I brought my twin 18-year-old daughters here for dinner on our trip to LA and the owner was so hospitable to us. He sat us at a booth facing a fireplace. The food was delicious and the staff was top notch. The owner showed us where movies had been filmed there and gave a wonderful talk to my daughters. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed a wonderful and festive New Year’s Eve dinner at Guido’s. They comfortably accommodated nine of us with impeccable service all night long. The owner is delightful and made sure to check in on our table multiple times throughout the night. The food is delicious classic Northern Italian fare. Hearty and generously portioned. Try the Veal Parmesan, it doesn’t disappoint!

I live in Michigan and came to California for a trip. I ate here and ordered the chicken Alfredo. This was hands down, the BEST Alfredo I’ve ever had!! I wish I lived closer because I have been craving this dish. I look forward to eating here when I come back out to California!

This is the perfect place to take parents out to dinner. Classic old school Italian restaurant. Cozy red leather booths. Beautiful outdoor space that doesn't feel outdoors. Not too loud. Full bar. The waiters are like family to us. If we don't take my mom every week she gets depressed. No other restaurant matches all of her requests, but this one.

Such a great experience! Our waiter Eric was a total joy. The environment is so warm and inviting & the food was super comforting and met every standard you’d expect from an old school Americanized Italian place. Came here on a whim but will 100% be back.

This restaurant is the best in town! Came here for my first time and it won’t be my last. The food was delicious (I got the lasagna bolognese) and the service was excellent. Everyone was so nice and welcoming and they gave us a great seat. The vibe of the restaurant is great too, it’s a beautiful interior that’s super cozy and great for a local bite. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! Bruno is the best too.

There aren't many Italian restaurants that still hand make their pasta and this OG spot is one of em!! I had the fettuccine alfredo and wow was it melting in my mouth. The mozzarella was ridiculous fresh, we had the fried mozzarella and the Caprese and both were ahhhmazing. We dined indoors, the woodwork decor everywhere is beautiful, right down to the intricate wooden hearth around the huge fireplace. The outdoor patio is over the top beautiful and we can't wait to come back for more great eats!! Lovely old school delicious Italian restaurants are hard to come by. It was super fun to see all the famous people that have visited throughout time along the hallway walls too!
