Caffe Concerto

A fusion Korean restaurant in K-Town! I ordered a variety of dishes and desserts, but my favorite was the Truffle Pizza. The blueberry macarons were also delicious. Definitely try them after your meal! The staff was friendly and the prices were more affordable than I expected. I will definitely be coming back!"

Went to see a concert at The Wiltern and chose to try this spot since it was nearby. Walking inside was a bit confusing as no one was there to greet and we had to wander a bit to ask if they were even open. The service was a bit slow but our waiter gifted fries to us and a few other tables so that was cool because they were so good. The hubby got spaghetti and I ordered the steak. Overall the food was good and it seems to be a hot spot in that area.

I came here a total of 2 times and I had such a mixed experience. Once for food and once for dessert. When i came here for food a couple months ago, the service was really bad. In their defense, I think they had an event going on or maybe they were taking care of a big group, but they kept forgetting our requests and the food took a really long time to come out. We also had to ask for the check twice, and then we ended up going up to ask again in person. Although the service was bad, the food itself tasted really good and the atmosphere was super cute! I went to get dessert yesterday and that was such a good experience. Denton was our server and he was so funny and charming. Not only was he attentive, he was also super helpful and generous. He kept us laughing all night! I loved our dessert experience. Overall I'd come back because it seems like the dining experience was just a one off? It's yummy and the atmosphere makes it a cute date spot.

Just to-go'd personal favorite a Margarrita Pizza... And the food quality and tasted awful! Even below average. Take a look at my photos. See how much topping they put to save some money. Also I ordered pizza at 5:02pm and I got the pizza at 5:30pm when there wasn't even much customers... Very slow. I don't know if I want to pay $28 for that quality of Pizza again. It was also way too salty for my liking...

We ordered vongole pasta, Mentaiko pasta, and prosciutto & arugula pizza. Pizza and vongole pasta came out after the order, but mentaiko pasta didn't come out while we finished eating both dishes. After a long time, when we asked the waitress why the food wasn't coming out, she said they couldn't make it because ran out of mentaiko. They should’ve let us know when we ordered it. When we asked after 20 minutes, she responded that there were no ingredients? I don't understand.

This place is a fusion Korean Italian Restaurant I’ve been wanting to try. We sat on the 2nd floor but I am not sure if there is much seating on the 1st floor besides the cute little patio area. They had valet parking which was a plus and I recently found out that they’re dog friendly. For appetizer we ordered Fried Calamari and Grilled Squid Salad. For main we ordered Lobster Pasta, Frutti Di Mare, Spaghetti Carbonara, Frutti Di Mare Risotto We even had Tiramisu and Fruit Tart for dessert. Starting from the appetizer bread, everything was very delicious. Our friends especially liked the grilled squid salad and lobster pasta. My other favorite was the tiramisu and I would like to try other desserts as well.

Such a lovely place to eat! Beautiful atmosphere and amazing food! Definitely recommend for brunch/lunch/dinner. Have the lobster pasta!

The food is always delicious, but there seems to be a strict policy that doesn't allow guests to choose anything. For example, we asked to be seated upstairs, but we had no choice. My friends and I wanted to celebrate a friend's birthday with our own cake, but they charged a $20 cake fee, so we gave up to celebrate and packed the cake to go. Also the services are not friendly with cold faces. All 4 of my friends said we shouldn't be here next time. Why we pay for the tip they would like to get over 18%, 20% and 25% . I tipped $20 for $150 food cost. Also had to pay $4 each for the parking fee.

the best restaurant in Korean town, the most handsome waiter and so sweet ! Great food, nice people. Will definitely visit again!

Caffé Concerto is a stylish spot with great food and desserts. The cakes are beautiful and delicious, and the coffee is excellent. The vibe is cozy yet elegant, perfect for brunch or a treat. Service is friendly and attentive. 5/5 - A great place to relax and enjoy good food!

Cafe Concerto offers excellent coffee, delicious pastries, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

I just got home from having a fantastic dinner with some girlfriends to celebrate a birthday. This was my first time at Caffe Concerto, and I had never even heard of the place before. My first impression arriving at the restaurant was that it is super cute!! The restaurant is located upstairs, separate from the Bakery area downstairs. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer, and I ordered the truffle risotto for my dinner, and the crème brûlée for my dessert. I also had an espresso martini, which was absolutely delicious!! I am not a big drinker, so when I think a cocktail was very well made, you know it was REALLY GOOD. :) Our waiter, Denton, was an absolute delight and just added to the entire experience for the evening. We asked him to take some pictures of our group, and then also asked if we could get a picture with him before we left. He has such a vibrant and fun personality, and is a great photographer as well!! :) I will definitely be returning to this restaurant and will be recommending it to my friends.

Don't know about the food but the waiter Denton was a TRIP and a half! He was full of sass and brought some really fun vibes to the room. Pretty sure he could go toe to toe with Rupaul. Highly recommend the triple berry shortcake.

I had friend from out of town and always loved this place...but I realize it's been a while and it wasn't the same. Saturday for lunch was a ghost town. I was hoping to sit in their outdoor patio but it was closed and they sat me in their fishbowl which is my least favorite area of the restaurant. Food was pretty good and though the pricing is on the higher side, the portions and flavors were good. Both the kimchi fried rice and bulgogi pizza were tasty. I didn't think I'd like the pizza but it ended up being my favorite dish. Service definitely needs improvement. Valet parking. Neighborhood street parking is quite difficult but not impossible.

This is one of those OG spots on Koreatown that I've dined at over the years and never Yelped about. So finally, I'm sitting down to share my experience and what you need to order here. Ready? When planning a girls only brunch, this has the perfect ambience and food. Think of Kdrama cafes and desserts. They have a quaint indoor dining area and a cozy heated patio which gets super busy and crowded. Plan to make a reservation if you party is more than 4 people. They serve Italian Korean fusion style dishes that suites even my Korean mom's palate. My friends enjoy the bulgogi pizza with wings while my mom and aunt like the sweet Kabocha salad and Gorgonzola pizza and wine. Their macarons are delicious and the coffee drinks are on point. I've been here numerous times just for their dessert and coffee too. The cakes are ok and the cocktails can use better recipes. Parking is valet but on Sunday evenings it's free. The service is always on par and very professional. They also have an upstairs area that is perfect to reserve for large parties and events!

Tried Concerto awhile back and thought the place was ok, but recently tried it again and was pleasantly surprised on my experience here. They have several areas that you can dine at the bar or in two other sections of the restaurant. However, it can get a little cold, but they do have fire lamp things that helps a lot. Recommended Items: sweet potato cake 9/10 - not too sweet and so fluffy and delicate! Truffle fries 7.8/10 - not bad but maybe not enough truffle flavor tomato pasta 8/10 - noodles were cooked really well and tasted pretty decent! They do have a lot of other options ranging from pasta, Korean fusion, and other Italian dishes. They have a cocktail and alcohol menu that I didn't order but will be open to ordering next time. They seem to be under new management as referenced by the waiter so looking forward to my next trip here. Our waiter was really helpful and nice! They have ($3) valet parking or street parking available. Didn't need a reservation went on a Saturday night.

I came here Friday evening with a friend at around 7 PM. We got to seated super fast. I ordered the kimchi carbonara and she ordered the pesto pasta and both were so yummy. The staff was also very attentive and sweet. When we wanted to take a picture of our pasta, one of the waiters came by super quickly to rearrange our plates and put a nice placemat and flowers on our table so the picture turned out nice as you can see in the photo below. :) they also seem to have a lot of desserts, I didn't get to try, but other tables had ordered and it looks so yummyyyy. Ambience is casual but a little formal like you could dress up for a cute date night.

Wow! Denton's service is just amazing!!!! He has a wit & made our time so much fun & enjoyable. Our gathering was laughter whole time

They don't answer any calls!! The food arrives late and I don't like the vibe. But the food is good

The food here is so delicious and especially the service from manager Teton is really sweet.

5 Stars We had an absolutely wonderful experience! The ambience was perfect, the food was phenomenal, and the service was impeccable. We were celebrating my friend's birthday, and DENTON went above and beyond to make it feel extra special. From thoughtful touches to attentive service, Denton truly made our evening unforgettable. Highly recommend this place for any special occasion--or even just a great night out!

Highlights: mentaiko pasta, frutti di mare risotto If you're looking for a fancy or Instagram-worthy Italian restaurant, this might not be the place for you. However, if you're after flavorful pasta and risotto, you're in for a treat. This casual cafe offers a cozy spot where you can enjoy coffee, pasta, and dessert all in one go. I highly recommend the mentaiko pasta and seafood risotto--they're absolutely delicious!

Food: 3.5 - 4 stars Service: 4 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Came for lunch on Thursday and overall, it was just okay. My niece ordered the steak salad and it was 3 stars. Steak wasn't all that good either. My sister ordered Shanghai crab pasta and that was around 4 stars. She said, it wasn't as good as expected. Kinda like Shanghai version of jjam-pong? but not better. I guess my pasta was the best of the three. I would also give 4 stars. It wasn't wow but not bad. We also bought a whole cake and it was $49. Was it worth $49? Not at all. It was a strawberry whipped cream cake (I think) and was not worth $49 at all. Will not buy cake here.

Been coming here a lot recently, like once or twice a month for almost a year now. I think what keeps me constantly wanting to come back is the food, specifically the truffle fries and kimchi carbornara pasta. I think one thing that could improve here is the speed of service and food comnig out. It's really difficult to get a server's attention because you always see them walking around doing something else, and most of the time the food can take like almost an hour to come out. I do remember asking one of the servers how many cooks were in the kitchen on a night that was pretty much a full house and he said 2.. Only 2 cooks on a packed night!? With like only 3 servers walking around!? That is insane. I do notice new faces like every other visit, that tells me people are constantly being hired and fired or quitting. I'm not sure whats going on internally, but I would imagine customers would have a better experience and want to visit more often if service and food were given on a timely manner. Overall the experience here is good, food is good, I will continue to dine here, just be aware that you may have to hunt down a server for service and food might take a while to get to you.

Late Friday after dinner visit -- we were here after our dinner at Shabuya for drinks and desserts. It has been awhile since I have been back to this place, we used to live nearby and walk to this restaurant for lunch, macarons or just dinner. It's a nice place to hang out with friends and family. I am not sure if the upstairs was open when we came but that was a good place for brunch or lunch, back then it was quite dark but maybe that's romantic for some people. Anyway back to my recent visit - we went as a group of 5 but we asked to be seated separately so us girls can have our own little talk. Got here past 10pm and more friends showed up so we ended up closing the place at 2am. Our servers were nice and were pretty cool with us not ordering food - we told them we already ate so me and the girls shared tiramisu (very good) and we each ordered hot teas. The men had their table so they ordered drinks and truffle fries. After we finished up our dessert and we realized we are staying longer we also had mojitos and the truffle fries. So this place is good for hanging out late - I didn't feel rushed while we were there. I deducted a star because well the mojito was weak and the teas were just your regular tea bag (taste wise) it wasn't served with a tea bag but it tastes like it.

Caffe Concerto in Ktown LA is a great spot. I loved their pasta and desserts--everything was delicious! The atmosphere is perfect for hanging out with friends. Servers were friendly too. Definitely recommend checking it out.

This place is cute. In the heart of Korea Town. Top Dish to try is their Kimchi Pasta. Full of flavor. Mouth drooling as I'm leaving this review. Parking: Street + Valet Parking.

Great service and nice desert! Our waiter Denton was so funny and witty. Had a blast here!!

Concerto has the best pasta deals in the city! Why it took me so long to get to this walkable Italian Korean fusion place is beyond me. I'm glad I finally did though. I must admit when we walked in it was a bit confusing, no one greeted us and we had no idea where to go so walked upstairs...which wasn't right. And then we had to walk back down the stairs in a walk of shame. Once we were seated, everything was great. I appreciated they didn't want to disturb our conversations but it took ages to get our check. Overall, service was nice but a little off. That being said, our pastas were both tasty. We enjoyed the Basil Pesto Cream Pasta and also the Bulgogi Spaghetti, which would be better if it had just a little more creaminess to it. Overall though, great pastas, big portions for food prices.

The food we ordered was a great variety. The combo pizza was really tasty. Thin style pizza was the perfect compliment to the pasta dishes we ordered. The four of us got two pasta dishes, couple of appetizers and one pizza was the perfect amount. We chose this place due to the brunch menu but it was very limited so we didn't order from that menu. Also, they advertised all you can drink mimosas but they were no longer doing it. The service was the downside of the restaurant. Not sure if they were understaffed but on our floor there was only one other table. Once we ordered, they didn't come back until the food was brought. And once the food was brought, we were not checked on again. A couple people from our party came late and they didn't bring them water for about 15 minutes. The restaurant decoration made you feel you were in another country. Not sure if it was the stand up ac units but it did feel different.

I would give this place 2.5 star if I can. I've been here a couple times. But didn't eat here but I got eat there food this time. It's great places for eat and drink coffee with friends. Only one waitress working during the day so it was a bit slow but food came out fast. Welcome bread was not good but it's not bad. Bulgogi fried rice(2/5). Lobster pasta(3/5)- I didn't understand why so popular on this menu. Probably it's nice whole lobster came out. Grilled squid salad& grilled octopus salad(4/5)- the salad sauce tasted amazing but squid and octopus was over cooked. Great interior and romantic place. Can seat outside of terrace when is not cold.

Great place to chill! Drinks are delicious and food was great. I recommend vanilla latte. Service was awasome too. If you're looking some place quiet and cozy, this is the place.

I used to enjoy this place but the last few visits left me really underwhelmed. Here's my two cents... 1. Parking is a b...... 2. The establishment is cute during the day and can be romantic at nights 3. They changed up the menu and now the food is just okay. The salmon salad was my go until they got rid of it. I've tried other salads and it was just okay. 4. They have decent coffee. 5. What happened to their desserts??? One of the times, they didn't have ANY macrons and that this what they are known for. I ended up getting other desserts which were old and stale. It was very disappointing... I work across the street and my office orders lunch from here periodically. However, every time we order something seems to be off or missing. Also, the wait seems to get longer and longer. I don't know what is going on, but I hope they figure it out soon.

I came here for a quick glass of wine with my friend. The tables were almost full of guests even if it was a late night like 11:30 pm. I guess it's because the waiter, Mr. Denton, was super friendly and amazing and the Christmas atmosphere was so beautiful. Also, we ordered Kimchi fries rice which I loved. The kimchi fried rice was not too sweet or greasy, so it was as delicious as the original taste. My friend and I liked the house red wine as well. We will definitely come back for Christmas season and the holiday party. We loved the good service and the food. Now, I regret that I didn't take good pictures of the restaurant.

Thank you for Amazing Service from manager!! Great atmosphere!! I love a piece of blueberry cake!!

A Ktown classic. I usually come here for the macarons and lavender milk tea but the food here never disappoints either. Pictured: latte and iced latte, focaccia for the table, truffle fries (extra crispy), cobb salad with chicken, hamburg steak.

I've come here many times before, but I had forgotten to add reviews. Their Gorgonzola pizzas are really good, and I especially like their cakes and affogato! This is one of the better cafes with pretty lighting and ambiance too.

This place is SOOOOOOOOO AMAZING!! food is so~~~~~good!! Also staff is so kind. So good vice Plz try this place!!

When I came back after a long time, many things had changed. The atmosphere had improved and the manager was very kind, so we felt very good. We sat on the covered ferry and the warm atmosphere was nice. We had strawberry cake and peach tea and it was delicious. The pasta looked delicious too. I should try the food next time. Very good place Mr. Denton . He is very very funny!!!!!

A fusion Korean restaurant in K-Town! I ordered a variety of dishes and desserts, but my favorite was the Truffle Pizza. The blueberry macarons were also delicious. Definitely try them after your meal! The staff was friendly and the prices were more affordable than I expected. I will definitely be coming back!

Atmosphere is really comfortable, coffee was delicious, pasta and pizza were good. You can easily find a street parking.

My first time here was dinner with a huge group. We took up half of the outdoor patio area. I'm not a fan of these long table set ups because it's hard to interact with people on the other side. Of course we had a reservation for our big group. Outside of having a large group, I do not think reservations are needed. The menu is quite extensive for a cafe. They seemed to have Asian/Italian fusion, like kimchi fried rice and seafood nasigoreng. The lobster pasta $30 sounded really good, but my eating partners who ordered it said it was just ok. The lobster wasn't very fresh I guess. I had the margherita pizza, which got cold real fast. It didn't taste as good so I had leftovers. I also tried the tomahawk pork cutlet, which ended up being too sweet for me. It was like a ketchup sauce that I did not appreciate on a pork cutlet. The tangy coleslaw that came with it helped the sauce go down. I've heard they have very good desserts and apparently there is an upstairs to this place, so those would be reasons for me to come back! The women restroom is inside past the bar. The men restroom is in the indoor dining area. Parking in Koreatown is hard to find. There are metered street spots (free after 6 PM) nearby. There is a parking structure just next door, but they do close around 5/6 PM.

Food - 3.5/5 - The food is decent but I wasn't exactly impressed. We ordered the Mentaiko pasta and the eggs Benedict to share. I asked for no bell pepper but it still came with some so I put it to the side. The eggs on the eggs Benedict were a bit overcooked so the yolk was more jammy than runny the way a poached egg normally is. The pasta was good, though the sauce was a bit runny. Price - $$+0.5$ - It is a bit on the pricier side for a cafe but it's due to what they serve, although with the quality, I'm not sure the price point marches. Service - 3/5 - The servers were kind but a bit inattentive to those outside. I'm not sure if they were just understaffed, but it took about 15-20 mins after we asked for things like more water or an extra fork to arrive. Ambiance - 5/5 - The decor and aesthetic of the café is very pretty. The interior and the patio seating are decorated very well and can definitely impress friends or a date. Location - 1/5 - TINY private lot to park in. __________ **Note: Location rating does not affect yelp review, this is just for informative purposes of other patrons only.

Got the hamburger steak and an iced latte. The steak paired with the sauce was creamy savory and slightly tangy. We got the truffle fries as well, and pro tip: ask for them extra crispy) they were so crunchy and not too oily. The rice was a little bit on the harder and drier end but I wasn't expecting anything that would blow my mind. Definitely a solid place to stop by to catch up with friends or grab a quick lunch. Food: 7.5/10 Service: 8/10 Ambience: 7.5/10 (sun was glaring at us through the windows outside)

We were there to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I love the ambiance, service and high quality of food . The sweet pumpkin salad is delicious and we also ordered pizza tonight, kimchi carbonara and filet mignon. Carbonara is a bit too rich for me , but I love the salad and the steak . We all enjoyed the mixed berry cake and macaroons; the dessert was presented beautifully for my birthday girl. It truly was a memorable evening and will definitely return to try other dishes .

This place So good~!! The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is great. I love it so much that I want to come here often. Friendly manager~service best~ so funny

Had an amazing dinner last night with a friend & highly recommend saving room for dessert. We ordered 4 dishes & 2 desserts. Service you had to flag down but you also were not encouraged to leave & they stay open until 2 am on Fridays. I would recommend bringing a thick jacket if you're sitting in the enclosed patio since it is very cold at night and at least $5 for valet parking.

Caffe concerto is not what it used to be. I used to come here years ago for coffee and dessert but it looks like the place is running down. We went for dinner but they didn't have ingredients for mentaiko pasta. No bartender so no cocktails. It was very disappointing. We only went to get their mentaiko pasta and that's what they're known for. I don't get how they could not have the ingredients for it. It looks like they are short staffed. One server was very apologetic and on top of it but our food took almost 30min and no one came by once we got our food. It seems a little hectic and not under control.

Found this place serendipitously. It's in the heart of Cape Town, but hidden away from everything else. The food is Korean and Italian fusion and it tastes marvelous. I highly recommend the carbonara alongside paired with the squid salad. 10/10 service. The manager is soooooo nice and funny. Super accommodating.

Ever since I moved out of K town, I haven't visited this place for the longest time and I am glad I made it today! The food was as usual great and the lobster spaghetti was so delicious. Service was great and since it was 90 degrees outside we went upstairs but it had some funny smell and the music was too loud we had to speak loudly to understand each other.

This patio part is so cute and cozy We ordered pasta and some drinks. Our server Denton was super funny and friendly. Highly recommend here if u want to experience cool lounge vibe in K town

A friend of mine recommended us to try this place and I am glad I took her up on it. The food was good and the service was ok since there was a big party upstairs they needed to serve. Our waiter was nice and tried to be helpful since it was his first day on the job. Food: 5/5 Dessert: 4/5 only because their macarons tasted stale to me Service: 4/5 Ambience: 5/5 they are decked out for Christmas. Great for photos. They also have patio seatings with fire pits and to my surprise, they offer blankets too. I will definitely come back again. I also recommend this place for date night.

This place has been here ever since I can remember. Such a nice sweet spot with reliably great food, as well as teas/coffee/dessert. Definitely one of the ktown classics that most locals and Koreans know about. Went here recently with friends who were from out of town. Service was great, staff was very attentive, portion sizes were generous, and the place was spacious. Would definitely recommend.

I had time with my friends late at night. Great service and so kind. Everything was comfortable and nice.

Had an absolutely amazing evening this past Sunday evening. The host Denton was nothing short of spectacular, not only was he attentive and caring for his patrons; but you could tell how much he truly cares for this place. I am excited to come back for their Brunch!!!

We visited the lounge for drinks and the staff were extremely friendly and nice. After we shared our preferred drink, they recommended a red wine from their selection alongside with a desert that goes along with the wine. The staff was thoughtful and gave me a blanket and made sure we were cozy and well served throughout our time. The overall atmosphere was very cozy and warm. Great place to stop by for a good chat with a friend :)

I had a late night tea time here with my girlfriends. The coffee and cake were so delicious and the servers were friendly and kind, so we had a great time. I will definitely come back with my kids.
