Would highly recommend this to anyone in the area. Some of the best food and service we have ever experienced. We even went back the next night. Thanks again Mark for making us feel at home.
Really nice place, nice service, a worth place to go. Hope to visit this place sometime soon :)
Was thrilled they had pheasant and morel mushrooms with pappardellle. Rich and delicious! The Caesar dressing was really good. The staff was very down to earth and attentive. Their presentation of the tiramisu was adorable, too.
Loved everything we tried, especially the pheasant pappardelle and the polpo with seafood couscous!
Beautiful atmosphere and phenomenal experience! Our server was fabulous and took amazing care of our party of 6. He even went the extra mile to bring out a birthday dessert for our 2 birthday girls! The entire staff was more than welcoming and polite and simply amazing.
The service and food was excellent. Ordered the lobster pasta, and was impressive, I would suggest more of a spice to the dish. I added the parmesean cheese and this was a game change: Gave a whole new taste, was the best parm I had ever tasted. The Scallops and mushrooms were my least favorite. Nothing to write about. This was my first experience eating veal, and I don't think I would eat this any other way than how I had it prepared at Drago. Was a memorable taste, and very pleased with the whole experience
I took my parents here for lunch and the decor / vibe is pretty relaxed with an excellent wine cellar that has see through glass. The bar looks pretty cool too, but we took the outdoor seating on a nice sunny but not too hot day.
I started off getting a coffee and it was great. I ordered the Caesar salad, soup of the day(Cream Cauliflower), Ravioli di ricotta & the Branzino. The Salad and soup were excellent. The ravioli was great but the best was the Branzino. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I highly recommend that dish. The panna cotta and tiramisu were both great to cap off an excellent lunch! Excellent customer service by staff and our server Jose, complements to the chef too.
Just be aware that on site is only valet/self park at indoor garage. On the day I went both are the same price to park, but luckily Drago Centro validates to reduce the price of parking significantly.
Great service, great food and a wonderful bar. This is a gem of a restaurant that you should go to if you are in the area. We have been multiple times and every time it is a great experience. The baby artichokes salad and the grilled peach salads were great. The branzino was very fresh and perfectly cooked. My date has pasta with pheasant and mushrooms and he said it was incredible.
I just had one of the best not just Italian meals in all the times I’ve been to Los Angeles, but, certainly, one of the best meals. I get to LA about once a month and I’m constantly looking for new in different places to eat. Being of Italian ethnicity and growing up in the restaurant business, I am very VERY picky when it comes to Italian food. Everything about my meal was perfect. My server, Mitch, was friendly and attentive. My water glass was never empty, my food was delivered hot and fresh, and a slightly special request was accommodated with pleasantness rather than frustration.
The pasta I had (Zuppa Di Mare) was full of vibrant flavor, and the noodles themselves were homemade and cooked perfectly.
The portion, although slightly on the smaller side, was still plenty.
The real treat, though, was the fresh cannoli for dessert. It was spectacular.
If you haven’t eaten at Drago, you owe it to yourself to try it.
Love this place! They sat us on the patio with our dog and we had such a great meal! The burrata was delicious, the cacio e pepe was exactly what you’d want and the sliders were good too. Yummy drinks and nice wine selection too!
I've been to Celestino many times as that is closer to home. I've also been to Drago when it was in Santa Monica (12 years ago). Drago Centro is also a great restaurant with delicious Italian dishes. Great service too. The web site needs to be updated for parking and free shuttle. The parking is valet only, and there is no free shuttle to the local venues.
My first time visiting Drago Centro and hopefully not my last. I was very impressed with the entire experience from the moment I arrived at the valet parking until I walked out the door.
Lovely setting on the lower level of an office tower in downtown Los Angeles. There is valet parking and the restaurant validates.
The restaurant is good sized but is not overly loud and there is a beautiful patio and lots of natural light.
Nice selection of options to suit all sorts of dietary needs.
All of the staff was kind and very thoughtful. They did a nice job of answering questions and making recommendations.
I enjoyed the salmon, the panzanella salad, and the burrata.
Excited to return to try more and enjoy this beautiful space.
