Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Monterey Park

Service was amazing. Our main server was charismatic, efficient and so funny. A manager stopped by and asked if she could do anything for our children, and I asked for crayons. They unfortunately did not have any yet as they just opened, but she brought over an etch a sketch and a doodle pad. My 4 year old was over the moon! The food was impeccable as usual, but the service at this location will keep me coming back here !

the dishes were quite inventive and not the sort of things we encounter in san diego restaurants. the squab pasta was amazingly tasty, the branzino perfectly prepared and delicious and the broccoli with olive oil, garlic and lemon couldn't have been better. the honeycomb ice cream and cannoli were just the right ending to our wonderful meal. the wine list was also inventive and the bottle of sicilian grillo blend paired perfectly with our dishes.

It was our first time there, and it will not be our last. The food was phenomenal. The handmade pasta was superb. Excellent cocktails, too. Our server, Jonte, was gregarious and so engaging. Can't wait to go back, and also to take the pasta making class!

I had not been here in several years and was very excited about the changes that have been mode. I will be returning again for sure.

Wow, coming from a first generation Italian family with a Mom who is the “heavy weight champion” of authentic Italian fare. This meal was epoch. We need DRAGO in Boston!! I will always come back here when I am any where near LA. Service, class and perfection all around the table… Erik Santucci
