew I just had to go there. Obviously, the food and service had to considered to. After a deep dive of photos, reviews, and reading their Christmas Eve pri fix meal options, it was settled. We were going to Arden! Making a reservation and special seating requests was so easy. They also are one of the few newer restaurants that actually answer their phone. I was running a few minutes late and they were really accommodating. The valet was cheaper than taking a ride share service and the gentleman was so polite. Walking up to the entrance was gorgeous. It just kept getting more and more beautiful as we ascended the steps and made it to the restaurant floor. Luckily, they also are very wheelchair/handicapable! I normally am in a wheelchair and would have easily just ramped up to their wheelchair elevator and been let out on the main floor. Once we made it up to the floor we were immediately greeted by a very kind employee who assisted in helping us find the perfect table for my needs. Water and my requested coke almost immediately showed up at the table! Our waitress, Mika, just made out night. She was extremely informed about every dish listed in each category on the menu. Food arrived promptly, hot, and with a smile. I needed a slight change to the dish I really wanted. And even though there were no substitutions, she came up with a great idea and made it happen for me so I could enjoy my meal. Mika had a fabulous disposition, was funny and kind, and was available/checked in the perfect intervals. Plenty of service without being smothered. We never felt rushed, even though they were busy. She kept my water and coke filled without asking, helped us adjust the heat when needed while keeping other customers comfortable, and was jus
