About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Romantic
Innovative

Colori Kitchen is a small neighborhood restaurant which opened in 2006. It is located in a petite storefront on 8th Street in downtown historic district, a country style dining reminiscent of a Italian "Trattoria." The restaurant chef Luigi Barducci Contessi with his wife Paola, offer top quality homemade Italian food at affordable prices, adding to people's dining experience the warmth and of course a bit of the drama, that only a real Italian family can offer.

Fantastic food, healthy portions and more than fair prices including the alcohol. Service was great. A real gem. We can't wait to come back. My only regret is that Colori is downtown and not in my neighborhood.

Colori Kitchen is easy to miss if you are walking down the street. After reading reviews, I made a reservation for dinner with business colleagues. One of them, who is from the Midwest, asked me what dish to order if you want to get a sense for how good an Italian restaurant is. I suggested that he order the Pasta Puttanesca, which he did. It blew him away. I had the Spaghetti Vongole, which had the perfect balance of garlic and heat. The Crostini Funghi was a tasty appetizer. Excellent service, tasty food, and reasonable prices will make me return the next time I am in Los Angeles.

How nice is it to be able to bring in your own bottle of wine to a restaurant without corkage! My wife and I both enjoyed our meals and would go back if in the area for good affordable Italian cuisine.

Met friends at Colori Kitchen before a show. Our reserved table was waiting when we arrived, and the service was friendly and efficient. Our meals were delicious, Tagliatelle al la Bolognese, chicken Parmesan, spinach and butternut squash ravioli, capellini puttanesca. Chocolate mousse for the table to share was wonderful. We brought our own bottles of wine, and were not charged a corkage fee. The prices are very reasonable. Everyone loved it, and I will definitely come back next time I’m in the area!
