If you’re a picky eater like me, (when it comes to vegan food) this is the place to order from! They don’t just amazingly season each dish, the amount of food is very good. You pay for what you get. I only ordered take-outs several times, but I only have great things to say about their food. The crispy mushroom, and the special red sauce pasta (the gluten free option) are always my go to. I looooove this place and looking forward to take my family to eat here in person soon!

We had a very nice server and there’s a great ambiance at Scopa, perfect for dates and connecting with friends alike. They have a gorgeous bar, large window, candles on the tables, and all of our food came perfectly coursed. We were easily able to make a same-day reservation via the Resy app, and I do recommend making a reservation in advance because it was popping when we arrived. For parking, you can either park in the connected valet lot ($13 on a Monday) or look for free street parking (we found it pretty easily, but then again it was a Monday). There are the top four absolute must-order items you should order to share: 1. Hot Antipasti - Scallops Oreganata ($23) with brown butter, bread crumbs, & lemon. I’m gluten free so I asked for no breadcrumbs, and I also recommend ordering a side of gluten free bread to dip in the brown butter after you finish enjoying the scallops because they have the absolute best gluten free cheesecheese bread! They only came with 2 scallops in an order so consider ordering enough so each person can have at least 1 full scallop. 2. Hot Antipasti - Mortadella Meatballs ($21) with pistachio pesto, arugula, & parmesan cheese. This came with 3 medium-large sized meatballs covered in a delicious green pesto - don’t let looks deceive you, even if this isn’t how you expect meatballs to look they’re delish. 3. Cold Antipasti - Heirloom Tomatoes ($18) with sweet onion, basil, ricotta salata cheese, sherry vinegar, & olive oil. If you enjoy tomatoes of all shapes and sizes, this is the dish for you. My favorite were the little orange tomatoes. 4. Salad - Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad ($22) with generous pecorino romano cheese, parsley, grapes, olive oil, sherry vinegar, & toasted almonds. This was a good portion size and the best raw Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. While I did really enjoy the flavor of oysters themselves and their sauces, and I do want to put them as item 5 to order, each of the oysters had some shell bits had to spit out, and it only came with 1 spoon and 0 mini forks. The oysters come with lemon slices, cocktail sauce, shredded horseradish, mignonette, and are $4.50 each with a minimum of 6. I would order them again, but enjoy them carefully and hope that they’re shucked better next time. However… Maybe things were off because it was a Monday and they had multiple large last minute parties walk in. Maybe I should have gone for the pastas instead of the below because it is an Italian restaurant. Maybe I’m just a person who enjoys more seasoning on seafood or less sauce on pork chops, but a few of the dishes weren’t exactly as good as I was expecting. Unless you love canned tuna, absolutely avoid the Sicilian Tuna Cold Antipasti ($19) with market green beans, fingerling potato, capers, lemon, & olive oil. It wasn’t until we mentioned to our server our strong disappointment with the dish, as we were expecting either Tuna Crudo or Seared Tuna, that our server told us that he usually steers guests away from it. It also had zero seasoning, and boy did it need it. It also feels like this dish should have automatically been served with crackers. The Amberjack Crudo ($25) with watermelon radish, bulls blood micro greens, & herb oil needed a combo-sauce or a stronger flavored oil, as it was very bland as-is. Luckily not a fishy-fish, but still lackluster for their only fish crudo on the menu. For the Mains, they were already sold out of the 24oz T-bone Steak ($82) when we arrived, and the server recommended the Pork Chop. The generous portion of Pork Chop ($66) came with crispy fingerling potatoes, roasted shallots, olives, capers, garlic, balsamic vinegar, & fresh herbs. The balsamic was more of a thick, sweet, heavy glaze, and it overpowered the meat. Personally, we both felt it was over-sauced.

This is my new favorite pizza place! My mother visited last year and would sing its praises every time we ate pizza (we aren’t from LA) so we had to come try it. It did not disappoint. Their pizza is insanely good, with stretchy cheese, and good quality crust. They also can make gluten free pizzas that taste just like the original. The best part is the staff. Our server Anaise is so nice, she chatted with us, took our picture, and even gave us complementary wings to try just cuss! This is not a restaurant you find often. It’s yummy, reasonably priced, and the company makes you feel at home. Can’t say enough nice things about Braazos! Try it for yourself!

Outstanding food, ambiance, and service!!! We are regulars here at Roots after stumbling upon it a few years back. Typically enjoy their butter chicken, cheese dosa, and aloo tikki. Also delicious & very reasonably priced cocktails, around ~$12, highly recommend the Punjabi Mango & Nirvana Sangria. We have had Indian food all over LA and this is our favorite by far! As Punjabi-Americans, Roots has a special place in our heart for the way it blends traditional and creates new fusion flavors. This is the type of place our grandparents & our West LA friends would equally appreciate! Tons of vegan and gluten free options & an allergy marked menu, much appreciated by this Celiac. Our server Noor was very knowledgable & went above and beyond. The host Harshobit was fantastic as well. Top notch experience overall, we’ll be back soon Roots!

Petra

The handmade gnocchi was pillowy soft; the Alfredo wasn’t too heavy; great gluten free adjustments/options. Would happily return!

Finally went here with a friend, both of us have visited family in Italy throughout our lives (for me: Salerno region) and needed to catch up and vent over good food. This pasta is so good. Everything there felt like being g back in Italy and not the tourist traps. They even had stelline/pastina and bone marrow! We ended up getting bone marrow, tiramisu, and the Angus ragù and wild boar ragù pastas. Everything was incredible and I've had dreams about the tiramisu since. They also use really good flour here it seems because I'm someone who can't really digest most wheat, not gluten but all wheat in the US just makes me feel sick almost like an allergy. The bread and pasta here was the rare wheat outside of Italy that I didn't feel sick, I didn't feel bloated, I wasn't in pain for days. Just stelline-eyed thinking about when I could visit again and try the next pasta. Friend is the same way and said the same thing. I only wish they had little pasta flight samplers 😅 For allergies: they're very good. I have a shellfish allergy and cross contamination wasn't a concern and there were plenty of non-shellfish options that were fantastic.

Andy Swartz

This is our go to gluten free pizza place in LA currently. Crust is done real nice and always tastes great.

Daniel Utecht

Gluten free and vegan options although be aware the marinera has mozzarella. Pizza was good, thin crust but big portion.

Michelle Tripodi

The food, service, and outdoor dining ambiance were all fantastic. We came here for dinner because it's close to my moms place in MDR and they allow her to bring her emotional support dog on the patio. I would come back again for all the other reasons. In addition, I'm gluten-free, and they were very accommodating! One of the items I had was gluten-free pasta (I always ask for cooked well=soft) with their pesto cream sauce as a side. Very delicious!

Elizabeth Tighe

Great Italian restaurant, enjoyed the good service. Really popular, whole place filled up by 6pm. I enjoyed the meatballs, portions were giant, could have fed a family. Wished there was a more keto offering, but hey it's an Italian restaurant known for good pasta dishes. Did offer gluten free pasta tho. Enjoyable.

Emi McDonald

Ordered a Gluten-Free crust as I have a strong gluten allergy - not it. Tough, dense cardboard :( The toppings were phenomenal so it's such a bummer that the crust ruined it.

Shuccle

Exceptional gluten free celiac safe pizza, in LA !!! I have celiac disease, so finding safe joints to enjoy a warm pie is always tough. I called here ahead of time to ask if they can cater to someone with celiac, and the manager who picked up the phone (his name is Fred) was so nice! Absolutely outstanding customer service. I felt right at home. I'll be completely honest though, as good as the pizza was, I've had tastier GF pizza in LA. However, I'll be darned to ever find customer service as amazing as I did tonight, so I'm not even complaining. 5-stars all-around!

Allen Cummins

Very good food. Kind wait staff. Vegan and gluten free options.

Daniel Ball

Bestb meal ever. Burger. Sea bass sprouts. Gluten free. Dairy free. Gorgeous. creative. I'll be back soon.

Dana Grethen

Quaint corner pasta and pizza spot. It was busy on the Tuesday eve my friends and I visited. All three of us loved our pasta orders. The beet salad was delicious. I require gluten free, and the staff were readily knowledgeable about what could be offered as gluten free (which was most of the pasta options). Pizza can also be made gluten free, however for those who are celiac, the pizza is all made in the same oven so cross contamination can occur. Expansive wine menu with several by the glass options ranging from $15-25. Server was great!

Edward Alexis

This is my go-to spot to meet up with friends...love the indoor/outdoor options and the vibes. My main dish is the BBQ chicken pizza (gluten free😍)...and their meatball dish. So grateful for this place!!

Beth Lakretz

I was on my own and wanted an outdoor table. There were no open tables so they sat me at the bar. Hannah behind the bar was amazing! Great energy and SO knowledgeable about the food. I had the ocean trout and it was beautifully presented, light and so flavorful. The gluten free chocolate hazelnut cake was delicious. Highly recommend.

gen sherry

I really love their pizzas! Especially since I have a gluten problem and their dough doesn't affect me at all. Only reason I'm giving them 4 stars, is because when my husband went there to buy raw pizza dough, they were very rude and dismissive towards him, and said they didn't sell dough, that was surprisingly because I've bought raw dough from them without an issue a few times. I still order from them though!

Jessie Epstein

Absolutely hands down the best gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had. Parking is horrendous but I will risk it again for this, the perfect pizza.

Kelly Loughlin

The gluten free pizza is good! Quattro formaggi was fantastic.

Monse Sanchez

They have hand made Gluten free pasta it is so delicious. Soft and so comforting. The food is so delicious. The service is excellent. They don’t have gluten free menu but server will explain the options

Will Dorvall

Great gluten free pizza and amazing service

Nick Robitaille

Great gluten free pie, maybe the best in the city.

Amy Eff

It's a take away pizza place with a few tables and a funky statue. It's also conveniently open past midnight and has a commercially made gluten free pizza crust. Vegetarian pizza had generous toppings but we were too hungry to take a picture. Long read trip. Thanks Mr. Pizza.

Amy Jewell

Our group of 7 stopped in here after a grueling day at Universal. The wait for a table took a long time, but we were patient and boy was it worth it! 3 hungry kids and 4 exhausted adults were all pleased as punch with our meals. My husband and I are gluten intolerant and the server was very confident in knowing what would work to be GF. The roasted balsamic Brussels sprouts were delicious! They have GF penne pasta as a substitute for most of their dishes and the chicken picatta I had was flavorful and plentiful!! Everyone cleared their plates and were more than happy. Shout out to our hard working server - a Monday crew during a holiday rush time caused delays but he was attentive despite serving 4 big groups.

Mark Gabriel

Been coming here for years. So lucky that this spot is walking distance. They are the spot to hit for a late night slice and also gluten-free pizza for the kids! Staff is always nice and they have such a great neighborhood feel. On top of that, the pizza and antipasto salad are bomb!

allen williams

Super friendly staff comes by with a cheese grater or anything else you like but before you've even thought to ask. Gluten free options, service dog welcome, paperdalle with Italian sausage was excellent. Aanrader / recommended!

Holly Stanford

Stunning atmosphere, and the food was awesome. They have options for every major diet (typical, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free). The server was attentive and very kind. Highly recommend! Get a reservation!

Whitney Stambler

I have been to Maria's many times and the quality is on point each time. This past weekend I celebrated a milestone birthday and without question wanted to provide catering from Maria's. I ordered the pasta with pink sauce, a gluten/vegan pasta marina, 2 salads, garlic knotts, and bruschetta and it all got devoured. So many friends asked me where the food came from. I am so so happy how much everyone ate everything, hardly a drop left for leftovers! Thank you Maria's for being a part of my birthday celebration. I look forward to the next time I come and eat in person!

Petra

Upscale Italian restaurant. My gluten free pizza was excellent. Staff very friendly.

Left: meatball - right top: gluten free pasta with salmon , bottom arabiata. Overall service was good. Pasta was over cooked and meatball was kinda old( i could taste the oldness) . Marinara sauce was delicious but the arabiata was supposed to be spicy with chili flakes which i didnt see any. Wont go back for a second time personally, but not bad just to try out.

Kim Pemberton

Gluten free spaghetti noodles with vodka sauce was amazing.

Monica

Nested within Grand Central Market, a great find with gluten free past options. The Mac and cheese is what dreams are made of and such a good and cheesy Mac and cheese!! Definitely recommend. Their lemonade was great as well.

Christine Camberos

Love that they have gluten free options.

Lily Sheedy

My dining experience at Della Terra was a 10/10. The owner Michael and his staff took amazing care of our large group and the food was super delicious. I had the penne alla vodka (an off menu item that Michael suggested) with gluten free noodles and it was so creamy and tasty. Would definitely return especially if I’m looking for somewhere that seats large groups!

Everything was SO delicious! We came here for the first time today for my sister's birthday and the entire experience was fantastic! The atmosphere is intimate and beautiful. We sat inside but there is also an outside patio option. Our server was so nice and attentive. He answered all our menu questions. We also met Tony one of the brothers who owns the restaurant and personally creates the menu. It's family owned and they have been in the silverlake area for 27 years. Having recently moved into the area we are so happy to support a local family owned business. They have an extensive drink menu with wine and bar options. My mom got a specialty Irish coffee and my brother got their margarita both of which they greatly enjoyed. We had the bruschetta appetizer which was light and delicious to start with. Then my brother and mom split the sage butter ravioli and one of the specials of the day a pear strawberry date candied walnut salad with crumbled feta cheese they raved about. My brother said the raviolis were the best he's ever tried. The sage butter sauce in particular was exceptional. My sister loved her Fettuccine Alfredo! I got the fish of the day which was perfectly cooked and the lemon caper sauce was exquisite! They easily accommodated my dietary restrictions and were so nice about it. Our server walked me through which options on the menu were dairy free and I had quite a few to choose from. I also noted for next time that they have a gluten free pasta substitution for those who want it. My brother got a Pappardelle Alla Domenica to go because everything was so good and he also rated that extremely high when I asked. I didn't take photos because we were so busy eating and celebrating but everything was beautifully plated in addition to being delicious. We ended the meal with a tiramisu which my family loved and I had a cafe latte which they easily substituted almond milk for me. They brought out a birthday hat and decorations and we sang happy birthday to my sister who was incredibly happy! We are so grateful they made her day so wonderful and memorable. We will definitely be back!!

Dan Chase

Some great pizza! Gluten free is really good also!

Saramay Benavides

This pizzeria offered inside and outside dining. I was greeted when I walked in and seated immediately. They offered bread rolls and our drinks were served promptly. The pizza was delicious. The pepperoni was good, it wasn't evenly distributed but the pizza was delicious and the dough was on point. They offer lunch specials and plenty parking available . It's a family friendly environment and I loved the wall decor. They also offer gluten-free pizza 👍👍

Becky Blades

The pizza was good and there are gluten free options on the menu, which are the always available at Italian restaurants. Service was pleasant and efficient. The terrace dining area was peaceful and comfortable.

Chef Robert Olivares

For the most part of my dining experiences I tend to stray away from chain restaurants instead opting for smaller mom and type spots. However for dinner tonight my wife was craving Olive Garden. I think for a lot of people the Olive Garden represents something familiar and there for comforting. Everyone knows about the endless bread sticks and soups. So tonight that’s where we opted to go. Our server Stephanie Q was incredibly warm and welcoming. She had an understanding about the overall great of cheese and a cheerful demeanor. She added so much to our experience just by being our server. We started with the fried Calamari. It was great, perfectly fried with a bit of a crunch. For our soups we went with our usual creamy chicken gnocchi with lots of cheese!! My wife went with the eggplant Parmesan and swapped out her spaghetti for gluten free rigatoni and creamy mushroom sauce. They both had a great flavor and I am actually thinking I might try the creamy mushroom sauce later. I went with the spaghetti with meat sauce and I added sausage. My only complaint would be that I forgot the sausage comes in links, I would have preferred it chopped and tossed with the pasta itself. Other than that everything was great and we finished our evening off with a strawberry ricotta cheesecake. It was the perfect ending to our meal.

Today the business made a big mistake on my order. They sent a message the same day. I’ll give them a ton of credit for that. The store was virtually empty though, so I’m not fully convinced by the anyone can make a mistake excuse. I’m not calling foul play. I’m just saying pay attention to what you’re doing. In any case the review went up one star and service went from one to four stars. They were very nice so I’ll trust them. They offered a panini on the house and that is kind but I don’t accept comped food. That’s a yelp thing. Below is the original review. They put tomatoes in my panini! Blech! I asked them to not put any in. Big mistake! I hate tomatoes! I actually bit into the sandwich and ate some tomato which is so gross! Ruined my first taste! They would have gotten a better rating. Anyway I really like the bread they use. It’s like high quality Mexican bolillos from Central Mexico. The panini is served warm and the bread is soft and tasty. The cold cuts have pistachios in them and are pretty good. the stracciatella is great. The pesto could be better but it’s ok. All in all you’ll enjoy the panini. It’s not the flat kind you’re used to. It’s more like a high quality roll. The panini is not big and it’s expensive. It’s just under $18 with a 20% tip. I also got an Italian lemon soda for under $3. The place is small and narrow and looks cool. Cool music. They have vegetarian and gluten free options. Vegan too I think. Meter parking in front.

Erin Music

Awesome! Gluten free AND vegan options to accommodate a bunch of different diets! Super yummy! Riley was very helpful, sweet and knowledgeable! A++ Thank you!

Elizabeth Strombeck

My Fiancée and I have lived in the neighborhood for almost 2 years and Trattoria Del Sole has become our favorite spot. The food is always fresh and always so good. We feel like we’re at a loved ones house for family dinner when we eat here. I always go for the Ravioli Zucca or Penne with pink sauce & my fiancée loves the bolognese as someone who is gluten free. The fresh baked bread & Scampi del Sole is the best way to start your meal off. Staff is always so friendly and attentive. Love this place!!
