Cesare Ristorante

My daughter and I had the privilege to dine at this restaurant, and I have to say that it was five stars all across. First off the gentleman who I believe to be the owner was exceptionally kind and very hospitable with us. He was attentive and promptly helped us with a smile. The food was cooked to order and was some of the best authentic Italian I have had in a very long time we ate it in the patio area, which worked out great as there is plenty of shade, and our small dog was able to hang out with us as he waited patiently for us to endure ourselves with this amazing food. I'm so happy that we found this place and we will 1000%. Be sure to return as soon as we can!!

Great service and atmosphere. We stopped by for the happy hour - food and drinks were delicious! Amazing pinsa, meatballs and tuna tartar, and their chocolate mousse… out of this world. THE BEST!!!

Came here last night for the first time. Had been wanting to try it out after walking by last week, and also hearing the owner Cesare used to own Madeo. Was greeted by Cesare and his wife Pamela, and had an incredible experience. The food was delicious -- got a salad, ravioli and branzino with tomato sauce. Our waiter Gilberto was so nice to, we really vibed. Said he's been working for the family for 25 years. Overall, super grateful we found this place. Will definitely be back

Dining at Cesare feels like stepping back into my study abroad days in Italy. From the moment you sit down, the owners personally greet each table, welcoming you like family in a way that immediately sets the tone—warm, unpretentious, and genuinely Italian. That feeling continues with the small details, like the olives and generous shards of Parmesan placed on the table as you’re seated, just as you’d find in a neighborhood restaurant. The food itself is where Cesare truly shines. The ravioli—famously highlighted by Forbes—is delicate and deeply comforting, while the grilled calamari is perfectly tender with a subtle smokiness. The shrimp scampi is rich and mouthwatering without feeling heavy, and the pasta Bolognese delivers that slow-simmered depth that only comes from doing things properly. What makes it all even more special is that every dish is made to order. Nothing feels rushed or pre-prepared—each plate arrives with intention, reinforcing that same slower, more meaningful pace of dining I remember from Italy. Cesare doesn’t try to reinvent Italian food—it simply honors it. And in doing so, it brings you right back to the kind of meals that linger long after the table is

Wow, is this place great. They have the best Italian food in Beverly Grove. There is nothing not to love. It is family owned and I think a guy named Cesare is the chef and owner. He is adorable. We saw him there. What a nice guy. This place is stunning inside and out. It is so very comfortable. Make a reservation, this place is now super popular. It is fine dinning and expensive so get over that. The service is just great. They have the best staff that go out of their way to keep you happy and comfortable. They have the best drinks--we had a couple. My photos did not come out well so I called them and they said we have two of what you had and you can use. I did. Better than mine could be. There is nothing not to love here. Their lamb chops are so great their veal scaloppini is great. We love their pasta and salads. Even their figs are great. Go there.
