Right off the bat, one of the best dining experiences I?ve ever had! Incredibly delicious food served in very generous portions.... From the calamari fritti to the chicken parmigiana, everything was superb. Very intimate setting with a ?come as you are? vibewhich in my opinion, makes for a great atmosphere. Read more
Went to Dan Tana for the first time. Portions are huge. I split the chicken parm with my friend. Service felt like little Italy... Mulberry street in nyc. If you are vegan, options are very limited. Food was good but this place has lots of history and itwon?t change for good or bad. Fried ravioli and chopped salad were good. Linguine with clams was really good too. Cheesecakeslapped. Read more
When you walk into Dan Tana?s you feel like you?re going back in time to old Hollywood. The decor, the bar, and the waiters... uniforms all feel like you?re stepping back into what Hollywood used to be decades ago. You?ll never expect to find this littlerestaurant that?s been around for ages in West Hollywood. Firstly let me say. Make sure to reserve! At least a week in advance.I booked on a Monday for Saturday and the earliest reservation they had was 9pm. We got there and were greeted by a veryfriendly lady who actually managed to get us seated pretty quickly outside. Let me say however, if this is your first visit toDan Tana?s you definitely want to sit inside. That?s where the atmosphere and experience is. We went back in and were told we?dhave to wait a little while to get a table inside which is fine. We got these amazing martinis at the bar and waited for ourtable. It was definitely worth the wait. The portions at this place are big but still delicious. We loaded up on all the carbshaving Penne Arabiata as well as getting the lasagne and cheesy garlic bread. We also got a wonderful bottle of red wine. Theserver was very quick and efficient. When he was pouring us wine he realized the bottle was already empty and so ended up comingback with a full glass of red for one of my friends who didn?t get a top up, and didn?t charge us for it. A very nice touch toend the night. I?m sure their desert is amazing too but we were way too full after dinner. I will definitely be returning tothis beautiful chic restaurant. Please never change.

Opened in 1964, Dan Tana?s is a LA landmark that has seen countless diners, celebrities, and travelers over its 58 year run. A... yellow house on Santa Monica Boulevard it?s hard to miss and really stands out from everything surrounding it. It?s known forit?s classic, old world Italian food in a come as you are casual setting. It feels like you?re being transported back in time tothe 1960s or early 70s, but in the good way. Parking options will be valet or metered street parking; there?s no free parking inthis part of town or at least nowhere close. It was packed tonight and even though we made reservations a month ago we had towait a bit to be seated so making reservations ahead of time is suggested. Also important to note it?s VERY loud on the insideso a private chat will be next to impossible. It?s known to have the best Chicken Parmesan in LA so of course I had to try thatas my entree this evening and it was absolutely delicious. The portion is huge with tons of bubbling and melting cheese on top.For my starter I chose the Caesar salad (which is also known to be the best in LA. I personally don?t think it is although itwas very tasty. Overall expensive @ $28 but worth trying once) and the Tomato & Onions. I enjoyed the Tomato & Onions more thanthe salad and would definitely order it again. The onions were spicy and delicious and the tomatoes were large andjuicy. Overall a great meal in a casual and loud setting. I can see why it?s famous. This would not be the best place for abusiness dinner or a date due to the small size and volume, but it?s a great spot for dinner with friends or family. The bar wasespecially busy tonight and it?s situated directly in the middle so I would suggest not sitting at the booths near the bar oryou?ll have people?s butts head level to you as you?re eating.
