Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Tujunga

I’ve been going to Drago’s for over 10 years - or at least from the time the restaurant first opened. Most of the time it never disappoints. I’ve been for holidays, lunches, dinners and even celebrated my birthday in one of the private rooms. The food is always exceptional as well as the service. I was there for Christmas Eve dinner and the food was good but not exceptional. The service was not up to their normal - we had to ask for more water twice and had to ask for a second cocktail twice. We’ll give it another try after the first of the year in hopes that the restaurant was just off because of Christmas Eve and it was crowded - just hoping that was the case.

quickly became one of my favorite restaurants in LA. It’s expensive but worth every penny, especially as the restaurant is pretty generous with the portions. The Pane with pistachios and ricotta is amazing along with the the broccolini caesar salad. The uni pasta is simple and elegant, and one of the best i’ve had, especially topped with grade A uni. Don’t skip dessert and take any digestifif offered. $350 for 2 people. Not cheap, but well worth it and unique amongst the many high end choices in Los Angeles

The service has an experience was wonderful. My dining mates food was delicious. However, my lamb chops were very very tough. I hope to try again because I really loved the experience.

Beautiful interiors, amazing service and great food! I was delighted that the 2 salads we ordered came dressed with just the right amount - not over dressed as in so many restaurants. the salmon was great!

Didn’t know what to expect, but I met a couple friends after work and we shared a pizza and some appetizers. The service was fabulous. Elvira was lovely and attentive. The pour of wine by the glass was generous and the noise level was quiet enough for us to have a lovely conversation between friends - we will definitely come back!! The pizza and brussels sprouts were fabulous!
