Our Story begins with the late Mamma Loredana. Mamma believes you should never underestimate the power of a home-cooked Italian meal. After many years of hard work from her kitchen in Italy, Mamma Loredana has brought her original recipes to the southern California area. In March of 2010, Mamma Loredana with the help of her family opened a true and traditional Italian Osteria, Osteria Mamma. You can expect the true taste of the Veneto region when you eat with us. From the moment you walk into Osteria Mamma, you're part of the family.

A hidden gem! The food is to die for and the service is amazing. All the pasta dishes I've posted here are also kid approved!!! Generous serving of each dish so we didn't get a chance to try any desserts, but I'm told they are also really tasty

True fine dining. Excellent food and service. Slightly sad someone beat us to their last Tiramisu as that was the top of the list item I wanted to have there :(. The other coffee desert was good consolation. Would highly recommend for vegetarians! Parking will be on the street and we could find one right in front of the restaurant.

Best Italian food in Los Angeles!! Been coming here for years. All authentic and delicious. Great prices and very nice environment. It's casual and yet you can still dress up. Super perfect for a date night or a night with family/friends. The staff is friendly and makes you want to keep coming back. I love a place in the neighborhood that gives you a sense of community!...

My favorite Italian restaurant in Los Angeles! I've been here several times. The service is exceptional! This time we had the Bisteccona and Pappardelle Verdi. The steak had a unique and distinct flavor. Cooked to perfection. The Pappardelle were perfectly al dente and in a delicious creamy sauce. The wine bottle we ordered was amazing....

"Wow" was the most repeated word of the evening. We visited thanks to Buzzfeed's great show "Worth It" - but wow the flavors were explosive, yet well melded into each dish. If we lived in the area we'd immediately become regulars. Grilled calamari salad - great lemon dressing on the arugula, beautiful large portion of calamari. Amatrciana - tomato Smokey deliciousness...
