About La Parolaccia Osteria

Family-owned since 2004 by Roman expats, this Bluff Park gem serves the real thing: hand-rolled pasta, blistered wood-fired pizza, and guanciale-heavy carbonara in a candlelit room that feels lifted from a side street in Trastevere. A 2024 James Beard semifinalist and one of the best Italian restaurants in all of LA County.
