Girl & the Goat Los Angeles

It’s a nice place, always busy, but do not expect anything outstanding, it’s just fine, everything is just fine, convenient if you live close by and don’t wanna cook, there is no any other reason to come here.

We discovered La Vecchia Cucina years ago when our son transferred schools. We walked along the broken sidewalk full of roots hoping we had discovered a gem. Wow, did we. We have never had a bad meal. A family favorite is the Bolognese and any seafood fra diavolo. Fettuccine Alfredo and Chicken Marsala are also big favorites. We still can't figure out the secret to their Bolognese and they are tight lipped. We frequently enjoy the calamari appetizer with marinara. The deserts look scrumptious, buy we have never had room to actually order one. The wine and cocktail list is well curated. The bar tender will make just about anything your request. The specials are always fantastic and the seafood fresh, never overcooked. The garlic and herb dipping oil gets us in trouble everytime. We simply love garlic, but need lots of bread to use all of the oil. It they bottled and sold it, we would buy a case. The service staff is on point and attentive. They work diligently to anticipate and meet your needs. The kitchen is somewhat open and close to the dining room. They are professional and always accommodate dietary needs and restrictions. Hopefully everyone benefits from this review. I promise next time to post pictures. Wishes for a happy and healthy upcoming holiday season.

The bruschetta had fresh tomatoes but not much else for flavor - some balsamic vinegar would have been better! Wine was lovely! Pasta was ok, basic.
