Tanino - Los Angeles

Got Frutti de Mar. Sauce a bit thicker than I anticipated, but with excellent flavor. Not too much tomato bite, not too herby, not too spicy hot, plenty of shellfish and calamari. Very good bread. Excellent balsamic vinegar. Great Manhattan as well. Beautiful surroundings, professional servers. I only wish my wife could be with me.

My wife and I went there in 2015 with my uncle and his husband, and several of their friends who know Tanino personally. We were treated to some of the best Italian we’ve ever had. We still talk about the pasta dish Tanino himself whipped up, it was amazing. Excellent place, excellent food, amazing staff and def would go back if we were ever in LA again. Yeah, it’s cramped, but have you ever walked in Italy? It’s cramped there too.

Beautiful space and food that hits the spot. Worth a try if you're an Italian food lover.

What a great place. The food, drink and atmosphere is wonderful. But Melani was the best. My son had just had open heart surgery. I was tired and upset. I stopped for a bite. She was so kind. She turned my whole evening around. Thank you so much.

Our neighborhood go to for great Italian when we are in Westwood. The staff is very professional and really well trained. The wine list is great and reasonable. The pastas are made fresh daily. We love the carbinara pasta. Tri color salad with toasted almonds is great and the minnestroni soup fantastic. We shared the lamb chops which were cooked perfectly. Can't go wrong here!
