Her tuna sandwich is to die for and the bolognese pasta. the coffee is straight from italy, so the espresso is insane. i tell everyone about this place. If you are in beverly hills and stop by say Jonathan sent you! ”

“ Carla is very nice & caring and great food, best Italian Espressos and a cool little "Biscottino" Pomeranian is waiting to greet you. Stop by and enjoy the authentic Italian experience. ”

“ This place is a hidden gem, small location but amazing food. Pretty pricy but worth the price for the quality and freshness, worth every penny. I ordered the prosciutto and capri paninis, my gosh one of the best panini I’ve had. The environment is homey and welcoming, it felt like home. The cook is polite and obviously knows what she’s doing. Most costumers that came in greeted her like a friend and can tell their relationship was genuine. Will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu items. ”

“ Carla uses the best and highest quality ingredients in all her food and pastries. The entree portions are generous and never skimped. Always a treat to dine here. ”

“ I've searched the seven seas for the best chicken panini, and I found it right here at Da Carla. I asked the owner what her secret ingredient was in her sauce, and all she said was "love". The service, food and ambiance were all tremendous. Added bonus: Biscuit the doggy (see photo) greets every customer with a snaggley-toothed bark. ”

Michael Terry

“ We shared 3 plates and they were all FABULOUS! MY wife is very picky about Italian food and she said it was the best food she's enjoyed out since COVID started. Perhaps more notable was another customer who left as we arrived who said to the owner (Carla), "that was literally the best food I've ever had in my life!" The especial, salmon-filled ravioli in creme sauce, was our favorite. We were pleasantly surprised by the squid ink infused ravioli pasta...Wow!The lasagne and pesto pasta were close seconds. What makes this food truly special is that EVERYTHING is perfectly prepared. Nothing overwhelming - nothing missing. Just fresh and quality ingredients assembled by a person who KNOWS how to cook. I don't know the culinary pedigree of chef Carla, but the quality is worthy of positive a Michelin rating. We ended with pistachio gelato and tiramisu - just perfect! The owner prepares most everything to order, so be prepared to wait - it will take a while. But quality is never rushed. Enjoy. Sit back. Put your cellphone, and talk to people or enjoy the people watching or the fancy cars driving by. Just a delightful experience. It isn't cheap. If you want cheap, there's factory frozen, reheated food down the street. This is real, Italian, prepared with passion and expertly delivered food. Mangia Bene! ”

Steve D

“ Okay I’ve ordered just about everything possible here so it’s finally appropriate to review. it’s all so delicious and tastes fresh, authentic. You can taste the freshness, everything made from scratch. Love Carla’s red pasta sauce. If you’re looking for real food, not your typical restaurant with filler ingredients and over salted food, you’ll love it here. ”

Sahra S

“ Absolutely love Da Carla! Every time I come here, the food is consistently amazing. They have the best paninis and tiramisu I’ve ever had — seriously, it’s like a little trip to Italy right in the heart of LA. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, you instantly feel at home. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or a cozy dinner, it’s always a perfect experience. Highly recommend! ”
