Master Critic Review
Tre Lune Hollywood
7.7
A Montecito transplant that stages tableside cacio e pepe finished in a full cheese wheel—a specific, showy technique that anchors an otherwise straightforward Italian menu of handmade pastas and classic fritti. The fireplace-lined sidewalk patio is the seat to request; the main dining room runs echoey and warehouse-bare, working against the date-night positioning. With only 48 reviews it is still proving itself in Hollywood, but the original location's reputation and a 75% five-star ratio suggest the kitchen is translating well.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tableside Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, Gnocchi Tartufati, Tiramisu

Who should go: Date night couples and Italian purists seeking old-school charm.
When to visit: Happy hour (3-5pm) for cocktails; early week dinners for intimacy.
What to order: Start with the Frittura Mista, the tableside cacio e pepe is essential, close with tiramisu — skip the pizza.
Insider tip: Request the back patio by the fireplace — it's quieter and more intimate than the main dining room.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes — warm, cozy ambiance with soft lighting and white tablecloths strikes the right balance between sophisticated and relaxed. Multiple seating zones let you set the mood: request the intimate back dining room for quiet conversation, or grab a spot near the dramatic fireplace on the patio for something more memorable. The 14-seat bar area is livelier if you want energy without formality. Service is consistently described as attentive but never intrusive. Noise level is moderate — the main dining room can get echoey when full, so the back room or patio are your best bets for easy conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Walk-ins are welcome and you can usually get seated on weekday lunches and early weeknight dinners without a wait. For weekend dinners, book 3-5 days ahead — this spot draws a steady Hollywood crowd. If you want patio or fireplace seating specifically, call ahead at (323) 366-2030 to request it. The bar seats 14 and is a solid walk-in backup when the dining room is full.
Is it kid-friendly? Moderately — the menu leans classic Italian with wood-fired pizzas and pastas that appeal to younger eaters, but there is no dedicated kids menu listed. The casual-elegant atmosphere is tolerant of families, especially during weekday lunch or early dinner before the crowd picks up. The quieter back dining area works well for families. Call ahead to confirm high chair availability if you need one. Better suited for kids comfortable sitting through a full-service meal than for toddlers.
Is it good for groups? Yes — the roomy layout accommodates larger parties, and the back dining area works well for groups wanting a quieter section away from the main room. No dedicated private dining room is advertised, so for parties over 8, call well ahead to discuss seating arrangements. The shareable Italian menu (pizzas, pastas, antipasti) is naturally group-friendly. Book at least a week ahead for groups of 6 or more on weekends.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes — a sidewalk patio anchored by a dramatic fireplace. The patio is a standout feature of the Hollywood location, offering an al fresco dining experience with real ambiance rather than just tables on a sidewalk. The fireplace makes it usable on cooler LA evenings. Patio seats are popular, so mention your preference when booking. Dog-friendliness not confirmed — call to check.
Best For
Better for: The all-day bar is the standout—one of the few spots in the neighborhood to drink a negroni at 1pm; also strong for date nights and celebrations in the intimate patio setting
Consider Alternatives If: You're prioritizing the food over the scene—critics found the pasta and pizza underwhelming for the price point, with a $44 lobster pasta notably lacking
