One of my top places in LA. The dishes that top my list are: fried calamari , mozzarella marinara , White Fish , Chicken Parmigiana , & the spaghetti with meatballs . Be sure it finish with a cannoli .

Mercedes McLemore

The only place you ever need to eat Italian food in LA. Great menu, old school vibe, perfect wine list . If you order cheesecake , split it because it's RICH

David Fisher

Everything! Dan Tana’s is the best Italian food and the staff is amazing and are good friends. Love the Chicken piccata ! Yum

Craig Tice

Best chicken parm anywhere. Also the New York strip is outstanding. Get the cappuccino ice cream to end the meal.

Stan Bashmashnikov

One of the best Italian resteraunts I've ever been to. Completely authentic feel. Old 1960s Hollywood vibe. You'll feel like you're sitting amongst the stars. A must visit.

Epicurious

This local landmark 's decor recalls the days of the Rat Pack, but is packed full of modern Hollywood legend. The rich and famous gather here for martinis and chicken parm that can't be beat.

Offbeat L.A.

Opened 1964. Iconic celebrity-studded Italian restaurant . Red leather booths , old school classic.

You can get a plate of spaghetti with champion-sized meatballs or satisfying chicken Parmesan . We especially appreciate the seasoned staff and stiff martinis .

This is cafeteria Italian, for those who like Spaghetti-o's. Come only if you want to spot a celebrity who clearly doesn't want to eat.

Great Italian but crowded

Nic Newman

Worst experience of my life. The waitstaff was rude lied about items being free. It seemed like the waiter wanted to punch me. Manager didn’t even care. Food wasn’t even good. I would NOT recommend.
