Angelini Osteria

The LA Link & Dine Restaurants - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"You could probably walk past this dime-sized Italian restaurant on Beverly Blvd. a hundred times and not notice it, but that would be a huge mistake on your part. For well over a decade, Angelini Osteria has served some of the best old-school Italian dishes in the city. It’s fancier (and better) than the somewhat generic space might make you think it would be, and you should plan on dropping some serious money. It’s worth it though—from sea urchin linguine to veal shank agnolotti, this is where real pasta happens." - Team Infatuation

"Angelini is a beloved Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. (Don’t just take my word for it—Saweetie named it as one of her favorite restaurants in a list for The Infatuation while Hailey and Justin Bieber were spotted having a lunch date there recently.) It has two locations: one in Fairfax and another in the Pacific Palisades, the latter of which is currently closed due to the tragic fires that ripped through the region. (Even more of a reason to visit the Fairfax branch and support.) Order the sea urchin spaghetti and lasagna verde “omaggio nonna Elvira.” —Elise Taylor"

"You could walk past this tiny Italian spot on Beverly Blvd. a hundred times (there’s now a second location in the Palisades) and not notice it, but that would be a mistake. For well over a decade, Angelini Osteria has been serving some of the best old-school Italian dishes in the city. It’s fancy-ish and mature, and you should plan on dropping some serious money. It’s worth it, though—from the lasagna verde to veal shank agnolotti with white truffles, Angelini is where you go to eat consistently top-notch pasta." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore

"The delicious cooking at this humble osteria has been drawing crowds for more than two decades—and in a city that rolls out the red carpet for the hottest new thing, that’s no small feat. This simple, authentic charmer is the real deal, right down to the red scarf-bedecked chef in the kitchen as well as those regulars sipping and supping on Italian wines and fresh pasta in the dining room.Though the service brigade leans old school, their generous spirit defies the gruff stereotype. Menu favorites include expertly grilled calamari, linguini with sea urchin and a perfectly authentic tiramisu for dessert. On your way out, be sure to pop into the café next door for a jar or two of Chef Gino Angelini’s sauce and bring the goodness home." - Michelin Inspector

The Best Pasta Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"Angelini Osteria is a Beverly Boulevard legend thanks to chef Gino Angelini and his incredible pasta-making skills. The classy dining room remains one of the most reliable places for top-tier Italian food in the city, even if dozens of other newcomers have come in the decades since Angelini opened. From the restaurant’s signature lemon cream pasta to the linguine with sea urchin and the fried basil-topped lasagna — this is a true haven for pasta lovers." - Matthew Kang
