This restaurant is such a cute spot with a great vibe. It is perfect for a casual dinner or a relaxed night out with friends. The atmosphere felt cozy yet stylish, and you can tell there’s been care put into the details.
The highlight was definitely the pasta. All the pastas are handmade and had that authentic, fresh texture you just don’t get everywhere. Our group especially enjoyed the spicy ones. They had a great kick and were well-balanced in flavor. The non-spicy options were decent, but a bit more on the plain side by comparison. The pizza was also solid, nicely done with a good crust and fresh toppings.
One thing that stood out (in a slightly odd way) was the service. While the staff was friendly, they seemed eager to clear our plates the moment we finished a dish. It felt a little rushed, like they were trying to turn the table quickly, even though the place didn’t seem overly busy.
Still, we had an enjoyable time overall. Good food, a great vibe, and a nice little spot to unwind. Would come back, especially for the spicy pasta dishes!

Came here for date night. Sat in dinning room by window. Small dining area but they also have outdoor dining as well. For warm LA nights probably all good. Service was very good. Waiter was very helpful and made recommendations on the menu. The food was very good and delicious. Nice comfortable vibes. Will definitely be back.

Flying under the radar while outperforming and out-executing a lot of LA’s so-called “cool” restaurants. If you’re craving fresh pasta, house-made bread, thoughtful ingredients and an ambiance that makes you feel instantly at home—while also genuinely cared for—this is the place.
The dining room feels like a vacation far from the city, and the food makes you feel like a tourist in your own hometown. If you enjoy comforting food in the company of friends look no further.
A true neighborhood restaurant—one that makes you feel like a regular from day one, and somewhere you return to the way you return to old friends.

Blair’s Italian Restaurant is truly a hidden gem! The place has such a cozy and romantic vibe! perfect for a date night. The service was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. Our server greeted us warmly and took her time explaining her favorite pasta dishes, which made the experience feel so personal. Then the manager came over, asked if it was our first time, and gave us a detailed rundown of the menu. You rarely see this kind of care and attention at restaurants these days! so welcoming, polite, and professional.
The food? Outstanding. From the warm bread and butter to the incredible pastas and even their delicious burger, everything was full of flavor and made with care. I can honestly say this is one of the best Italian dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m craving a top-quality Italian dinner. Highly, highly recommended!

This restaurant surprised me… The food is extremely good! Don’t let the neighborhood vibe throw you off. They care!! Started with a fabulous deep ruby colored Lambrusco ‘Tradizione Zanasi’ at $52–incredibly reasonable. The Fried Calamari is highly recommended as it’s one of the best I have had!! Fried with spicy red peppers and Italian parsley served with a fabulous homemade Tartar. Next a Gem lettuce Market Salad tossed with a light lemon dressing was perfect! The bread, although $12, was worth it–a quarter loaf of Sourdough Rye with butter. The Minestrone Soup was rich and full of flavor topped with Parmesan cheese. Finally the Entrees were well prepared–a respectable cheeseburger with a fabulous ‘special sauce’, caramelized onions and amazing parsley fries!! Also a homemade Gnocchetti with fresh mushrooms and finished with Breadcrumps and thyme. Service was a bit slow toward the end of the meal but the bartender jumped in and took over which was appreciated. The ambience inside is “foody” style smaller wooden tables with small candles. I think that table cloths are well deserved here and would be welcomed! There a few tables in the main room where the bar sits and then about a dozen tables in the nest two rooms. There is also a more casual outdoor area that is basically candle-lit wooden picnic tables. But dont worry–they care a lot more about the food than anything else and it shows from start to finish! Will return soon!!

Nice environment, food didn’t hit! Tagliatelle bolognese was too salty. The pizza was very thick and hearty, maybe it was an off night. Service was nice and it was about $70 a person. French fries were good.

Food was good! They forgot a dish so we had to wave them down towards the latter half of our meal but they were able to get the dish for us once asked. It’s a bit hard to get their attention though so we were trying a bit to get water, etc. It’s a big place though- a lot bigger than it seemed outside. I’ll definitely be back to try the other dishes.
