Great service, great food and a wonderful bar. This is a gem of a restaurant that you should go to if you are in the area. We have been multiple times and every time it is a great experience. The baby artichokes salad and the grilled peach salads were great. The branzino was very fresh and perfectly cooked. My date has pasta with pheasant and mushrooms and he said it was incredible.

I just had one of the best not just Italian meals in all the times I’ve been to Los Angeles, but, certainly, one of the best meals. I get to LA about once a month and I’m constantly looking for new in different places to eat. Being of Italian ethnicity and growing up in the restaurant business, I am very VERY picky when it comes to Italian food. Everything about my meal was perfect. My server, Mitch, was friendly and attentive. My water glass was never empty, my food was delivered hot and fresh, and a slightly special request was accommodated with pleasantness rather than frustration.
The pasta I had (Zuppa Di Mare) was full of vibrant flavor, and the noodles themselves were homemade and cooked perfectly.
The portion, although slightly on the smaller side, was still plenty.
The real treat, though, was the fresh cannoli for dessert. It was spectacular.
If you haven’t eaten at Drago, you owe it to yourself to try it.

Spectacular presentations. Had the Pulpo and the arugula salad. Sterling service, close to music center, wide choice of options. Cabernet markups a bit high. Overall a great experience

I took my parents here for lunch and the decor / vibe is pretty relaxed with an excellent wine cellar that has see through glass. The bar looks pretty cool too, but we took the outdoor seating on a nice sunny but not too hot day.
I started off getting a coffee and it was great. I ordered the Caesar salad, soup of the day(Cream Cauliflower), Ravioli di ricotta & the Branzino. The Salad and soup were excellent. The ravioli was great but the best was the Branzino. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I highly recommend that dish. The panna cotta and tiramisu were both great to cap off an excellent lunch! Excellent customer service by staff and our server Jose, complements to the chef too.
Just be aware that on site is only valet/self park at indoor garage. On the day I went both are the same price to park, but luckily Drago Centro validates to reduce the price of parking significantly.

Had a business dinner here, very accommodating to changing reservation numbers.
Really great food - the most interesting was the octopus (picture attached) which was cooked to perfection. All the other dishes were good but to be expected for a restaurant of this caliber.
Removing 2 stars because our server wasn’t the greatest, and disappeared at the end of the meal (I guess because he didn’t have to work for it because of the mandatory 20% tip on large parties) - had to hunt down a bartender to pay my bill.
Definitely ruined the experience and would probably not bring other guests here again in the future.

This is the fancy Italian restaurant at downtown LA. The ambience of the restaurant is so nice and cozy. The service is so good. The food was excellent as well as the beverages and wine.

An amazing restaurant. Right in the heart of the financial district. Everything was perfect. The ambiance, the service and the food. The wine list was amazing and could be paired perfectly to the menu items. The true flavor of Sicilian cuisine can be experienced here. Our server was absolutely fantastic. We got the Caesar salad and the octopus for our starters. Both fantastic, but the true star were the mains. We will make a habit of visiting every time we are back in LA. Despite the restaurant being fully booked, nobody and nothing missed a beat… absolutely superb!
