"A few things you’ll need before lunch at Gucci Osteria: a corporate card, “smart casual dress attire,” and an emerald pinky ring to show off as you sip a Gucci-branded espresso. The gaudy Italian rooftop would be the ideal choice to woo an out-of-town client because it makes LA look like a movie. Lunch comes with palm tree-lined views Rodeo Drive, fantastic service, and nice food that appears more interesting than it tastes. You’ll eat panko-crusted cod “milanese” hiding a bold punch of ginger and an abstract art-like risotto “camouflaged as a pizza” and hopefully walk away with a deal after three glasses of prosecco." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"One star. Chef Massimo Bottura’s outpost of Gucci Osteria in Beverly Hills serves creative takes on pasta and other Italian fare at sky-high prices in a swanky setting." - Eater Staff
"Chef Massimo Bottura has put the talented Mattia Agazzi in charge of this kitchen housed within the Gucci boutique on Rodeo Drive, and the results are very impressive indeed. This is cooking that is at once whimsical and grounded. Seafood salad arrives perfectly warm and tender, dressed with lemon, olive oil and shaved radish; while risotto is camouflaged as pizza with tomato, stracciatella and burnt caper dust evoking the taste of a charred crust. Thumb-sized tortellini, filled with the classic mortadella, veal and prosciutto mixture, sits pretty in a glossy pool of Parmigiano Reggiano-enriched sauce.The meal ends with a concise choice of desserts, including the colorfully named "A Bunch of Flowers," with a scoop of chamomile ice cream on green apple sauce with candied lemon peel." - Michelin Inspector
"Massimo Bottura’s Michelin-starred restaurant could be the most stylish in Los Angeles, with staff decked out in Gucci sneakers, suits, and apparel from head to toe. The fashion sensibilities on the table are impressive too, including polished pasta, inventive Italian fare, and excellent wine pairings. In addition to the style, Gucci Osteria may have the best service anywhere in LA. Bottura’s restaurant feels a tad forgotten sometimes given its balcony perch above a flashy luxury boutique, but maybe that’s half the charm — it’s for those in the know." - Matthew Kang
"This avante-garde Italian restaurant inside the Beverly Hills Gucci store technically has a “smart casual” dress code, but expect to see tourist dads in shorts and designer sneakers. Maybe it’s the connection to a luxury brand, but bold fashion statements are common here, so don’t worry about doing too much. You might feel silly for paying this much money for whimsical Italian food on Rodeo Drive, but, hey, at least you look great doing it." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
