The service and food was excellent. Ordered the lobster pasta, and was impressive, I would suggest more of a spice to the dish. I added the parmesean cheese and this was a game change: Gave a whole new taste, was the best parm I had ever tasted. The Scallops and mushrooms were my least favorite. Nothing to write about. This was my first experience eating veal, and I don’t think I would eat this any other way than how I had it prepared at Drago. Was a memorable taste, and very pleased with the whole experience

I believe that peak performances are carefully detailed and meticulous. The food here is always superb and part of the reason I come back over and over. Every dish is made to perfection and although the portions are small they each have their own story to tell – the experience by taste alone is wonderful from start to finish. Where Drago has consistently missed the mark for me is their service. I have given them the benefit of the doubt because I have dined here with big office tables, dinner dates and even family outings. The most recent experience felt that, from the very start, we were a table that was not a high ticket (6+ guests) and therefore was not treated as such. To the untrained eye it may have seemed like I didn’t recognize the lower level of client service. However, it is clear to me, as someone who wants to create memorable experiences for my own clients, that I may not trust Drago with a complete wow client experience. A very honest personal opinion. Hats off to the chefs here!

Lovely space, with fine service and excellent food. Not inexpensive, but totally reasonable given the quality and the times we are in. But I do really object to the $45 a bottle corkage fee. We brought two special, well aged bottles of wine, with nothing on their list anything like my bottles, and we were charged $90 to open them, even after we also bought one bottle from their list as well. As a wine collector who wants to drink what I have collected (and aged in my cellar) when I dine out, this fee is too high and I probably won’t return. Too bad.

I’ve been to Celestino many times as that is closer to home. I’ve also been to Drago when it was in Santa Monica (12 years ago). Drago Centro is also a great restaurant with delicious Italian dishes. Great service too. The web site needs to be updated for parking and free shuttle. The parking is valet only, and there is no free shuttle to the local venues.

Great service, great food and a wonderful bar. This is a gem of a restaurant that you should go to if you are in the area. We have been multiple times and every time it is a great experience. The baby artichokes salad and the grilled peach salads were great. The branzino was very fresh and perfectly cooked. My date has pasta with pheasant and mushrooms and he said it was incredible.

I took my parents here for lunch and the decor / vibe is pretty relaxed with an excellent wine cellar that has see through glass. The bar looks pretty cool too, but we took the outdoor seating on a nice sunny but not too hot day.

I just had one of the best not just Italian meals in all the times I’ve been to Los Angeles, but, certainly, one of the best meals. I get to LA about once a month and I’m constantly looking for new in different places to eat. Being of Italian ethnicity and growing up in the restaurant business, I am very VERY picky when it comes to Italian food. Everything about my meal was perfect. My server, Mitch, was friendly and attentive. My water glass was never empty, my food was delivered hot and fresh, and a slightly special request was accommodated with pleasantness rather than frustration.
