Best Wineries in Culver City

This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants. My mouth waters just thinking about what I would order even before getting there. The food and service are amazing. Can’t wait to go back.

Chef/owner Nicola is one of the top Italian chefs in LA. He is at the center of Osteria Vera, in their open kitchen, preparing and overseeing the preparation of everything. His food is delicious. We had the Hamachi crudo, topped with lemon and shaved bottarga, the Lechuga salad, another pasta dish with spaghetti and more bottarga (our favorite) and the roast duck. I love duck and this was prepared perfectly; meaty and tender pieces with crisp skin. The service was excellent; friendly, attentive, well paced.

Our friends came into LAX for an overnight stay. We chose Vicini as our restaurant to have dinner with them. It was incredible! Everything from the food we had to our wines and the Ability to have a nice conversation in the somewhat quiet restaurant was superb. The steak that I had was incredible and perfectly done. The others’ pasta dishes were delicious! It is certainly worth a visit if you are in the area and would like authentic Italian food. The ambience was perfect as well. The only drawback is there is limited parking only on the side streets with a meter or after seven in front of the restaurant on the street. 

Wonderful atmosphere! Most seating is outside, so dress with awareness. The restaurant has a European feel with classic dish ware, modern music, and unique nooks of seating. They are doing all the small things to make for a special experience. Creative French cuisine. Great romantic date night ambiance.

Food-Delicious Service-Impeccable Ambience-Sexy/ Sheik There is obviously an endless amount of restaurants to go to in Los Angeles but this is a one of a kind experience in a city of amazing options. Bravo ADKT!!!!
