   The staff and the room were lovely. The restaurant was almost empty. My fried calamari was cold and my seafood pasta was way overcooked. Dry. And the cannoli was a joke! It was the size of my pinky. The menu is lacking in good vegan and vegetarian options. I will not go back unless/until there is a new chef. It's too bad as there are few fine dining options in this area.

   This place was FANTASTIC. Seriously, we were blown away by how good everything was. It was only moderately full---which was surprising for a Saturday night----but i have no idea why is was not packed. Our appetizers were great---really fresh tuna and a salad. Our main courses---a whole cooked fish and a seafood pasta---were delicious. Even the wine by the glass was superb. Then there was a delicious chocolate torte for dessert, and really deep rich coffee. To boot, our server was really attentive and helpful. From start to finish, a great meal. A hidden gem for sure. I almost hate to write such a favorable review because it will become harder to get a reservation. :)

   Wonderful new restaurant in LA. Great food, great service, well-thought out menu choices, full bar. The chef is using a combined Italian/Japanese fusion, which works remarkably well.

   Magari is a delightful seafood forward blend of coastal Italian & Japanese flavors that please both palates. Their pastas & seafood, especially crudos, are super fresh and resonate the quality and integrity of preparation. Service was knowledgeable, thoughtful, & well timed.

    Food: kumiai oysters were unique and tasty—good balance of acid and briny goodness. Small downer…3 of our 6 oysters had some shell in em, which isn’t normally a big deal, but when you have strawberries in there too, you can’t be sure if you’re biting down on a berry/berry seed or shell until it’s too late. Hokkaido scallops: similar flavor profile to the oysters, but the shaved onions playing off the oranges added some welcomed complexity. Asparagus: perfectly cooked to our taste (just enough to make them toothsome and get the raw taste out) on a delicious English pea purée. Very good, but not “essential”. Potatoes w/wagyu fat bernaise: one of the highlights. Imagine the most decadent cheese fries possible. Trout roe added some delicious pops of umami and brine that cut the richness of the bernaise. Great dish. Yuzu tagliatelle and roasted duck (cresti de gallo?)—both were amazing. The interplay between yuzu and lobster in the tagliatelle was unique and refreshing, and the balance of whole English peas, unctuous duck, and shaved kumquat was also pretty special. Both pastas were cooked exquisitely. Highly recommended. Chocolate torte—god tier. Fudgy, crystalline chocolate goodness w/dabs of kumquat jam and sprinkled with pistachios (and a very tasty pistachio ice cream) made for a fantastic finish. We were pleasantly full after that…basically passed on the main after waffling between the salmon and the lamb ribs. Sierra was attentive, helpful, and patient, especially when we were torn between options. The yuzu lemonade is accurately described as “savory”—the only non-alcoholic drink on the menu. It was good, but my socks stayed on. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I was surprised it wasn’t more crowded. Then again, Nathan Fillion was there, so who else really matters? Kinda got squeezed between two other two-tops, but still felt like we could have a private conversation (and the couple next to us were cool so we made friends). Five stars.

    Food was great- Must orders: Yuzu Tagliatelle was our favorite! Has a buttery crab flavor Lamb Ribs also incredible literally melted off the bones Creste di Gallo the duck in here was some of the best I’ve had but the rest of the dish is so so. Still worth getting tho Roasted Maitake Mushrooms - great sauce with these Good but would try something else: Dry aged yellowtail - beautiful presentation but flavor is a bit bland Akami Tuna - tuna quality is great the burrata tuna mix was just a weird one for us Wagyu Carpaccio - good but not a ton of flavor would pass

    The food was excellent except for the fried calamari and fish which is a pretty good track record. The tomato basil pasta was excellent as was the chicken entree. We’ll definitely be coming back here frequently.

    We ordered the Akami Tuna, Gnocchi Pesto Genovese, Yuzu Tagliatelle, and Squid Ink Bucatini. All of these dishes were incredible (especially the tuna and the gnocchi) except for the squid ink bucatini which we sent back. We ordered the Akami tuna twice because we liked it so much. Our server was amazing and incredibly sweet and took the bucatini off the check for us. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a trendy date night place, or if you're a fan of Japanese and Italian food. Parking is easy, there's a garage behind the restaurant and the restaurant validates for you. Note: The serving sizes are small so they tell you to order 4-5 dishes each. My partner and I ordered 5 and shared them and we were full by the end. I didn't know that before I booked and I thought $30 for a pasta dish would be reasonable, but the bill came out to over $100. It was worth it for the quality, but just keep that in mind before you book.

    Great experience overall. Every dish we ordered was well prepared and tasty. I especially love the lamb - the flavor is so rich but not over seasoned. For dessert we ordered the Japanese Cheesecake which was average good, not as exciting as the other dishes. Will def come back.

    Under the radar-Really great food made and conceived by world class chefs-seasonal delightful imaginative cuisine that was nonetheless grounded in tradition. You will also enjoy the reasonable pricing which allowed the two of us to share seven opulent courses for $200. I give this place my coveted GOLDEN FORK

    Enjoyed a wonderful dining experience at Magari. The restaurant has a modern look and has a nice ambiance. The food is served on small plates which allowed us to try several different dishes. Our server was very attentive and made excellent suggestions from the menu. We tried the Dry Aged Yellowtail and Akami Tuna from the crudo section of the menu. Both dishes were sooo delicious! We also ordered Roasted Maitake Mushrooms and Bufala & Prosciutto from the Antipasti section and the Gnocchi Pesto Genovese and Yuzu Tagliatelle from the Pasta section. All of the dishes were prepared well and very tasty. We especially liked the Maitake Mushrooms and the two crudo dishes. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others!

    First time in. Went for my birthday dinner. Waiter explained the menu and ordering process concisely. I have a soy allergy so it’s always difficult at Asian restaurants but she let me know everything I could safely order so that was very helpful. Had a great experience.
