“ I’ve been meaning to check this place out for a minute and it certainly didn’t disappoint! The wines here are special and numerous, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is to die for! Not pictured is the bar steak which was delicious and cooked perfectly in my opinion! Pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente and the vodka sauce was simple but nicely nostalgic. This place would also be a great first date spot if you really want to impress.... I’ll be back :) ”
“ Great food (pasta was yummy) in an beautiful setting. Candle lit, romantic, in a garden courtyard setting. ”
“ Somewhat of a hidden gem. Looks low key from outside and in the less popular blocks - but better have a reservation, coz it’s always busy. Got seated at the lounge. The lady at the bar was so friendly. Food was absolutely amazing! Wanted to go back for the Brazino entree ... ah well, on my next visit! :) ”
“ Excellent! We ordered their "Weekend Dinner" during the pandemic - this was the first time we ordered from Lolo. Jesus, their chef is a genius! The best cauliflower recipe I have ever had. The meal was the best meal I've had since the lockdown. My husband agreed! It was so good, we are literally ordering every weekend dinner to slowly try their entire menu. The 25 per person 3 course meal is worth it. I can't wait until this pandemic is over so I can try favorites again (the pasta was cooked perfectly). Pros: Big portions, taste great as leftovers, wonderful recipe pairings for their meals. Splurge on desert & bread- totally worth it. Cons: only opened on weekend during pandemic. Order early in week before sold out. This is the same review I left on yelp - it’s really that great! ”
“ impeccable and heavenly flavors, lovely staff, cosy ambience. particularly roasted carrots, hummus and cacio e pepe was scrumptious. save up some space for the chocolate tart - you won’t be disappointed. definitely worth the visit! ”
“ Lolo is my favorite wine bar in the neighborhood. Great ambience, wine and food. Their tuna dish got me coming back every week, and their made in house pasta is always on point! Grilled prawns are to die for! ”
“ This was a great evening of dinning from beginning to end! Like many LA facades, this one seems unassuming from its exterior but as soon as you enter the black iron gated door and into the restaurant you are greeted by an ambiance so inviting! There’s a bar/lounge off to the right (which I have to check out next time), adorned with intimate seating, plush couches, and a centralized bar in the space. We sat outside on the patio and had such excellent service from Mandy! The wines were delicious (had the sparkling and chilled red), butter and bread to start as well as the caesar salad and tuna tartar. Then for our mains we enjoyed the rigatoni and the spring lasagna. Omg, wow!! It did not disappoint. The coursing was done to perfection and we were very pleased with everything!! After dinner, my date went to the restroom and I had an impromptu conversation with the owner, Laurie, who was very personable. We will definitely be back again, and again! ”
“ This was an amazing place for the surprise b-day for my wife. Thank you! Food/wine/vibe was beyond all expectations, and Laurie is the BEST! She went out of her way to help me pull this off, even though this was our first time dining with them. We will definitely be coming back. LOVE this special spot! ”
