Mio Babbo - Los Alamitos

This is a hidden gem like a escape to a food in Italy! The food and service was amazing!!!! Best authentic Italian cuisine in LA! Will definitely go back!

The hostess was so beautiful that I really wanted to love this place. The decor was also really cool with eclectic decor. The food just didn't measure. We went for DineLA, where they should show their chef; the caprese salad was beautiful like the truffle friars. I had the chicken in mushroom sauce, which was hard and overcooked and too salty. my partner had the sea bass with truffles; Truffles were good, fish was reboiled. She had the Pasta Bolognese, which was quite good; I had the lobster Ravioli who were not delicious, because the lobster had no taste and the mild sauce added nothing. She had the chocolate cookie thing that was very good; the panna cotta was also good when small.

I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. Despite reading good reviews and it being located in Brentwood, I had high expectations which were not met. I chose this restaurant for a business colleague's birthday celebration, but regretted my decision as soon as we arrived. The ambiance was dark and gloomy, with an excessive amount of items cluttering the dining area, making it feel more like a liquor store than a restaurant. The service was extremely slow, with the owner being the only person serving, hosting, and managing the reception. There was only one cook in the kitchen, and we were the only guests in the dining area. Unfortunately, the food was only average. Overall, I would not recommend returning to this restaurant.

Absolutely delicious food and great hospitality! Will definitely be back!

The place is staffed by a very attentive group, who are eager to please. However they can’t make up for what’s lacking, ambiance food quality, both of which are lacking
