About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Kid-friendly
Good for groups

If you know LA dining, you know Cesare Vietina. And if you miss the old school restaurant magic, you’ll find it here—tucked into Beverly Grove under the name Cesare Ristorante.
This is the kind of spot that doesn’t need to shout to stand out. The menu is tight, focused, and full of soul. You’re here for Nonna Tina’s meatballs, housemade pastas like ravioli in salsa rosa, and mains that hit like home—risotto ai porcini, veal Milanese, grilled branzino.
The room? Intimate. Low lighting, soft conversation, no pretense. You will catch Cesare himself greeting tables. The staff knows the regulars by name and the regulars order off memory.
It’s not a place you go to be seen. It’s a place you go to feel taken care of. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just need a great glass of wine and a proper plate of pasta midweek, Cesare Ristorante is that place.
Book a table. Come hungry. Leave happy. Then come back—because this is the kind of place that turns first-timers into lifers.

Went to Cesare with a big group of clients, and it was amazing. Friendly staff, great vibe, and every dish hit. The focaccia with olive oil and garlic was a perfect start, especially paired with the filet mignon carpaccio. I don’t usually like eggplant, but their melanzane parmigiana was incredible. Loved the fennel salad, veal milanese, bolognese, and risotto mare—everything was packed with flavor and disappeared fast. The NY steak was cooked perfectly. And don’t skip dessert: the tiramisu and chocolate mousse were both 5/5. Definitely coming back!

LOVE! The food is epic! Everything we had was incredible, and the ravioli in pink sauce melts in your mouth! I love the owners, they are so hospitable, and all the staff are so kind too. They make it such a beautiful experience. This is definitely my favorite restaurant! Until next time, I will be dreaming of their ravioli! Grazie mille!

Food was fabulous! Service was a little slow but they were friendly so I could live with it. Will definitely go back. The NY steak alone is phenomenal! But the desserts were chefs kiss.

I usually don’t write reviews but had to write one for Casare’s. Every time we’ve been it’s been such an incredible experience. The owners always greet us with a warm welcome. The entire staff is friendly and personable. Service- top notch. They take pride in the details and it shows. Every dish is decadent and reveals the love of true Italian cuisine. We’ve gone for date night and with our 4 year old. Always having the best time.
