Angelini Osteria
RESTAURANT SUMMARY

Where two decades of unwavering dedication to authentic Italian cuisine has created a Los Angeles institution, Angelini Osteria stands as the city's most beloved osteria, drawing devoted regulars and discerning diners to Chef Gino Angelini's masterful interpretation of Emilia-Romagna traditions.
Since opening in 2001, Chef Gino Angelini has transformed this intimate Beverly Boulevard destination into the gold standard for Italian dining in Los Angeles. Born in San Clemente, Emilia-Romagna, Angelini brings generational recipes and old-world techniques to his kitchen, earning Michelin recognition and cementing his reputation as Los Angeles' premier Italian chef. His journey from Rex Il Ristorante to creating his own culinary empire reflects a commitment to authenticity that resonates in every handcrafted dish.
The menu reads like a love letter to Northern Italy, with signature creations that have become legendary among Los Angeles gourmands. The Lasagna Verde "Omaggio Nonna Elvira" layers house-made spinach pasta with slow-simmered beef and veal ragu, while the coveted Linguine with Santa Barbara Sea Urchin showcases Angelini's ability to marry Italian tradition with California's finest ingredients. The Spaghetti Norcina, featuring house-made sausage in cream sauce, and the theatrical Branzino al Sale—whole fish encased in salt crust—demonstrate the kitchen's technical mastery. Each pasta is crafted daily, from the silky Tagliolini al Limone to the robust Tagliatelle Bolognese, representing fine dining excellence at approachable price points.
The dining experience unfolds in an atmosphere that perfectly captures the osteria spirit—warm, welcoming, and refreshingly unpretentious. The cozy interior, complemented by coveted sidewalk tables, creates an intimate setting where celebrity regulars and neighborhood devotees share the same appreciation for Angelini's craft. The family-run service, led by Angelini's wife Elizabeth and son Ginetto, embodies Italian hospitality at its finest. The thoughtfully curated Italian wine program features selections from Piedmont to Sicily, expertly paired with each dish. Private dining is available through the adjacent Angelini ALTA, while the connected Alimentari offers guests the opportunity to take home Angelini's celebrated sauces.
Reservations through Resy are essential for experiencing this Los Angeles fine dining treasure, where consistency and authenticity have created a legacy that continues to define Italian excellence in the city. Whether celebrating a special occasion or seeking the perfect neighborhood osteria, Angelini Osteria delivers an unparalleled dining experience that honors tradition while embracing the vibrant culinary landscape of Los Angeles.
