I took a business associate to lunch here. The waiter asked us what we'd like to drink and we both said "just water." Our water glasses were filled and then we ordered food. We both also ordered Diet Cokes. When our bill arrived there was a $7 charge for water. I told the waiter we didn't order any special water. The waiter said "Did you drink any of the water?" We both said we took a few sips. The waiter said 'If you drank any of the water then you have to pay for it." Again I said we didn't order a special water and I wasn't going to pay

Drago Ristorante what a pleasant surprise!
My husband and I came here for dinner because it was conveniently located in the Peterson Museum and it was a culinary surprise. We started off with their fried calamari as an appetizer it was full a flavor & the perfect texture. I love that they added sliced up fried zucchini along with it. My husband ordered the SPAGHETTI FRUTTI DI MARE it was delicious. I ordered the FUSILLI VODKA, the noodles were cooked to perfection and the sauce was perfect! The bread that came to the table with our entrees came straight from the oven it was warm & soft

Went for lunch. Excellent calamari and really good pizza with prosciutto. Service was good and I would really like to go back there more often and would have given 4 stars BUT and this is a BIG But paying $12 to self park is a huge NO.
Solve that Mr.Drago and you will see me and probably a lot more people in your restaurant and won't have to pay 10 waiter staff to take care of only 4 tables.

Wow. Very very pleased with the service itself! We were helped by a gentleman by the name of Mario and by far some of the best service we have ever received. Very helpful, friendly and attendant!!! We had a few drinks and appetizers and will be returning next time we're in the LA area.
PS. I recommend the calamari!

This place was unexpectedly excellent. The staff was top notch: personable, professional, and helpful. The food was really good, and the 3 course dinner option for $39 was a great deal. Plenty of food. A pleasant variety. I'd definitely stop here again. The atmosphere is inviting & trendy with great music too! This Ristorante is the place to draGO!

I'm glad I stopped in here. I was at the museum and we decided to eat. The service is excellent, highly professional and very attentive. The place is beautifully outfitted. It should go without saying, but the food is excellent in structure and taste.
I have to call out again the attentiveness and the professionalism of the staff, very nice, fine dining to be sure.

I was at the Porsche Concourse this past weekend and of course this is convenient since it's right inside the Petersen, which we also explored some. Food is pretty decent, doesn't knock your socks off but I didn't have high expectations.
I had the meat and ricotta lasagna and it was definitely very cheesy. So much so that at times, I had to really separate the melting, stretchy cheese. The taste was okay. Good enough.
I think my boyfriend had penne pasta and sauce, and he thought it was good. Again, nothing Earth-shattering.
My waiter was the bartender because we sat at the high

Come here for the Italian food, NOT a burger as 3 out of 5 of my party members did so.
The burgers are incredibly dry. Not flavorful at all. I took a bite from our daughters' shared plate. No. Just before that one kiddo blurted out, "My fries are cold."
The saving grace was the ravioli ricotta ($16) which had spinach with "Drago Farms" sauce. The complimentary table bread was delightful - a nice crunch on the crust and soft inside, but alas not warm.
Sodas are a whopping $3.50 and served in a can alongside a glass full of cubed ice. No one asked if we needed refills

This place served one of the best meals I have ever had. When we walked in we were greeted in a very timely manner and taken to our table. Our waiter was very friendly and walked us through the menu since we had never been here before. When the food came out, it was beautifully plated. It was a piece if art. The food tasted amazing and was a symphony of flavor. I would come back here anytime to eat. It is definitely worth a visit!
