Came here with 2 vegan friends who truly appreciated a menu where they could eat everything and it was all good. Food nicely presented. Squash blossoms very crispy..filling good texture. Favorites were the oysters and picata(with tempeh). Not being vegan I had a nice wedge salad and Caio e peppe. Loved the margarita.

This place was phenomenal. Convenient dedicated parking lot, a big beautiful space with an old Italian movie playing on one of the walls, and fresh pasta. Also try the tiramisu! (You won’t regret it, except for maybe how full you’ll be.)

We had a wonderful evening at Gracias Madre. We went because it was highly recommended, but it surpassed my expectations in every way. The food was superb (and I am a harsh critic), the place was lovely, the tables were well-spaces so the noise level was low, and the service was outstanding. I'll definitely be back next time we're in Los Angeles. (In the meantime, the food was so good I bought the cookbook!)

This restaurant is fantastic. Overall experience is amazing start to finish. The staff are wonderful. So good I ended going two days in a row last time I was in LA. The place is a hot spot for celebrities and who's who, and it definitely has that vibe but more importantly it does not feel snooty at all. In fact the opposite. The staff give them impression they give the same amazing service no matter who walks thru the door. Food was also delicious. Just incase you are Celiac or prefer gluten-free they are top notch at looking after that request.
