Dtla And Grill - Los Angeles

Did not end up mentioning the reservation because the place was empty. I had stopped by before with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. Again it was empty but the food was excellent and the both times the waiters were very friendly and attentive. I have to mention the interior art nouveau bar is BEAUTIFUL as are some of the inspired details like the accompanying barstools. Having said that there is some very VERY random and tacky styling going on with color changing LED lighting, fake flowers, water fountains— you name it. It’s a shame because it is an amazing space and takes away from the really unique elements that could set it apart. Will definitely come back for the food and service though!

The restaurant was empty and their Caesar salad didn’t have anchovies although menu stated they had them; they ran out. But our bartender was great (we sat at the bar); best cocktails!

Giulia was quiet with few diners, as such, one would expect better faster service.

Another DTLA restaurant that provides mediocre food at a semi premium price. Unripe tomatoes on the caprese salad to start. An interesting sounding rigatoni that sounded good but didn't deliver. Watery and amateurish. Waitperson was not polished came far too often to bug us for our order in the beginning. You need to read your customers. Also was unable to properly scan my credit card to pay. Had to use another card due to her locking up the other one. Would definitely not recommend to a friend.

Food was good. It was not crowded at all plus the restaurant was understaffed for lunch and service was a bit slow. Nice interior but the choice of music was a bit off. It was as if it was trying to be a 10:30pm cocktail lounge and dance club rather than a place for a nice Italian Lunch
