    So FABULOUS!!! They made such a mistake going so close to our theater time because this is a place to savor and enjoy. I could rave on and on about the wine selection and the food – especially the charcuterie platter – but honestly, the service was so far beyond what you would normally get at this price point that I can’t even begin to say enough. Phenomenal experience and can’t wait to go back.

    Propaganda is a hidden gem that delivers on both ambiance and taste. My recent visit featured some truly memorable dishes that I can’t wait to have again. We started with the rosemary roasted potatoes, perfectly crispy and seasoned with just the right amount of herbs to bring out their flavor. The kale salad was fresh and balanced, with a lovely light dressing that complemented, rather than overpowered, the greens. The highlight, though, was undoubtedly the spicy salame calaveras tartufato pizza. The spicy salame added a nice kick, while the black truffle honey drizzled on top took the flavor to the next level – the sweet, earthy richness was an unexpected delight that perfectly balanced the spiciness. I’d go back for this pizza alone! Overall, Propaganda’s menu offers unique twists on familiar dishes, and every plate we tried was crafted with care. Combined with attentive service and a stylish atmosphere, this spot is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in creative flavors with a touch of sophistication.

    Music was slightly too loud, could barely hear myself. That said they turned it down later. And also the playlist itself was phenomenal.

    I’ve been back several times since my first review, and it’s clear that the experience here is consistent. Each visit, we find something new to enjoy, like the fried squash blossoms filled with fresh mozzarella and served with marinara. To me they are a refreshing take on mozzarella sticks that's pan fried lightly, just the right amount of crisp, and packed with flavor. Claudio and the team treat everyone like a VIP, with warm, unpretentious service and approachable wine suggestions. Propoganda is a particularly well priced venue, especially during happy hour when bottles are 20% off. This place is definitely a favorite of ours in LA, and it will not disappoint you.

    Food was incredible. Highly recommended their tapas (roasted potatoes, warm foccacine, and friend squash bloom). Staff was very nice. Ambiance was dark.

    Delicious little wine bar. We were looking for a place to eat, and everything near us was closing soon. I was searching on Yelp & found this spot. So, we jumped on the freeway and headed on over after making a reservation. Everything was SO good. The cheese & meat option we chose was great. The little tuna snack was flavorful, and the potatoes were amazing! The pizza was also really good. I had one glass of wine and it was refreshing as well. Great little place with the perfect chill vibe. Can't wait to come back!
