If you are looking for authentic Italian food and warm inviting service, visit Caffe Pinguini. We were in the area and got a last minute reservation and glad we did! Our homemade pasta dishes were great and the gelato dessert a perfect complement to our dinner.

All the dishes we ordered were great. I had fettuccine with meat sauce.

Delicious authentic Italian food. We enjoyed everything from the appetizers to the entrees, and the desserts as well. The service was fantastic, our server was very attentive. It was our first time here, and I am glad that we found Caffe Pinguini. We’ll be back!

Here I am AGAIN! Caffe Pinguini has quickly become my favorite Italian restaurant here in LA! Love the service, atmosphere, food and let’s not forget the amazing wines the serve! Here’s a peek at dinner tonight…highly recommend BOTH dishes!

Opens at 5pm (on fridays) and usually gets busy about an hour after opening. We had a bit of everything they had suggested since it was our first time there and frankly it was not what we expected. Over all the service was great, the staff was attentive & friendly but Unfortunately the food was not worth what we paid. The noodles were quite chewy, slightly under cooked even, tossed in a dried tomato paste like “sauce” with no garnish or “fresh ingredient” taste. We ordered two types of soups of which both tasted of the same broth, definitely not of fresh chicken broth but of generic carton grocery store broth. I would however recommend the pizza with peppers, mushrooms & sausage and a salad which actually tasted house-made fresh to order. Wine selection was great but the dessert could have been better for the price.

One of my best dinning experiences. The soup is so good. Service perfect. I wishI didn’t live 3,000 miles away. Dessert worth flying here renting a car just for that.

Chef prepared special ravioli in pink sauce for us without any meat sauce and it was delicious
Went with my mom and we love Italian but vegetarian, so ended up getting the cheese ravioli along with pizza! Delicious! Will go back again when traveling that way!

I had a reservation and was seating immediately. The place was very crowded, cramped, and loud though. I ordered the Vodka Pasta, and it tasted very good (nothing special though.) I also ordered the Caesar Salad and it was the best one I’ve tasted in my life. For dessert I had the Pineapple Sorbetto and it did not disappoint. The food tasted very fresh and authentic. I would go back.
