Reviews
Lunch at Vespaio was an outstanding experience from start to finish. After a morning at the BROAD. The restaurant strikes a perfect balance between relaxed atmosphere and refined dining. From the moment we arrived, the service was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed or overly formal. The staff clearly knew the menu well and made thoughtful recommendations. The food was exceptional. Every dish was prepared with care and beautifully presented. The ingredients tasted fresh and vibrant, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. It’s clear that the kitchen takes pride in both quality and consistency. Each course arrived at the right pace, allowing us to enjoy the meal and conversation. What truly stood out was how seamless the entire evening felt. Great service paired with excellent food created a memorable experience. Vespaio is the kind of place you look forward to returning to, knowing the experience will be just as enjoyable next time.
Stopped by Vespaio near The Broad in DTLA. The space is really nice and the service was solid. Food was decent—nothing bad, just not super flavorful. Overall, a good, convenient spot if you’re already in the area hitting the museums or theaters, but not somewhere I’d go out of my way for.
great place to meet friends for dinner after work. get the salad. beers on tap great wine selection fresh cocktails steaks made to order pounded chicken with mashed potatoes chocolate ganache cheesecake
I stopped in alone before a concert at the walt Disney music center. They didn't make me feel at all awkward for being alone..some places do. They sat me where I was comfortable and the waitress was very helpful and kind about recommending dishes. They also didn't make me feel awkward for not ordering a main dish. I wasn't that hungry so I had the octopus appetizer. She suggested it because it was almost like a meal, with potatoes and green beans. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the octopus. My mom used to fix it when I was little but I'd never try it. I recommend it. I had a glass of wine with it. I then had coffee with an apple cake type of dessert with vanilla ice cream which was really good too.. the atmosphere was lively with lots of folks dressed up to go to the concert too. Nice evening out.
Will return for the decor, service, and food. The food is fantastic: it looks great and tastes wonderful. We've: fried octopus Arancino fried calamari & zucchini baked veggies trios A few steps away from the Disney Concert Hall and the opera house (which offer 10% off with a ticket), it features a high ceiling, wood shutters (or wood-like?), an open kitchen, and tiles, with thin stems; it just feels right for me. We sat by the bar because tables are all booked - it's an opera night. We learned of this Italian restaurant from two ladies we met at last night's concert at Disney - go figure -:). The bartender doesn't have a fancy shaking motion but is keeping a close eye on us: constantly asking if we need a refill or something. I don't consider it pushy, even though our glasses are half empty. When the bar area got busy, they asked two people to move to accommodate a foursome. The only TV monitor is showing sports, with eight events going on simultaneously. I glanced at the volleyball from time to time, but was unable to follow: just too hard with seven other things going on. Maybe just one? Change the channel when someone asks? They've two corporate events going on that night: one with 150 people and one with 50. The hors d'oeuvres look so yummy that it gives me the urge to sneak in, ha ha ha. By 6pm, the house is packed to the brim. One staff member came looking for wine, which is behind us. He asked the bartender for help - sorry, I don't speak Spanish, but my best guess is that he couldn't find the wine his table had ordered. Desserts are made in-house except macrons. Oh, the 10% off with the opera ticket, of course, I forgot all about it when paying.
