"A Roman-inspired restaurant run by Jason Goldman that has refocused its menu toward pastas—such as gnocchi alla Romana and cavatelli—alongside salads and larger proteins like branzino and bistecca; its pizzas, which bridge Roman and Neapolitan styles, are being moved to the new adjacent aperitivo bar." - Rebecca Roland
"An Italian restaurant that is expanding its footprint with a sister bar concept focused on aperitivi and pizza; the new bar is expected to arrive in Echo Park around June." - Rebecca Roland
"This ode to Rome is a love letter to gorgeous architecture and rich pasta, like the campanelle with chanterelle mushrooms. Find plush focaccia ebraica dotted with olives, currants, and rosemary on the menu, which pairs well with a glass of wine off the extensive menu. Larger dishes include pizza, branzino, rigatoni with Amatriciana, and bistecca. Don’t neglect well-prepared vegetable sides like roasted kabocha squash, broccolini with walnuts, and radicchio with shaved fennel." - Rebecca Roland

"Tucked away in Echo Park, Bacetti's brunch stood out with dishes like the amatriciana baked eggs—beautifully cooked eggs in a tomato sauce with cannellini beans, pecorino Romano, guanciale, and grilled bread for dipping—which made my morning, and the restaurant somehow manages low noise so conversation isn't a struggle." - Eater Staff
"Echo Park trattoria Bacetti, which serves Roman and Roman-inspired fare made with California produce, is opening for brunch starting this weekend." - Virali_Dave
