MADEO RISTORANTE

Very good property

Hello there i'll make it quick and easy. This place is one of the most authentic and exquisite Italian restaurants on earth so lucky that its here in LA! Owner is still there in person and so sweet. Definitely try the truffle pasta I have had it everywhere and this one is by far superior. Enjoy guys!

I went to casa madera with my husband for our tenth anniversary and it was horrible! I might’ve accepted the exorbitant prices and watered-down cocktails if not for the abysmal atmosphere and depressed staff. I don’t blame the severs, however, because I saw a manager yell at one while gesticulating wildly and swearing for seemingly no reason. I do NOT recommend casa madera for anyone with a modicum of class or respect for food service workers.

Way too loud, too pretentious and expensive. Really not for people my age. It's really not worth the money. I was not there to people watch or to be seen. I wanted to have a nice birthday dinner.
Server was OK, but she didn't care about us. Little did she know that I'm a Restaurant Manager at a Beverly Hills steak restaurant and I would have normally left 30% tip, but I only left 20%. She forgot to put in our dessert drinks, so we had to cancel them, as apparently, the bartenders were too busy. Excuse me??
The busboy was nice and helpful but forgot things here and there.
The food is good, but NOT outstanding. And it's not worth the price. It is my fault that I booked here. I should have known that a restaurant on the Sunset Strip in a hotel would be pretentious and bougie.
The music is too loud and then this guy who walks around playing "Mediterranean" instruments on top of it is just really over the top and tacky! But if tis the bill. :-)
So, overall, not a terrible experience, but I wouldn't recommend this place to any serious adults.

Pasta there is too al dente. Like boiled for 1 minute only al dente… if ordering pasta just tell them you don’t want to chew on uncooked hard pasta.
