Best WLM Reviews
ORIGINAL: fabulous food (and great value) - a neighbourhood favorite.
UPDATE: After showering Alimento with love and praise to everyone I know, I returned with four friends- 3 of us were on time, the fourth had to find parking. At 7:15 (SHARP!) our 4th diner arrived and was told we had missed our table. I truly couldn’t believe it - especially after so much love we have to this place.
The food is great - the staff are entitled, rude and simply ridiculous. We will never return.
We went there last Saturday for dinner recommended by Cosa Buona Restaurant.
Date night ! This place has great ambiance very cozy and nice .
We ordered pasta , salad and appetizer, food was great tasty and Fresh!
Also wine is great many choices to pick from the menu.
It’s my first time back after the restaurant reopened post renovation. The food is as delicious as ever. The beef tartare with soy cured egg yolk, cracked farro salad and chili ribs are always good choices. The spaghetti with Dungeness crab and the fusilli with clams were satisfying. The orata with pesto trapanese and bean puree was the hands down favorite. The service is superb. The place is also dog friendly like most places in Silverlake.
A surprising little Italian spot in Silverlake! One of the best Italian places we've been to in LA. The menu is minimal and on point. Each dish felt carefully designed and the bites were absolutely perfect. We paired everything with unique orange wines. The servers were very knowledgeable and passionate which made the experience even better. Chicken liver crostone, Masa Gnocco Fritto, and Tortellini en Brodo are a must!!
We were very excited to make it to Alimento before closing. The food was excellent but the wait staff were incredibly rude. We were rushed out after 1 hour and 3 minutes at the restaurant. Meanwhile other tables had been there much longer. (The host actually rolled his eyes at us when we pointed that out) Never in my life have I been pushed out of a restaurant. Don’t bother coming before close. It’ll leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Nice ambiance and wide wine selection; great for date night! The chicken liver crostone was a highlight, really well-balanced with the rhubarb jam! Scallop crudo was just ok — the ponzu was deliciously acidic but the almonds weren’t a great combo; scallops could also be served cooler (warmed to room temp really quick). The radiatori was simple but delicious with yummy pork sugo. The fusilli was decent — clams were good, as was the smoked butter sauce (though as butter lovers, we could only eat so much of it).
Craving for some good Italian, get a table for two. Service was very friendly and attentive (nothing like other reviewer mentioned) minimalist design and decor, simple and clean.
We start with smooth delicious chicken liver pate, followed by tender octopus, just right amount of spicy ribs, al dente duck sausage lumache, all good but until acqua pazza show up, it's just so far away from their Instagram picture (look like two different dish) and way too salty.
Overall it was a great dinner.
Upon arriving promptly at our appointed time (6:45), we were told by the hostess there is another party of four after us at 8:15. Maybe it is a common practice in Silver Lake area but in all of our travels/eating out, that was a first ???? Ok. We can compartmentalized that from the rest of our dinner experience. After all, we are here for the food. Let me be honest, Italian food hasn't been our thing for a long time. It used to be all we cook at home. I think we were hoping for a fresher take on Italian cuisine. Unfortunately, we didn't find that here. Despite the fact that it is the height of summer produce season, all dishes we ordered were BROWN, and a touch heavy on the salt. Preparation is superb but perhaps not suitable for a 82f summer evening in SoCal. Staff is great (minus the hostess of course). Our dinner just did have the right balance with the hot summer evening.
