This place seems to always be packed, so reservations are recommended. They have indoor and outdoor seating. You have to put in your order all at once. The food was decent but not worth the price point. Service was good, but it also seemed like our waitress was the only waitstaff, so it took a while to get a box and the check. Everyone else seemed to be expo or busboys.

it was okay overall, good place for lunch. The meatball was very tender and juicy. The bread on the side was very tasty too. Chorizo pizza was salty but okay. The dough was nice and thin. The lettuce salad was great, I loved the texture. It was over-seasoned but tasty. Service was good, food was fast. I wish they have nicer vibe on that price range though. They also charge 18% service fee.

The pasta was delicious. The gem salad was unique and tasty. The desserts were excellent. The atmosphere is vibrant yet warm and inviting. The service was great. Prices are reasonable. My only reason to deduct a star is lack of parking. Parking is rough in the area so be prepared to go a little early to find parking.

Hmm I understand why the place is always so freaking busy. Amazing food all around. Small and narrow space so be prepared to wait. So many great options that it took me forever to decide. Nonetheless, decided on The Lola. Never was an anchovy on my pizza kind of person but this got me converted. The saltiness of the anchovy cuts through the heat and flavor of the herbs so well. Ugh, so good.

We finally made it to Jon & Vinny’s after months of hearing how amazing it is. It definitely lived up to the hype, it was such an amazing meal we left with leftovers and happy full belly’s. We had the Italian salad, meatballs, Os cotto pizza and the spaghetti limone. The highlight standout was the spaghetti limone, the flavor was so bright and punchy, not your typical heavy cheesey Italian dish, we loved it! The meatballs were so moist and mouthwatering, not dry at all and pairing it with the ricotta and foccacia garlic bread, ahh man it’s what dreams are made of. There were two small things that I docked a star for, but I would like to prefix that they are not major inconveniences nor would it stop me from coming back. We secured a reservation for outdoor cabana, in the era of covid you could tell these were added recently, they are very echoey and hot, the fan definitely helped with getting the hot air out and circulating. Plus they are located on the street so you hear all the traffic and have people walking by constantly during your meal. The restaurant was not even half full on the inside it would have been nice to be offered an indoor seat. Second, again minor, but it was my birthday and I didn’t feel as though the staff took any additional special care to make it a better dining experience.

I love this place. The service is always great, music great, food is great, and the experience is great. The pizzas here are really good. We love the white bronco and the chaparrito. Great variety of salads as well. We were attended my Nora and she was amazing. Will always come back.

Love this spot. Come for the fussili, stay for the pizza!!! It's all fresh and delicious and the space has a nice chill vibe. The dessert is also great if you have room! Book a table in advance if you can because it's a busy spot.

Jon & Vinny's is with a visit, but make a reservation, they were packed. We stopped in and we're lucky enough to find a table for 2. The eclectic atmosphere and food pair well here. We got a few things, the Ham & Yeezy Pizza, the Spicy Fusili Pasta, and the mozzarella sticks. If I had to do it again, I'd skip the mozzarella sticks and get the chicken parmesan. That said, the food was delicious, the pasta had an amazing vodka sauce that made you want more. And the pizza was perfect and would rival some of the best in the country. The crust was crisp, charred and not floppy. The sauce, toppings and cheese paired fantastic with one another. That all said, the service was okay, if you're from the East Coast like I am, you're used to seeing people hustle and everyone here seemed to be running on LA time. It's not anything bad, just different. My other gripe would be portion size, you want more for the price, but I would absolutely come back.
