Delicious authentic Italian food. We enjoyed everything from the appetizers to the entrees, and the desserts as well. The service was fantastic, our server was very attentive. It was our first time here, and I am glad that we found Caffe Pinguini. We’ll be back!

Loved the ambiance and vibe of the place. Food was good but the Burrata was over priced for the quantity.

One of my best dinning experiences. The soup is so good. Service perfect. I wishI didn’t live 3,000 miles away. Dessert worth flying here renting a car just for that.

We were in California from Canada for our 25th wedding anniversary and we are so fortunate we picked such a great restaurant. Valeri made our experience fantastic this young man was awesome together with the rest of the great staff that understand great customer service. The food was excellent and great value in the portions. If we lived here this for sure would be our go to place for excellent Italian food. See you when we come back in the future!!!

We stopped there on a whim before our flight out of LAX. So glad we did. Food is outstanding. Would rank it up there with any Italian food, or any restaurant, we have ever had. Great staff. Nice environment. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely put it on list any time we are in the area.

Opens at 5pm (on fridays) and usually gets busy about an hour after opening. We had a bit of everything they had suggested since it was our first time there and frankly it was not what we expected. Over all the service was great, the staff was attentive & friendly but Unfortunately the food was not worth what we paid. The noodles were quite chewy, slightly under cooked even, tossed in a dried tomato paste like “sauce” with no garnish or “fresh ingredient” taste. We ordered two types of soups of which both tasted of the same broth, definitely not of fresh chicken broth but of generic carton grocery store broth. I would however recommend the pizza with peppers, mushrooms & sausage and a salad which actually tasted house-made fresh to order. Wine selection was great but the dessert could have been better for the price.
