Radici

The gnocchi is delicious. Ever since I had it the first time, I crave it often. The eggplant appetizer is such a comfort food my family loves. Their craft drinks are great and I especially enjoy my Negroni. The atmosphere is romantic and modern with old family photos of the Radici family. Radici has become my home away from home when it comes to eating authentic Italian food.

Great food and service! Every dish is made with love!

We went there for Mother's day. We were greeted upon arrival and sat right away to an ocean view, awesome. We were never rushed to order amd our server checked in with us regularly to see if he could do more for us. Our meal was served in a timely manner. I had the Fettuccine with lamb ragu. It was delicious and highly recommended by me. The owner was also circulating during our meal and also asked us if everything was OK and if there was anything more they could do for us. She was very pleasant and visible throughout our stay. At the end of our meal we were asked if we wanted dessert, we declined. We received our bill, all was correct , we paid, and left very happy. 💕👏😋

The pastas are spectacular!!! We had the pappardelle bolognese and fettuccine with guanciale - both were perfect, we can't decide which we liked best. The calamari fritti were delicate and crunchy. Tried arancini for the first time and I am obsessed.

This place is an absolute gem! The family and staff that run the restaurant are authentic, genuine, and incredibly talented. The food is unbelievable, and the hospitality is unmatched. We had a salad, lasagna, bolognese, and tiramisu. We also had a great wine and the best Whiskey Sour we could find in town. We were in Hermosa for a long weekend and decided to try this restaurant after reading multiple great reviews. I’m so glad we did, and we cannot wait to go back.

“I have eaten at Radici several times. From the chic ambiance,to the attentive wait-staff to the entree plate presentations—WOW! I learned that Radici is Italian family owned using generational recipes. The savory flavors and seasonings they use means they never have to drown their food in cheese and tomato sauces. Made from scratch daily special orders and requests are possible The gnocchi and the lamb will put a smile on your face and make for a happy tummy. Go now to Radici before they have a 6 month wait list for reservations!!” Signed Uncle D, Pasadena

My lamb chops were under seasoned, and the potatoes on the side were cold and also under seasoned. The fettuccini dish was bland overall. Spent almost $200 and it was no where close to the best food I’ve had.

Sooo yummy! The cocktails were so amazing. Also a huge wine selection! I cannot wait to go back. Had the two vegetarian dishes- ravioli and Gorgonzola gnocchi!

Amazing place. Venue: classy, well decorated and perfect location. People: awesome service. Friendly and helpful. Food: pasta is perfectly al dente. Not stuck together or mushy. Perfect balance to pick up all the tomato sauce. Umami is very forward and perfect balance of acidity and salt. Holy cow.. best Italian in LA. Better than Bestia . But menu is not as expansive. And there's no pizza. The arancini was creamy, crunchy and light. That's very difficult to execute. Wine list has interesting: Italians with reasonable prices. I'm shocked at how well done this place is!! I'm coming back. We had 1 appetizer, 1 salad, 2 pastas, 1 wine each and 1 dessert. 23% tip and the bill was $200. Great great place. Thank you. My only concern is this place will get too busy!! A MUST TRY! Bon appetit

A table I'd long hoped to claim, By candlelight, Radici lived up to its name. Burrata like silk, with richness to spare, And ragù clung to fettuccine with care. The corkage, a kindness; the coffee, a kiss-- Affogato to close in a moment of bliss. Four stars tonight, but I'm bound to explore-- For next time, Radici might earn one more.

We did a corporate dinner here! Food was very delicious and the service was very good. Pizzas were yummy All of the pastas and chicken Parmesan was so so delicious!

Recently had a dinner here with a small group. The restaurant itself is nicely designed, feels newer and is pretty spacious compared to other beach city areas. Everyone that we interacted was friendly. Unfortunately they are pretty strict with their menu selections - no substitutions or protein add ons to salads. This was tough for us as someone in our group had dietary needs and the server wasn't able to answer questions about ingredients etc. Dinner tasted okay... a little bland. I enjoyed the appetizers the most. I liked the calamari and garlic bread. The salad was also good.

Downtown Hermosa has a lot of cute, good restaurants so we were excited to try this place. When you step inside, there's a bar, hangout area on your left and the sit down area on your right.we ordered their fito misto, garlic loaf, beets salad, truffle pasta, pasta with calamari, pappardelle alla bolognese and braised lamb over gnocchi. Their foods were just okay- i think their garlic loaf was the best thing that we ordered. This is a restaurant with nice vibes to hangout with people but for the food, you can get better italian foods elsewhere

Loved the peach appetizer--fresh and flavorful. The brisket pasta was rich and satisfying, and the lemon drops were easily some of the best I've had. Great food, solid drinks, and a nice overall vibe. Would definitely come back.

I love this high end Italian place ,most beach towns normally dont have high end restaurants because they already have there attraction the ocean,but all the times I've been here ive have been good taste ,good service ,and last time I here I saw a celebrity former nba star

Service amazing!! Food fabulous!! I love owner and her mother. They treat you like family. We will definitely be coming here often. Ambiance was so classy!!

Dined at Radici for the first-time last week for a 20-person company dinner. Had two types of bruschetta, two types of pasta, steak, and salmon. Pasta is house-made and perfectly al dente. Sauces did not overwhelm the pasta. Steak and salmon were both delicious and of good quality. Ambience was great- perfect for a date night. Service was solid. Cocktails were elevated (try the Espresso Martini made with NEFT Vodka- so smooth!). Dining room is roomy enough to accommodate large parties. Had a chance to chat with Laura, the wonderful proprietress of Radici. What a lovely woman...and so passionate about the wine and food she serves. She introduced me to one of her chefs after I complimented the food. Had me feeling like a regular. Can't wait to take the missus in for what I know will be another top-notch Italian dinner. I only wish I had dined at this lovely place sooner. Bon Appétit!

Their garlic bread.. their bolognese... and their calamari with a side of an orange martini... all so delicious! First time dining and it was a pleasant experience! We had reservations as they opened for dinner and it was perfect! We sat next to the window and felt the ocean breeze during dinner- I was in heaven! My friends had their truffle pasta and their steak options and they were both satisfied with everything. Service was great and they surprised me with a birthday sorbet with a large candle which was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is on the second floor and has a beautiful ambience throughout. Our server and the owner were very warm, friendly, and attentive. I would definitely return to try the rest of their menu items!

I've been here a few times, and it's missed the mark every time. The service is quite lacking... The first time I came here, we sat for almost a half an hour before even being brought water. The food is subpar compared to other local Italian spots, despite the stories of their recipes being these home recipes made from scratch in their family's kitchens. The last time I was here was for my mom's birthday, and the service was again pretty terrible... The next table over had two ladies eating, and one of them puts her phone on speakerphone at full volume and has a loud conversation for almost 15 minutes straight, which was super disruptive to everyone around, and the staff did nothing about it. It's a nice looking place, but that's pretty much where it ends. I won't be back, there are far better options in the area.

Delicious! I've had my eye on this restaurant for years and have been following them on social media. Finally visited ti celebrate my birthday. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. I'm not sure if they make their own bread but the garlic bread appetizer melted in our mouths. I had the chicken parmigiana with a side of spaghetti and the pasta was prepared so simply but it was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and the wait staff was very attentive.

Found a gem in the South Bay! Radici had an authentic and cozy feel with great atmosphere, views and was beautifully decorated. I ordered the spaghetti pomadorro and it was light, fresh, packed with flavor and portioned perfectly. Planning to return next week to try the risotto. Their commitment to personalized service spoke volumes. Delighted to have a new fave Italian restaurant nearby. Well done Radici!

Had lunch at Radici for Mother's Day. Food was delicious! Ambience was serene, truly enjoyable!

I host my family thanksgiving dinner every year for the past 30 years. Since our family as grown up to 22 now I was in search of a venue to host us. Laura, Giorgio and staff made us feel like we were family! From opening the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon to allow for a private lunch since the restaurant didn't open until 5pm, customized a menu and several calls and emails to ensure the day was perfect! The table was amazing! My family was impressed by the food and room!! Epic pizza, pasta and short ribs with shrimp! Four courses! The room was decorated elegant with beautiful lighting. I would recommend Radici for your next intimate event!!

reviews. "Ever since attending school in a small university town in Italy, I have been on the hunt for a dish I fell in love with, and ate almost nightly, Gnocchi Gorgonzola. In my over 2O year search for a dish that brings me the same joy I once experienced only in Italy, I finally found it at Radici. Their Gnocchi is made with a slightly lighter cheese, but the taste brings me back to a VERY joyful period in my life. My husband and I return to Radici often. Needless to say, while he has tried and loved a variety of dishes, I always order my favorite Gnocchi. I do add the meatballs as well. Service and food are top notch."

We came in on a Friday night no reservation. We had high hopes for this place, the ambiance & service was nice. The food however was very bland. It didn't seem like much effort was put into any dish. The bread appetizer we ordered was cold in the middle, as if they just didn't properly heat it up. The manicotti & pappardelle lacked any type of real flavor. * The online menu & menu outside their restaurant isn't accurate. They didn't have quite a bit of the items on the menu we were provided. 2.5 stars out of 5 in our opinion. Maybe it was an off night.

Amazing restaurant! The ambiance is great and the restaurant is very well designed. The food is incredible--old school Italian, home made from scratch. The executive chef hand pounds the veal. The pasta is made fresh. Service is impeccable and the drinks are tasty! Highly recommend veal piccata, bolognese. The arugula salad is refreshing. The garlic loaf is to die for. Advise calling restaurant to gain access to basement parking. This is our new favorite Italian restaurant. Good for special events too.

Still great!!! The freshest ingredients. Homemade sauce starting with beautiful tomatoes. It never disappoints! And when you're here, don't forget to get the garlic bread. It will change your life.

"Having eaten at Radici several times I feel a Michelin star is in their future. From the chic ambiance,to the attentive wait-staff to the entree plate presentations--WOW! I learned that Radici is Italian family owned using generational recipes. The savory flavors and seasonings they use means they never have to drown their food in cheese and tomato sauces. Made from scratch daily special orders and requests are possible The gnocchi and the lamb will put a smile on your face and make for a happy tummy. Go now to Radici before they have a 6 month wait list for reservations!!" Signed Uncle D, Pasadena

I cannot imagine anyone giving this restaurant less than 5 stars. The ambiance is perfect for a lovely date night or out with friends. Music is enjoyable without being so loud that you cannot talk to anyone. My husband and I had the brusetta and ricotta dish for an starters and we both thought it was outstanding. My salmon literally melted in my mouth with unique flavors that I savored with every bite. The owner is a warm, inviting woman who loves to chat with her customers. She loves what she does and truly wants you to have an enjoyable evening. She makes you feel like family. This is a restaurant that we will continue to go back to.

Excellent experience at Radici. Our waiter, Sean, was amazing. He made great recommendations for food and wine and provided lots of information about the various entrees. Ambiance was great and we really appreciate how the owner came by to check on our experience. The food was great and the 4 of us all enjoyed the evening. Definitely going back soon.

So good! It's hard for me to pick some of my favorite dishes because they were all so so good. But if I had to name a few: Burrata, Arancini, Truffle Fettuccine,  Papparedelle Bolognese, Tiramisu and Panna Cotta. Something to note, they do have a few "off the menu" items that you can ask them about. One being their famous espresso martini, which was my favorite and a close second is their Almafi cocktail! I recommend coming early for a happy hour cocktail in the bar, then getting a seat by the window for sunset. If you come after sunset the ambiance is very romantic and beautiful anywhere you sit. The perfect date night spot or special night out with friends or family. I can't wait to come back!

WOW!!! I attended their wine pairing dinner last week and O M G it was an amazing experience! The food the wine the vibes even the sense of community I couldn't stop doing this with my hands the whole time. It's $110 for a 4 course meal, plenty of wine, teachings from a sommelier in an intimate setting, and an all around a good time. You can really sense the passion from the chef and staff at Radici (love Laura and Giorgio). I know they only do the wine dinners x2/month & there's limited seats so if you're able to book it, highly recommend!!!

I had reservations booked on OpenTable at this place for my birthday tonight. I initially was excited to eat here. I walked in with my childhood best friend and we got immediately bad vibes from the host. The place was like dead inside and due to weather we asked about changing to a table inside. She immediately freaked out clutching her iPad like this request messed up the entire system. (Mind you later we ended up leaving and it still was half dead). She told us that she could not seat us at four top because we were two people. We looked at the sea of empty tables and asked if she could make an exception because it was my birthday and it was cold for my friend. She huffed and got a waiter to seat us. We are easygoing people but we at least expected a happy birthday or general friendly demeanor. Now, let's get to the waiter service and food. We decided to ignore the rude host and try to make the most of the meal. They definitely have not updated the photos or the food or the menu because the majority of items we looked up initially were not available. One of the items the waiter mentioned they have not had since COVID. Really? We are in 2025. We again chose to stay positive and order what they did have. For drinks, I got a lemon spritz which was heavily watered down with ice. My friend asked about coffee drinks specifically mentioning he did not drink alcohol and he was suggested an espresso martini. He was patient and asked then for just the espresso. Come to find out later at the end of our meal they had latte based drinks available that were never suggested. For food, I ordered the spaghetti bolognese and my friend ordered the gnocchi. The quantity of my bolognese was not only small but the sauce was not think or characteristic of good bolognese at all. The waiter offered parmesean cheese that was either pre-grated or reminiscent of kraft in a little ramekin. You would think for a classy place they would hand grate the cheese table side. My friend mentioned his gnocchi tasted fine but said he has had better. Overall, we were extremely underwhelmed with everything. The food was overpriced, small portion, and poor quality and the service was non-existent. Also, for mentioning ny birthday, you would think they would offer a small scoop of gelato or at least genuinely say happy birthday. Nope. Highly do not recommend.

Six of us had dinner here recently. For starters we had: Arancini Ragu - pretty good Calamari Fritti - not bad Burrata Caprese - very good Then for dinner entrees, we had Fettuccini al'Guanciale, Pappardelle Bolognese, Lamb Shank and Chicken Parmigiana. All of them were reasonably good. But none of them were "wow - I want to order THAT again." Portions were on the smaller side. Service was fine. Overall, we enjoyed the dinner. But with so many choices in the area, we probably would not rush back soon.

I wanted to up date my review because I hosted a work party for 64 people on 12/10/2024. With the help of the chef/owners, I was able to have an unbelievable tasty elegant dinner and was allowed to have a multi course meal. I got to pick 2 appetizers, 2 different pastas for the primi, 2 different courses for the secundi and a dessert. I opted for the arancini, bruschetta and the restaurant threw in a brisket with crema on top of toasted bread. Everyone raved about the arancini and the brisket. For the pasta, I opted for the gnocchi with marinara and a ravioli in brown butter sauce. For the mains, shrimp with a lemon sauce and an Italian stew on top of polenta. Again, everyone raved about the mains and finally tiramisu for dessert which was grandma's recipe made by the granddaughter. The restaurant also selected wine that were perfect for the food. All I can say is Grazie! Highly recommend this place for an elegant meal as well as any large function. You won't be disappointed.

They made our Mother's Day lunch so special with flowers at the table and some tasty sweet champagne. The service was top notch and quick with the owner stopping by to say hello. I loved the lasagna which is a Sundays only special. The two vegetarians of the group raved about the beet salad they ate. My mother enjoyed her ravioli which was the perfect amount and a nice taste. We were seated by the window which overlooks Hermosa and the a little bit of the beach, so a nice ambiance. The menu is not large, but that is because they make everything with such care and a family restaurant attitude. Parking can be a pain as you need to get buzzed into the parking below or struggle to find parking on the crowded Hermosa Beach streets, but it is worth it!

This place is a hidden gem in Hermosa, the food and the ambience are top tier. Everyone is knowledgeable about the food and wine, and of course the service was impeccable. We were warmly greeted upon walking by Ariane, and promptly seated. The food is homemade, and fresh ingredients can not be topped! The wine immaculate! I can go on and on, please try it for yourself you will not be disappointed! Special shout out to Laura and the Manager Gio! We will definitely be back amazing service! P.S. try the the homemade Gnocchi *chef's kiss*

Bland overpriced food with indifferent service. We dined there with friends earlier this evening, and although the atmosphere was nice, everything else about the experience was very disappointing. Cocktails were not great, the smoked old fashioned had to be returned as it tasted entirely of liquid smoke. We were told we needed to order everything all at one time, but the bread lagged by quite a bit. Bolognese was watery and mostly flavorless. For an establishment with this pricing, we expected a much better experience.

I cannot say enough fabulous things about Radici. From the moment we walked in we were greeted not just like regulars but like family. The bartender Fuerty (sp?) was beyond accommodating, talented, knowledgeable and informative. The food matched the drinks quality aka it was insanely drool-worthy. The vibe lends itself to both date night AND friends gathering for happy hour. There's no way anyone can come here and not give more than 5 stars! We will now be regulars at the bar.

Beautiful restaurant with excellent service. The food was divine. Our party of four dined on: Starters: meatballs and sauce, eggplant. Insalata: burrata and tomatoes, arugula with pears and feta (or was it blue cheese or goat cheese?). I enjoyed my pollo parmigiana. My husband had bolognese. His friend had veal and I don't recall the duchess his wife ordered. We ALL. loved our food.

I was really impressed with the food here. I figured it would be good, but it was exceptional ... all of it. We liked everything they brought us ... like licking plates. There were four of us, and we all loved our meals. We had 2 salads (beet salad and gem salad) and the bread to start. Entrees were chicken parm, eggplant parm and a risotto. It was all so good ... I LOVED the side pasta that came with the eggplant (which was super simple, but so great). Desserts were delicious too (tiramisu and vanilla gelato affogato). I have thought about this meal a lot since I was there, and will definitely be back. New favorite in HB.

This restaurant features a formal reception and maintains a solemn atmosphere. On Mother's Day, they made it a point to entertain guests with complimentary drinks. I highly recommend the homemade pasta; the dishes were delicious. Note that seating is not allowed until all members of the party have arrived. Given the crowded parking situation at Hermosa Beach, it might be wise to gather a bit earlier if you're coming in a large group.

The best restaurant in the South Bay - beautiful food, elegant atmosphere, delightful owners and staff

I have been to Radici many times before, not this was by far the best experience I have ever had! It was also the first time I sat at the bar. Our bartender was a wonder to behold! He made some of the most delicious craft cocktails I have ever had! His attentiveness and service were over the top! His food recommendations were amazing too, we got the Arancini and it was so delicious I'm still thinking about it the next day. The garlic bread loaf got better with every bite! The caprese salad had the most flavorful heirloom tomatoes I have ever had! And the ambiance was softly lit and intimate. I absolutely can't wait to repeat this experience.

Let me first say that we have not had a great Italian meal since we last visited Italy. Our party of five ordered various dishes and everything was fresh, authentic and delicious. Laura the owner was great and checked on us often. Her mother Lucia is an absolute gem. She is the previous owner and still cooks and trains the chefs. All of her food was amazing. Our appetizer was the pizza and I could have eaten the whole thing myself. It was so good. My main dish was the Linguine and clams and it did not disappoint. The desserts were also amazing, especially the Tiramisu and Panicotta. The ambiance was great with soft music and our server was knowledge about each dish. Parking is on the street or the parking structure close by. This is a family owned restaurant and it shows that great care and pride goes into every dish. Well done!

Great food and service. Beautiful ambiance and easy access to get to. Enjoyed a great bday dinner with friends.

Ambiance was nice and quiet we had just landed and made it before closing! We were glad they were nice enough to take us in so late. The food is certainly marvelous! I can't tell you the secrets of this restaurant because it's between I and Hasan. There is nothing simple about Radici! Absolutely Perfect 7x

Horrible experience. Came for happy hour. NO ACTUAL MENU. Bartender went over a few items ordered Pizza and the bread. Bartender made us drinks and never saw him again. Pizza came out cold ridiculously small for $12 bread was cold and dried out. Drinks were just ok. Tried to get check for several minutes while Bartender in deep conversation with a server. Finally had to interrupt their convo to get acknowledged. Bad service even worse food and aweful value for the money. Wont be back

Excellent food, excellent service, I would've given this five stars, but I wish the menu were a little bit more extensive or varied.

Cute hidden restaurant on restaurant row in Hermosa beach. We walked into the Colombian restaurant downstairs at first and they directed us upstairs. The server who handled the outside terrace and bar was very personable. Everything was homemade, to the limoncello spritz. We got the caprese, wagyu meatballs, calamari, baked eggplant, papperdelle and truffle fettuccine, everything was delicious. Will definitely be back so glad we found this hidden South Bay gem.

Food was amazing! Our waitress, Arianna, was incredibly friendly and attentive. She made excellent recommendations, ensuring our drinks were always topped up and that we had everything we needed made us feel welcome and at ease. Her positive energy and excellent service made the meal even more enjoyable, and I truly appreciated her attentiveness throughout our visit.I'll definitely be back, and I'll be sure to request her section next time!

I have been meaning to do a review for some time.... We have not gone back due to our last experience. We used to dine here frequently, especially during pandemic time. Our last experience was bad.... We took our mother in law and the food is great but their portions are waaaay too small and very high priced! I ordered their pasta dish with seafood. The portion was literally handful of bits. When I mentioned how small it was and barely any pasta, they took it back and brought my dish back and their response was " this is the right portion, we weighed it." Well.., if you weigh with bunch of muscles shells you will get a heavier weight! So I asked for a side of pasta since it wouldn't be enough to eat. They charged me $20 for a side of pasta! WTF?!?? This restaurant has a distorted view of charges to their customers. This restaurant is Ridiculous! Our whole family has boycott this place. Bad customer service. I would not recommend.

First off I'll start with what's good- the atmosphere is amazing. It's a great date location. The food was just okay though. $18 for 4 small costing bruschetta's that were so average. For dinner we get the beef bolognese which on its own I'd give a 4 if it weren't for the other dishes. Very basic just ground meat sauce and noodles but good! My husbands dish and the bruschetta dragged the stars down. He got the special salmon Alfredo w capers. It was gross. $30 for a salmon dish you expect a salmon filet on top but it was a very small amount of pieces of salmon mixed in already and the whole dish was fishy and gross. Alfredo even wasn't that good it was kinda flavorless. Anyways it gets a 3 because I still might go back for a glass of wine or cocktail as like a date spot. Maybe just to split an appetizer before heading somewhere better for dinner.

Went here for the first time last night and WOW! We were absolutely blown away. This was the best, most authentic Italian food we've had outside of Italy. Our party of five ordered the pizza appetizer, the linguine, chicken parmigiana, shrimp dish, and the bolognese, as well as every dessert item on the menu. Everything was absolutely delicious. I am allergic to dairy, and the staff took extra care to make sure my food was safe. Radici can be easy to miss as it is tucked behind and upstairs from Encanto, but it truly a hidden gem. It is so beautifully decorated and we were able to converse easily over the soft music. Hermosa parking can be a little tough, but there's usually a spot on the street or on a lot close by. This is a family owned restaurant, and we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Laura, and her mother, Lucia. Lucia helps cook and train the chefs (when she is in town), and she made multiple trips to our table to check on the quality of the food and chat with us. Laura was so kind and spent quite a bit of time talking with us, as well. You can definitely feel the care they have for the restaurant and all of their patrons. We will be bringing everyone we know here!

This place is really an amazing find. Everything we ordered from the appetizers to dessert was delicious. Each pasta dish blew us away, but the gnocchi stood out for me personally. The workers were very sweet and the service was perfect with the timing of each dish. I can't wait to come back.

Service was very Good. Parking somewhat hard for the area. Food tasted excellent. Presentation excellent. Value very good. Ambiance very nice. Would go back again, even though it's 35 miles away from Glendale.

This is based solely on a recent take out order. Hostess is great, excellent service provided by her. As far as food, I have been craving linguini frutti di mare for some time. When I read the menu it stated exactly what I wanted. I was very disappointed when I got home to see that there were no mussels in the dish and instead was replaced by a few bits of salmon (which doesn't even go with frutti di mare). There were 2 shrimp and a couple clams and calamari. Also, the pasta was old, probably from the day before. Overall, this dish was not good, especially for $37. I ordered the bruschetta as well and that was ok, bread was soft and not many tomatoes at all. The place is beautiful and I wanted to go back and dine in. Not sure now if I will give it a second chance, absolutely overpriced for the quality of food I got.
