Vespaio

Very rude people

Worst service ever. It was rainy and they made us have the coffee outside.

Friendly, welcoming, and relaxing atmosphere. The waitress was attentive and knowledgeable of their live menu. Their half windows brought a light breeze that brought comfort as we ate our meals. The views are of symmetrical designed buildings and brought calmness as you look out the window. Great for family, friends, or dates. I definitely recommend.

Great food and service even for our large group of 22 people.

Very packed here for a Thursday night! Must be doing something right! Tried their eggplant appetizer and the salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Perfectly crisp on the outside and very moist and tender on the inside. Old-fashioned cocktail was very expensive but delicious! Finished off with tiramusu and headed to the Ahmanson theatre. Great stuff!

I just called the restaurant to resolve an issue I was upset about because I don't like leaving one-star reviews before trying to reach out. The person on the other end of the line HUNG UP on me while I was still talking, and only said coldly "your welcome" when I said my concerns and thanked her for looking into it. No assuring that it wouldn't happen again and NO apology. she needs to be retrained. Imagine treating a customer like that who is trying to go out if their way to try to spare you a bad review. I was professional and polite and explained that when I ate at their restaurant, I tried the Carpaccio and told the server that I didn't want it if it was raw meat. He assured me it was NOT raw meat. Of course when it came I assumed it was cured meat because of what he told me. I ate it and was ill after and now I am worried I have a bug and my Dr. has ordered tests. DO NOT eat the Carpaccio, as she confirmed IT IS RAW MEAT NOT CURED and will likely make you ill, as it did to me. The server lied to me and I can't imagine why, I would of ordered something else. I have noticed the Carpaccio is not on the online menu and is only on the in person menu which is weird and make me think they are trying to hide the fact they serve raw meat. The pizza is good here and I liked the atmosphere, but unfortunately the serving staff are very rude and lie. Good luck working in customer service to the lady I spoke to on the phone.

If you are going to Walt Disney Concert Hall, Dorothy Chandler Pavillion, Zipper Concert Hall, The Museum of Contemporary Art, and The Borad Museum, you should stop by Vespaio. They served delicious Italian cuisine and modern envience. I ordered Beet Salad, Pea Soup, Sea bass, and Garganelli.

We were not able to get to Vespaio until later last evening yet the service was attentive and very helpful. Our dinner was fantastic. We enjoyed the experience of their special which was Pasta alla Ruota. The preparation was fun to watch and delectable to the last morsel. The risotto with the filet mignon au jus melted in our mouths. I loved the beet salad. The vinaigrette dressing was so light and delicious. We tried four desserts, all of which were fantastic. Thank you, Vespaio and staff, for making our son and daughter-in-law's 1st anniversary celebration so memorable!

I randomly came in here on a Saturday, not knowing what to expect. I ended up finding the best dine in experience of my life. The food was amazing, the staff was very friendly and professional. I've never had Italian food this good. The well kept dining area was beautiful. I 100% recommend.

The pappardelle with wild boar pasta was amazing. The focaccia bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. But my new favorite entree is the roasted pork belly with Rosemary potatoes, perfect flavor fusion! And they have my favorite beer to enjoy with the stellar food.
