    I love food so I don't discriminate on food. Simple dish as the Ceasar salad was fresh and delicous to a richer, decadent, Beef Bourguignon that literally melted in your mouth were all delicous. Be daring. If too cautious the staff is more than willing to help.

    We've dined at the original Civico in San Diego before, and were excited to try their new location in Los Angeles and bring along our close friends who are vegan to test their vegan menu as well. To no surprise, their food was absolutely perfect, and on a rainy day the ambiance, wine, and flavors were cozy, friendly, and we didn't feel rushed to scarf down our meal and move along. The textures of the vegan cheeses were all divine, and the tiramisu (which we put head-to-head) were both to die for.

    We were the 1st to arrive at 5pm when they open and it was great, because our original seating was by the door and we were able to scoot over to the window view, which was better for our comfort. So glad we were accommodated. It was my dad's 84th birthday celebration and he wanted to have an unforgettable Veal Parmigiana. Every review had pointed to Rao's and I know my dad loves huge portions. So when the meal came, I could just see my dad's eyes light up! We ordered the stuffed mushroom and Vegetables for the Day and chose Broccolini. All was prepared spectacularly. Tasty, hot and just the right portion to split with my family of 4 all together. Our server was the best, so gracious and when I asked if we could put his birthday cake in the fridge, they later brought it out with candles lit and dishes to serve the cake and sang my dad his birthday song. We got coffees that were out of this world delicious. Went perfect with our cake. I highly recommend Rao's for any lifetime celebration, but even for a lovely dinner, we will be back. My niece ordered the Carbonara and said it was the best she has ever had.

    Worth a visit for breakfast whether you're shopping the LA Flower Mart or not! I changed up and went with the shrimp n grits. The grits were better than most in town and the dish was flavor-packed! I could go for more grits in the serving though. My date had the crab benedict which she loved, with the exception of the biscuit. I had to agree, it was a little too dense. You can't miss with the chicken and waffles here. I also tried the Rose Mojito for the first time and the second time, lol! Really good, so be careful!
