    ✨NEW AUTHENTIC ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN A GARDEN IN LA✨ I just got back from spending two weeks in Italy over the holidays, so I RAN to try this newly opened Italian restaurant that uses flour imported from Italy here in Los Angeles! Settecento is located in the Maguire Gardens in DTLA, right next to the Los Angeles Central Library, and their menu spans northern, southern, and Sicilian Italian food including unique appetizers, handmade pastas, and hearty mains. Easily my favorite thing on the menu is the Neapolitan-style pizza — and it’s no surprise, because they make it in-house from scratch with Italian flour in their wood-fired oven! Other highlights include their creative take on Caprese, and the thinly sliced Carpaccio di Manzo. They also have show-stopping ambiance both inside (hanging instruments and pillars made of books) and outside (multiple huge patios that transport you from the hustle and bustle of Downtown to a serene Italian vacation). Settecento is open 7 days a week, offering breakfast on weekdays and lunch and dinner every day. They’re even open late, until midnight on Friday and Saturday! Send this to someone you wanna take here, and follow me for more LA restaurant reviews and new openings, recommendations, and things to do! 🍕 @settecentodtla #losangeles #lafoodie #thingstodoinla #italianfood #dtla #newrestaurant

    The location is great and it is next to the LA Central Library, a historic building. It has nice outdoor seating. The bar has unique pillars on each end that are worth looking at since they are made up of books extending from the floor to the ceiling. The food was good for a mid level establishment and the serving sizes were adequate. The pizza was outstanding as far as the dough goes, it was very light and didn't take over the pie as most pizza's do.

    Thank you so much for your review, Peter!

    Pizzas were cold . The Burrata geese which was to be the highlight along with the prosciutto feature of my pizza was not fresh and creamy. So disappointed. My friends were quiet and we all know what we didn’t say as we were better off celebrating a birthday than complain about the nature of the food overall
    Settecento DTLAResponded on October 26, 2026
    Dear Myra, We’re truly sorry your birthday celebration didn’t go as it should have, and we appreciate your feedback. Next time, please don’t hesitate to flag down your server. We’re always happy to make things right on the spot, and we would have loved the chance to do so for you. We are sharing your comments with our kitchen team and chef so we can address this right away. We’d welcome the chance to make it up to you, and we hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide the experience you deserve!

    A bit of a disappointment with our dinner last night. Our server kept forgetting we were dining. She very rarely came to our table, she even forgot to bring Ilya water. I had to flag down another waitress. Food was great but this time service was not there.

    We had a lovely birthday brunch celebrating our Mom's 94th. Excellent attentive service, and employees offered help to get her out of her wheelchair and into a seat. The brunch menu is somewhat limited, but we enjoyed the frittata, pancakes and salmon benedict. Only complaint was that the english muffin for the benedict was over toasted and hard, somewhat difficult to cut. Otherwise, everything was delicious and beautiful. Such a pretty environment for a relaxed birthday brunch. Definitely would return.

    Thank you Cheryl, Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re honored you chose to celebrate your mom's birthday with us, and we’re so glad our team made you feel welcome and comfortable. We’re sorry about the over-toasted English muffin and have shared your note with our kitchen.

    Came here for a business lunch. The food was good. The staff was attentive. Unfortunately, we came on the day where it was 90+ degrees outside and we were seated outside. Plenty of umbrellas for shade but no fans or cooling units to deal with the heat. It made the experience unbearable. Us and everyone around us ate quickly and left. They have a second outside area and it was shaded from the trees and umbrellas. Utilizing that area would have made more sense. Will come back when the weather is cool.

    Dear Liz, Thank you for the feedback, and we’re glad you enjoyed the food and service. We’re sorry the heat made your lunch uncomfortable. We agree that we had extremely hot days in Downtown recently. The weather has cooled down nicely, and we’d love to have you back for a more comfortable visit.
