Bad experience from start to finish. Zero service, never got out appetizer, entrees came 20 min apart. Offered 6 different items we did not order. Ordered the lobster pasta, it was nothing like the menu said. Not butter poached, half my lobster was removed before it got to the table, did not have any claw meat as described. Sauce was bland and watery. Save yourself the time and go somewhere good.

Food is very delicious. I really like the salads and pasta. Kimchi pasta a must try!!! Octopus salad is amazing ???? The parties are one of the best in Koreatown. They even have a private area for birthdays upstairs. Beautiful place!

Just came for drinks and desert ,It's a Thursday a bit before 5pm . The cake was almost frozen. The macaroons we're almost all unavailable. And the kicker is they didn't have a bartender so no drinks were able to be ordered. Other than that, out server was fantastic and friendly.

Good food, Asian style pasta. Thicker and sweeter sauce. Squid salad was the best of all.

Went here for New Years Eve dinner.
Price - wine is expensive as they only sell by the bottle but food price is decent $$. Not a cheap dinner but it’s also not too expensive.
Food - got the seafood pasta (can’t remember the name), mushroom pizza, blueberry cake, and latte (can’t remember the name). The main dishes were very good. One of the best Italian food in Korean town. Dessert and drink were subpar. Their bread was pretty good.
Service/Ambiance - ambiance is good but service was slow. Took over 30 minutes to get our food. The outside of the restaurant looks sketchy at night with construction next door.
Cleanliness - 4/5 - didn’t use the restroom so don’t know the overall cleanliness
Convenience - 4/5 you can valet or do street parking.

My heart literally warmed up upon reaching for my crab pasta and realizing even the box was hot. . . I opened my little box of bread and the bread was warm. .
The time for my food to get to me was about an hour, and it was beyond worth the wait.
I’m away from family for Christmas ???? working on my dreams and goals & didn’t even plan on getting Uber Eats. . This cafe popped up first on my search and I figured to try it because why not? I don’t usually leave food reviews so, when I tell you this was the most incredible hot crab pasta with fresh fish, octopus perfectly cooked, and delicious herbs/spices. . . It was like someone lovingly prepared this meal for me in my kitchen!
Then. . . I’m so full I have to take a moment before I open this beautiful little box that has a blueberry shortcake for my dessert.
It was all so pretty, beautiful, & gorgeously prepared. Thank you so much Caffe Concerto & your team for such a wonderful Christmas dinner. ♥️????
& the cake! It’s absolutely divine ♥️ Xoxo! Happy New Year to you all! You deserve 5 stars!

So we were attending a concert this night and wanted to have dinner somewhere near by. I checked out this location online and the reviews were ringing 4/5 around there so I figure why not try. Unfortunately within a few minutes we regretted coming by.
First drink order, I ordered a Gin and tonic, the waitress said oh I’m sorry we don’t have a bartender during the weekdays ( that’s a first, usually alcohol is a big part of profits for restaurants ) so we cannot make cocktails since no one knows how to here. I said ok It’s just a Gin and tonic though , it’s not hard to make and the waitress said ok I can try. She then said ok so Gin & tonic so is that like whiskey ? I said umm no it’s Gin…nvm I’ll just order wine.
After going through their wine list every red wine we tired to order by the glass they were out of. Only had bottles and no we didn’t want to spend for the bottles nor even drink that much , we finally found a white wine which wasn’t bad but not memorable.
Now onto dinner,
I ordered the lobster ???? pasta to which I was told sorry we don’t have that tonight….ok I tried the seafood pasta also told sorry not available tonight. Finally settled on the mushroom risotto and my wife ordered the Gorgonzola crusted Filet mignon. We also ordered for a starter the Bruschetta.
The bruschetta came along with our wine and the presentation was on point! I was thinking ok alcohol wise this place isn’t 100% but the app looks great and we both tasted and it was! Nicely done , good portions and tasty. Yay right? That feeling lasted until the end of the appetizer…:(
Once the empty plate was taken away we had idle conversation until my risotto arrived , we like to share our plates with each other so while waiting for her steak to arrive we dug in, which was a good thing since it took an almost extra 15 min before her plate arrived!
The risotto , ???? blah. Tasted like buttery rice with CANNED MUSHROOMS!?! We couldn’t believe it!? Canned ? Right away we were both disappointed. The taste was flat , as if the cook hasn’t even seen a spice rack before. We had to ask for salt and pepper ( there wasn’t any on the table) and even then it barley elevated the meal.
Once her steak arrived ( 15 minutes after min btw) with her sides we both felt something was off from looking at it but couldn’t put our finger on it as we were hungry and eager to enjoy this meal. About 2 minutes into eating this Gorgonzola crusted filet mignon we both realized this is not what we ordered ????????♂️. Instead they gave us the Fletto Pepe Verde from the menu and the sides were all different. Fearing we would not get our meal in a Timely manner if we complained we just said screw it let’s finish this, which once I checked the menu again and it said the Fletto Pepe verde was to have homemade steak sauce, you could easily taste this was 100% A1 steak sauce ????. We couldn’t believe it. What about this menu was/is real I am not sure. And the Fletto Pepe verde again just like the risotto had no flavor just bland. Honestly the roasted vegetables that came as a side were the best thing about this meal.
Now the end of the meal, a gentleman came up to us and asked how were we this evening , we both politely said we are good how are you? He said he was good, and wondered why we chose this restaurant this evening ? ( which I was already wondering in my head but yeah) he stated he was the owner. My wife and I looked at each other and there was this understanding that we didn’t know how to break it to this man if he asks how was the food?
But fate was on our side and he actually didn’t even ask how was the food lol. We said the honest truth that we were going to a concert near by in a little while and wanted ot enjoy a meal close by and read online this place got good reviews. He nodded his head and said thank you for coming then walked away.
We both just sighed, paid the check and politely left. I think “ In n out “ would have eclipsed this experience for us had we decided to done that instead.

I don't live in LA but every time I'm in town I come here for food! Would always recommend it to anyone within earshot. Used to come here for their lobster pasta (which was very generous with half a lobster) and most recently, tried their seafood pasta with the rosé sauce (which is hard to find in a lot of places where I'm at) and it was AMAZING.
Their patio has such a nice romantic and relaxed vibe. Great place to have after dinner coffee or wine and dessert with friends. Inside and upstairs is also really nicely furnished. I love their macaron options!
I can't rave about this place enough. Food, drinks, apps, desserts are all super good. So hard to go wrong with the ambience or menu! Please give it a try, even if it's out of your way!
Ps - my friend got the mushroom risotto, which she also loved, as well as the peach oolong tea. My boyfriend got the basil pesto cream pasta, which was also generous with shrimp and he loved it too!

The food was pretty good (the crab pasta was really good!), although also quite pricey. I would give it a 4.5 out of 5. Note that if you want tot have a birthday celebration and bring a cake there, they charge a 20 dollar fee for putting it in the fridge and serving it.

A good italian place. I really liked the atmosphere and the service was great. The ambience was very stylish and energizing. Parking was tough around that area. The food was good, not great. The ceviche was not great, neither the salmon salad. Their pizzas were better. I just would’ve expected more given the seemingly upscale feel.
