"Madeo was a legendary restaurant known for its clubby, old-school New York feel. It closed in 2018 and moved to a new location on Sunset Boulevard. The original space has been redeveloped into a luxury condominium tower." - Matthew Kang
"Time Out food critic Patricia Kelly Yeo doesn’t hold back her disdain for Madeo in her latest critique, calling the West Hollywood restaurant 'one of the worst Italian restaurants at its extravagant price point — and a generally mediocre one overall.' With regard to ambiance and service, Yeo says 'the pretentious atmosphere at Madeo falls somewhere between mildly anachronistic and downright geriatric.'" - Cathy Chaplin
"The decades-old Madeo has had a transient few years, moving from Beverly Boulevard to Beverly Hills proper, and then disappearing altogether to go run an overseas holiday pop-up. Now the Vietina family is firmly putting down roots inside the upscale 1 Hotel on the Sunset Strip, meaning sweeping views, those celebrity-famous pasta dishes, and the usual amount of class, service, and fine wine." - Matthew Kang
"Madeo is an upscale Italian restaurant owned by the Vietina family, known for serving pasta to wealthy customers. After losing its address in 2018, it is set to return this spring at the 1 Hotel on the Sunset Strip with a modern and breezy feel, featuring a white tablecloth dining area, a bar, and a patio overlooking the city." - Farley Elliott
"Madeo is a legendary upscale Italian restaurant with a rabid celebrity following, including names like Sylvester Stallone and Drake. The Vietina family behind Madeo announced last summer that they would not be returning to their original home on Beverly after the building was remodeled." - Farley Elliott
