Jon Vinny's Brentwood

After America 's decades of torturing and mass producing Italian food, it 's easy to forget one of the main staples of true Italian cooking: unfussy, simple recipes using the best and freshest ingredients. No, Jon and Vinny 's is not just like you 're in Italy, but they have remembered that main tenet. Keep it simple, keep it good. I was expecting this place to be very over-hyped. A place for bored LA residents to try spotting stars. I brought my mom here for an early dinner when she was visiting, and we shared the ricotta bruschetta with orange blossom honey, the LA woman pizza, and the cavateli with sausage and cavolo nero similar to kale . We of course saved enough room for dessert, for w...

Well I love the Fairfax one and so was not sure what to expect at the Brentwood location. We arrived a bit early for our reservation and they were telling us that they were about 30 to 45 minutes behind seating people. Because I had just drove down from San Francisco, I just needed to sort of unwind while I waited. They let me wait inside their wine store called Helens which at this location is at the front door to the Left, tall long semi roomy (compared to Fairfax being in the back and a tight squeeze and AC cool to wait in and compared to the muggy air outside was divine. We were seated eventually in the back outdoor seating which I think they made during Covid which was a great area, spa...

They're known for their spicy fusilli pasta with vodka sauce, and I can definitely see why! That was our favorite dish, super flavorful and subtly spicy. The other pasta however wasn't as good. I forgot exactly what it was called on the menu but it was basically a fettuccine Alfredo with verde pasta our waiter told us it was arugula flavored. I would skip this pasta next time as it was minimally flavored and basic. The other dishes we ordered were delicious though, including the gem lettuce salad and the marinara meatballs with ricotta and garlic bread. We also got the Margherita pizza which was perfectly cooked, crispy, and had just enough cheese to sauce ratio! We ended off the meal with t...

Nice, casual Italian eatery on San Vicente Blvd. in Brentwood. We ordered a ricotta honey bruschetta appetizer, the LA Woman pizza and a homemade pasta and all were tasty. We ended with the chocolate caramel sea salt budino. Plenty for two people and not too sweet. There are plenty of Italian restaurants in Brentwood, actually I think it's kind of a punchline, but what made this stand out was efficiency. The design of the tables that could be quickly changed from a four top to a two top, the organization of the open kitchen and the overall neatness was very attractive. Service was good. We were there in the middle of a shift change and though we had different servers by the end of the meal,... Reserve uma mesa agora

Clean and modern place. Gem Lettuce Salad delicious salad, has a little kick but not over powering. Bronx Bomber Pizza pizza has a lot of flavor, had to control myself and not eat so much of it. Marinara Meatball it was good, maybe decent, it just was not amazing. Just a meatball and break was greasey. Mozzarella sticks were great, probably our favorite dish. Spicy fusilli impressed, good flavor but it was mild on the spicy scale. Not much of a kick to it. Fettuccine Verde Alfredo was another great dish. Not overly garlic which was good. But it might be rich for some people. Dessert tiramisu was tasty. I normally don't eat tiramisu but this one was impressive. Couldn't stop eating it. Could...

I'm quite impressed with this restaurant. I tried the Gladiator pie, with sausage, bacon, pepperoni and ham. Very smoky flavor. Good dough, nice scortch, well made pie. Best NYC pizza I've had in Los Angeles since Grimaldi's. I would place it in my Tier 1 list (see profile). The calamari is from Rhode Island. That's the finest squid available in the US. It's also more expensive to buy. They make a good decision since it's a far superior product. I have to admit that I found it a bit odd they provided mayo instead of tartar sauce but the marinara was nice and spicy. Tom our waiter and the rest of the staff was very nice. I would recommend bringing a light jacket or sweatshirt.

For some reason, even though. number of guests pleaded with managers and servers to turn the AC down or off, we moved tables to get warmer, but still froze. That said — brace yourself for quantity. The portions are vast, so plan to share or take home. Food was generally delicious — everyone in our group of four was pleased. Terrific family vibe, and very informal.

The service was excellent. I was hoping the food would be amazing. It was good and a place you need to try once. I had the gem salad, Spicy Vodka Fusili, and the Lola pizza. To drink I had a glass of rose and for dessert cannoli. Reserve uma mesa agora
