    I reserved a large table on the garden terrace. We were just outside the main dining room but either no noisy neighbors. The overhead heaters kept us warm on a chilly night. The wait staff was attentive without hovering. It was the perfect spot for a reunion of colleagues who were in town for a big conference at the Bonaventure Hotel. We ordered a variety of antipasti to share and then separately ordered our main courses. Everybody was delighted with their choices.

    This the very best Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. The food is inspired and totally delicious. The restaurant is a Gambero Rosso Three Fork award winner. Equal to 3 Michelin stars without the pretense.

    Beautiful space. Valentine’s Day and some restaurants fall short on special days, but great evening at Drago. Featured regular menu with no over priced “special” menu! Salad and homemade pasta were excellent. Extensive wine list. Very nice experience.
