Message from Los Angeles Usc Restaurant
At Cafè Cinecittà we do everything possible to serve you meals as they once were. We believe that there are too many ready made prepared foods served in restaurants today. Therefore all our breakfast items, pasta sauces, Lasagnas, Gnocchi, Ravioli, Soups, Panini and Pizzas are freshly prepared in our kitchen. Our beef, chicken and fish are fresh and the Hamburgers are made using only U.S.D.A selected Angus beef. The fried foods are prepared in trans fat free oil. We believe that as our guest you deserve the best!
Insider Pages Reviews for Los Angeles Usc Restaurant
The former Eat street grill is now Cine Citta - the new owner is a friendly, fashion forward Italian and in addition to the original menu they have added pastas, pannini, illy coffee along with hardwood floors, giant Italian movie posters which kicks this place up a whole other notch while maintaining the original pricing.
I had lunch there yesterday- spinach and ricotta cheese ravioli with a sage butter sauce for under $8!!!! Perfectly light parcels of deliciousness with an almost translucent skin in a sauce that rides the perfect balance between richness and lightness. Its no wonder - the pasta is made on the premises. I followed it up with strawberry pannacotta (yes real strawberries whipped up in the pannacotta) and the most perfect bean to cup illy espresso I have had since my last trip to Italy!
This is going to be one of those great transformations and additions to downtown LA!!

I absolutely love this place. I have been going here with my family for years. Their food is really delicious and the service is by far the best I have received. They always remember who we are when we come to the restaurant and they even know my dad's order!

Average food and service
by kdbriggs
In my quest to find the best diner, I tried this nearby grinder. They have devoted customers- I guess you just have to like the way they make their food because I didn't. I went on Friday morning- which is bad, Any morning at these kind of restaurants will be busy and the wait long. Whatever their signature food is, I didn't find it. Pancakes were too dry and brown. Omelette didn't have enough cheese. I'm sure there's something yummy here- I just don't have the desire to find out.
