our final happy hour dishes were the pizzetta, porchetta, artichoke, mushroom & fontina and meatballs, tomato sauce & basil. no wonder the man working the pizza oven always smiled…the flavors were fantastically combined and layered over bubbly, slightly burnt crust - just the way i like it. pizza party in my mouth, people. at that point we were so full, but the black truffle burger we spotted on thetablenearby told us that we’d be back for seconds, and very soon. the meatballs were savory, hot and only $4 again…what?! it was the kind of sauce on the bottom of the copper bowl that makes you want to use a spoon. i didn’t…just saying…

i've been here many times but just got a chance to leave a review. the food is always good especially red quinoa salad with grilled salmon (this is a must for me). i would also recommend cheese platter (cicchetti, cured meats & cheeses ) to start and grilled spicy whole chicken (super tasty). last time i came here i ordered short rib but it was kinda forgettable. service from the server or bartender is always excellent, hostess is cute and friendly. it's better to reserve thetableearlier or you'll expect to wait more than 30 min especially on weekend. they also provide valet service. overall, this place is one of my favorite places to eat in la.

usually love this place, because great happy hour menu and nice crowd.  loved the truffle burger,  but they missed the mark.  got there to join a friend, and took over 20 mins to ever get someone to take our order, let alone a drink.  funny, they told us we could have atablebut needed to leave in an hour.  we didnt get our simple 2 dishes for almost an hour.  the truffle burger was so plain when we aasked it without pork. but they took everything out, cheese and truffles, the whole point of it.   the burger took long, when we sent it back to add the cheese and truffles, it still  came out looking so plain as if it was a fast food burger, shake shack looks better.   at the end the manager came by to apologize, but still charged us, knowing how disappointing even the 2nd burger was.    we paid, but think they usually would have more pride before serving such a dish.  they usually do a great job.

ijd. we had a lunch pary of 10. the place is nice and the food was good, but the service was disgusting: unpleasant, unfriendly, never there when needed and even arrogant. if not for the fact that there was a compulsory tip of 20% due to the size of the party, i would have left pennies on thetableto indicate that i did not forget and that the service was not worth more than that. service is a prerequisite of a good restaurant!!!

i'll be back!. dinner at cecconi last night was a blast even though we did not roll up in a rolls royce phantom, bentley continental, ferrari f430 or aston martin db9. toss in the fact that we were not joan collins or diane caroll, and i gotta say, we were treated a-ok for the most part.

cecconi's is gorgeous with a mediterranean vibe and open floor plan. the bar area was humongous and was constructed of solid marble. very well done, imo.

according to the hostess, cecconi's opened on monday 2/23 to a lot of hype. i was unable to obtain a reservation for a dinner meeting, however, my compatriots and i decided we would toss caution to the wind and walk-in to snag a table. i arrived at 7:20pm and placed my name on the walk-in wait list and waited....and waited...and waited.

however, our wait for atablewent by fairly quickly in that the three of us chatted and people watched. i must say, cecconi's is rife with eye candy and monied folk. a couple phantoms pulled up, three bentley's, a few ferraris and a couple astons.....with older sugar daddy's at the wheel and a hottie youngin in the passenger seat. wow. awesome.

after an hour, we were seated at a quainttablethat just fit the three of us. since my compatriots do not drink, we opted for sparkling water.....which took 10ish mins to arrive. doh.

our waiter arrived after what seemed to be 20mins and did not introduce himself.....another doh! he proceeded to ask about drink orders, which we declined. he began to walk away, at which point we accosted him to place our food orders. don't mess with hungry folk!!

app:
burrata w/ marinated artichokes: the first plate arrived and they did not remove the casing from the burrata. whoops. as i was picking out the creamy burrata, a second plate came with the burrata removed from the casing. the server stated: "the kitchen made an extra one for you guys by mistake...here you go." lols. the burrata itself was quite good, very creamy but a tad watery which i found to be odd. the artichokes did not have much flavor. overall, this dish was eh.

farmers market vegetables: this was a fresh garden salad and was very good. the salad is brought to thetableundressed, and we asked for it to be lightly dressed, at which point the salad was taken to a salad station where the chef dressed the salad and brought it back to our table. the greens were very good and fresh. i recall broccoli, asparagus, endive, arugula and lettuce. i'm sure there were a handful of other greens that i missed. the dressing was a light vinaigrette and really brought the salad together.

buffalo mozzarella pizza: we all deemed this to be the worst dish of the evening. the crust itself was quite good, however, the sauce was pure tang and very runny. there was a dab of mozzarella (literally the size of a dime) on each slice and a sprig of basil. the pizza fell short in the flavor department, well,...actually, it was tart as hell.

wild mushroom risotto: this was very good. the arborio rice was cooked very well and they did not skimp in the mushroom department. the creaminess was just right. i'd definitely order this dish again.

baked gnocchi w/ butter & sage: this was the winner of the evening. wow! it was rich without being too rich...does that make sense? the pillowy gnocchi popped with flavor and i swear these suckers were ooey gooey puffs of cheesy spilling goodness.

eggplant parmigiana: this dish was quite good as well. the eggplant was cooked well and was firm without being gooey. the saucier was a bit heavy handed with the sauce but all in all, the flavors worked well with one another. the kitchen haphazardly threw on a side of baby greens which looked out of place, so presentation was eh.

service during the night was off and on. first off, the server needs to introduce him or herself right off the bat. ours did not. he seemed a bit distracted and it felt like he wanted to rush off to other tables when we were still in the midst of ordering. weird huh?

dinner took a long time. we were seated at 8:30pm with our orders placed around 8:50pm. the app came out quickly. then there was a hiatus. then the salad and pizza came out. wtf? shouldn't the app and salad come out together then the pizza. the staging of the food was definitely off. by the time we finished the salad the pizza was cold. boo.

after the the salad and pizza, there was an even longer hiatus. at roughly 10:30pm, the risotto, gnocchi and eggplant dishes arrived. yep, from the time we sat down till the "mains" were served was roughly 2hrs. yowsa.

however, cecconi's does have potential. we all went in knowing that they are still working out the opening kinks and thus we had a pleasant time. however, i hope the kitchen, expediters and runners get into sync quickly as timing was totally off. and pizza guy, work on your craft as it is lacking......seriously.

i'll be back to try the meat dishes....stay tuned as cecconi's has a lot of potential!!!!!
