Unidos Restaurant & Wine Bar

Unidos is a great new addition to the neighborhood! From the moment we walked in, the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. They checked in consistently without being overbearing, making sure everything was to our liking. Atmosphere: The space is moodily lit with both table and bar seating--perfect for date night, a night out with friends, or even just stopping by for a glass of wine after work. On arrival, they bring complimentary salted nuts (and double-check for allergies first). Drinks: Their wine list is fairly robust. I went with a glass of the 2023 Domenico Clerico, Langhe Nebbiolo--smooth, bold, and very good. Food: Jamón Serrano & Manchego Pincho: You get two crostini's, each about 3-4 bites. The flavors are spot on--salty, nutty, and perfectly balanced. Patatas Bravas: Easily some of the best we've had anywhere. Super crispy, with a spicy aioli that gives just the right amount of heat. (if you like things spicy, ask them to turn it up a notch.) I wouldn't mind a slightly bigger portion, but these are a must-order. Mariscos Paella: Generous, flavorful, and loaded with seafood. The scallops and squid were perfectly tender--melt-in-your-mouth good. Easily sharable for two. Overall: Unidos is a real win for Studio City's dining scene. It's a stylish, welcoming addition to Ventura Blvd, with a staff that clearly cares about your experience. The food is excellent, the mood is right, and we're already planning our next visit to try more of the menu.

I was really excited to try Unidos after discovering them on Instagram I visited spain a couple of years ago and loved the tapas I had in Barcelona! I chose Unidos to celebrate my birthday with a close friend and made a table reservation in advance. We arrived only about 3–4 minutes late due to difficult parking (we ended up using valet). The space itself is beautiful and lively, but unfortunately the experience quickly became unpleasant. We ordered a generous amount of food charcuterie with jamón, croquetas, pan con tomate, fries, patas bravas, glasses of wine, and dessert so we weren’t lingering without ordering. However, once the food started coming out, everything felt extremely rushed. Servers repeatedly came by asking to clear plates even when there was still food on them, often just minutes after a dish was placed down, while we were actively eating. Several times, servers and our server approached the table and already had their hands on the plates while asking if they could take them away, despite visible food still on the plate and us actively eating. This happened multiple times and made it impossible to relax, talk, or enjoy the meal. Toward the end of our meal, a server came over and asked if he could take my plate while I still had patatas bravas on it and was still eating. At that point, I felt so flustered and pressured that I told him, “Don’t worry, we’re leaving right now.” That’s how rushed and unwelcome the experience had become especially disappointing during a birthday celebration. We were only there for about 1 hour and 20 minutes total, and a significant portion of that time was spent waiting for food to arrive. Despite that, we were constantly asked if we were ready for the check, which made it feel like they were trying to push us out rather than let us enjoy the meal we reserved and paid for. I understand the restaurant was busy and that people were waiting, but if there’s a strict time limit for tables, that should be communicated upfront. Repeatedly asking guests to clear plates and leave while they’re still eating comes across as rude and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, this experience was nothing like the welcoming, relaxed tapas culture I experienced in Spain. Because of how rushed and uncomfortable we felt, I won’t be returning.

I used to live in Barcelona so I was excited to check out Unidos when I heard about it opening. From the service, food and atmosphere, it was fantastic. The jamón croquetas were my personal favorite. I can’t wait to go back.

Unidos was lovely! We’ve been to Spain a bunch, and the food felt like we were transported back. Really, excellent. The wine was wonderful and the service was great. Our one note: it’s really wayyyy too loud in there. We couldn’t hear each other at our table, and I think they just really need to add some sound deadening to the room. It’s so small in there and the reflective surfaces make it so hard to hear. But otherwise we had the best time! We will definitely come back, if they fix that part and it gets quieter.

What a exceptional dinning experience! The food was delicious and unique! Everything was cooked perfectly. Fantastic selection of fine and eclectic wines at very reasonable prices! The staff was very informative on all fronts. It was a total pleasure. Thanks Unidos team see you soon!

This is a great addition to Studio City. Rene and Che, formerly of Pace in Laurel Canyon, have branched out with their very first restaurant. It's a small intimate place with dim lights and Spanish music playing. I've been twice now and the food comes up piping hot- which I LOVE! The food is delicious. Cool vibe sitting at the counter. Try the sangria! And they serve vegetarian paella! Excited to have a new place in Studio City with awesome vibe. The service staff is friendly and the menu is reasonably priced. Thanks Rene and Che! xx Cori

Wanted ceviche, and Unidos did not let me down. Fresh, flavorful, clean. The chimichurri on the side added a lovely brightness. Cocktails: really solid. Neat, creative. Service was attentive. Desserts good, though portions are on the smaller side for the price. But for ambiance + everything else, totally worth it.

A real gem in the valley. Great service, and delicious meals that took me right back to Spain. Especially loved the jamon plate, shrimps, and reserva Vermouth! Definitely worth seeking out.

What a wonderful surprise tonight became! From the moment we walked in, we knew we were at the right place. This is very quickly become Studio cities's hottest spot, and we were very lucky to find a reservation, because somebody didn't show up. What I love the most were the appetizers, explore the menu, you're gonna find surprises, there was an egg dish with potatoes in it that had a flavor that was out of this world. And who knew you could do that with mushrooms, I promise your visit will leave you wanting to leave a five star review as well. I have a funny feeling we just found our brand new favorite! I sure hope you feel the same. And I sure hope to see you sometime here, but we're all dining and enjoying a beautiful night in the city of angels.

Food is top notch and not pricey Service is fair and polite Ambiance is cozy, friendly Nice spot in the neighborhood

This place opened up about two weeks ago on Ventura so we decided to give it a try and OMG it was so good. I can't stop talking about how good the food was, especially the steak. It's listed as "carne" on the menu and it was the best steak I've had at any restaurant. Perfectly cooked, good crust on both sides, and perfectly seasoned. This is the only place I will be coming to when I'm in the mood for steak. We also had the jamón serrano & manchego, complimentary peanuts, and pan con tomate. Everything was great, but the steak was definitely the star of the show. And the Staff are all very attentive and friendly. 10/10 recommend.

Watching travel shows gush over Spanish tapas, who wouldn't want that?! Menu has authentic classics, including paella, that range from affordable small plates to substantial entrees. Service is extra warm and friendly, as is the tastefully cozy atmosphere. No complaints PATATAS BRAVAS - Perfect. Delicate flaky outside with a chili aoli that doesn't hold back. Addicting! YELLOWTAIL PINCHO - Great texture with clean, not fishy flavor. Citrus helps, but mild...maybe not bad due to subtle fish? MUSHROOM PINCHO - Bright umami balances earthiness, giving it more dynamic pop than yellowtail. LUMEN 2022 CHARDONNAY - Bartender nailed this! Big nuanced flavor without being too much. Well rounded and impressive. 5 YR AGED IMBERICO DE BELLOTA - Lives up to hype. Small serving because flavor lasts forever. Succulence of pork with deep savoriness of beef/venison. Surfing an extra long wave of flavor GRILLED OCTOPUS - I actually like when octopus has a satisfying chew, but this is extra tender without skimping on charred flavor. Crispy chorizo slices are inspired but combine with chili oil to add a lot of heat. Intense fun, so be prepared. CREAMA CATALANA - More flan than creme brule, but hits the same notes of both. Overall, they're doing for Spanish food what Spina is doing for Italian in Atwater Village.

A new gem! Cozy yet vibrant atmosphere, delicious food and excellent service. We were a group of four and we tried so many things. The seafood paella was a must have, the hanger steak was cooked perfectly, patatas bravas because I absolutely love patatad brava, the croquetas were savory balls of joy, the pan con tomate was delish, the crudo light & fresh and champignones full of flavor. For desert we had the key lime pie, flan, and cinnamon brioche - All sinfully good. We left full and happy and talking about when we could come back and try the other half of the menu. Loved!

Wow. What an experience. I actually googled "best time to travel to Spain" after my first bite. Dimly lit with great fun energy. The staff was engaging and so cool. I cannot wait to share this place with more people.

This is such a great new addition to the neighborhood! We've been twice and both times the food and service have been fantastic.

Had a great time there. So glad it opened in our neighborhood and it wasn't another sushi place! Really good food, nice wine, and very friendly service. the only less than fabulous, was dessert. But really, not a deal breaker.

Unidos is hands down the best new spot in Studio City! The food is incredible, the vibe is perfect for date night, and the service couldn't be better. The carne, their hanger steak -- was cooked to absolute perfection. Rene and Che genuinely care about every guest's experience and the quality of the food they serve. This place is a 10/10!

Great time here! Fantastic tapas and amazing food!! Make sure you get the pan con tomate, New York steak, shrimp, and hamachi!! Everything was fantastic

Food is delicious! Had a fabulous glass of red wine along with a number of tapas. The flavors were fabulous, the service impeccable, and a nice flow to when food was brought out. We also ordered the Bronzino and the New York steak. Also, the dessert was so delicious. We devoured it even when we thought we didn't have room! The cinnamon brioche, à la mode!! OMG yum!!! It is a small space... Yet cozy. Nice ambience. Bar was full as were the tables... Good testament to why people were there. Chez and his staff truly want you to enjoy yourselves! That is what a great restaurant is all about.

This place is great! A welcomed addition to this town. Amazing food, ambiance, and staff. What more could you ask for? Perfect for a small meet up or for a group. Feels like family in a cozy space.

Food was amazing. Will definitely come back for more. Great ambiance. Staff are pleasant and courteous.

I am hesitant to write this as I don't want it to get too hard to get in. It's perfection. The ambiance, Spanish vibe and food. Outstanding. Welcome to Studio City. We needed you. Love the owner and host too!

I really this place! The 2 owners are very friendly amd the service was attentive. The interior simple and welcoming, with mood lighting. We had the French Chablis and the Alberino by the glass and it was sooo delicious! Everything we ordered was beautifully seasoned. The mushroom croquettes are outstanding. as was the octopus. The paella for two was delicious and filling. Lastly, we finished it off with the most delicious Key lime pie that they make in house. Next time I will order a Key lime pie to eat there and then a second slice to bring home!

Every single thing we ordered was amazing! Smoked warm olives, mussels, Branzino with side of asparagus and potatoes! Drinks were amazing, food was spectacular and we enjoyed the vibe!

love, love, love. Our new go to place from now on. The food was fantastic. Such a great menu and wonderful wine list. The service was great as well. A really relaxed atmosphere makes it all good. We will be back over and over again. So excited to have this place in the neighborhood. We sampled almost everything and happy to report, everything was good. Yay!

Such a vibe! Che and Renee nailed it. Food, service, ambiance - all excellent. The pan con tomate goes harddddd. I will dream about the chorizo and manchego pintxos - simple and delicious. Branzino was broiled to a delicate delicious crisp. And the keylime pie? Ppffffftttttt

I love absolutely love this place . The food amazing the service is 5 star the owners are so welcoming a great place to take a date or just sit at the bar and have a drink .
