Élephante

Surprisingly not hard to get a booking on a friday night. Overall the experience was positive but for the price, the food overall fall a bit short of expectation. Salad was good, meatballs can be better, calamari was decent but the sauce does not seem match. The bread and dip was good too but the eggplant was hard to taste. Cavatelli pasta was good but i think the balance was off due too much cheese. And the sausage was a bit too mushy. The vodka pasta was solid, the the Squash Agnolotti was the best pasta I had in a while. Steak is crowd favorite but the special duck dish is not there. The duck smelled a bit off but unfortunately it happens once in a while. Not much a restaurant can do. Sides was good too. Service is nice an chill. Its worth a try for sure.

Beautiful restaurant with great views of the ocean from the windows. We were able to be seated before sunset — highly recommend getting a reservation. The whipped eggplant was unique and delicious as well, and the service was friendly. It felt a bit crowded inside the restaurant, with the seats and tables crammed next to each other, and it was harder to talk as it was very loud inside. The food also took longer than expected to come out, but it was nice to sit and enjoy the views.

Horrible experience. Everything was bad, especially the service and the food. First, we asked for iced lattes and they gave us all hot lattes. When we pointed this out they dumped the hot lattes into another glass with 3 ice cubes; the lattes were still warm and now, watered down. Our waiter was SUPER un-attentive. It took us forever to order our main dishes. To give the restaurant credit, the food came out fast and looked tasty. However, looks can be deceiving...the food was horrible too. The ocean view was nice, but it was hard to even look at it because the pasta tasted like it had been dunked in the salty ocean water. Our cacio e pepe and ragu tasted so salty we thought the whole salt canister was dumped onto the dishes. Since the waiter was no where to be seen, we only had one measly

Elephante was one of those restaurants that instantly stood out when searching for top Italian spots in the area. I can confidently say this experience was an absolute 10/10 from start to finish. I started with the Caesar salad and ordered the vodka sauce pasta. The Caesar was incredibly flavorful and generously portioned, and the vodka sauce pasta had some of the best flavor I’ve had in a long time — easily the standout of the meal. We sat outside by the window, which was perfect, but the indoor space is just as impressive. The interior has a bright, airy vibe that almost feels like something you’d find in Arizona (even though I’ve never been there), which made the atmosphere feel unique and memorable. I would go back to Elephante again and again without hesitation. This was my first r

This rooftop restaurant is pretty cute. It has a nice ambience and overlooks the beach from afar. We came here for brunch. The food is decent, dessert is pretty good. We got the steak and eggs and it was tasty. This scrambled egg with prosciutto and cheese bread was delicious. The pepper pasta ( cacio e pepe ) is also pretty tasty. The mango and pineapple sorbet was delicious. Tiramisu was also delicious. This restaurant is worth going to if you are in LA
