E Baldi, Beverly Hills CA

Terrible and inattentive service. Water was not refilled no were we checked on. Our main meal still has not arrived and we having be waiting for over 1.5hrs. Cheesy music.

Simple over priced Italian food.
Food did taste great
It’s not Giorgio Baldi that’s for sure

The food was amazing! The service was a tiny bit slow but our waiter was amazing. Our waiter’s name was Francesco, he had an amazing personality and he had very funny humor which was quite comforting! Overall totally recommend, it was worth going!

Served me an overcooked branzino totally mushy, not grilled as ordered. Asked to return it and do it over. The waiter literally yelled at me arguing non stop saying it was good! Rather frightening an impolite attitude. Would have left if my husband was not eating his meal.
Waiter finally asked me if I wanted something else. I chose the langoustines (really sampis) at $75.00 for 6 small ones. Outrageous.
The cook is not an Italian cook. He has no idea what is Italian food. The prices have no reason to be so high for such mediocre food and frightening waiters.

This has been one of my favorite Italian restaurants for years, but perhaps it’s because of their popularity or because they are simply took busy, but the quality of the service and the food has become inconsistent.

On my most recent visit, the service was very slow and inattentive and one of the entrees was very poor. We informed the server who curtly apologized but was too busy to pay any real attention. We reached out to management and received no response.

On the visit before that, the service was good but again one of the dishes was not something we wanted to eat. At least that server took notice and seemed to be concerned.

With inflation and the extremely high cost of dining out the service and food should be consistent and good, at least most of the time. E Baldi is very expensive but has gained a significant following of affluent customers so perhaps they don’t care?

Fine dining at its finest. Compliments to the chef, everything is made with love and had such great taste. I had the meatballs to start, melted in your mouth and made to a perfection. The tomato sauce so light and flavorful. Then I had the sweet corn agnolotti (mascarpone) with the truffle butter. You have to do the scarpetta with the bread. Of course the bread is fresh and they give you a classic and whole grain bread in each basket. And to conclude the small meal, I had a nice chocolate mousse. Homemade whip cream and fluffiness of the chocolate mixed with the raspberry jam at the bottom. Indescribable. 10 out of 5! I could eat everything on the menu! Service is excellent and the waiters are great characters as well.

A really delicious dinner, although not as good as the original location in northwest Santa Monica near the PCH. That location being Giorgio Baldi. This is the Beverly Hills and smaller location. Tonight was a very tasty dinner, although for the price I would recommend going to their original location in Santa Monica. Tonight I started with the Beef Carpaccio, which was very good, although not as good as the other location. For my entrée, I chose the Veal Tortellini in Veal Broth, and it was actually very good, albeit a small portion.

The Positives: the food quality and the taste are top-notch. They also have a lot of great options on the menu and our server, as well as rest of the staff we encountered, we’re all very polite. I also really like the atmosphere of this place, it’s classy and casual at the same time.

The Negatives: it is overly pricey, I am sure due to the cost of the rent being in this part of Beverly Hills. Each of the dishes could definitely be less expensive, also the portion sizes are not very large. The Beef Carpaccio @ Giorgio Baldi is one of the best I have ever had, but this version at e Baldi wasn’t nearly as delicious. The restaurant is also very small on the inside, so the tables are very close together. Conversations between tables easily overlap and moving around in the restaurant feels kind of like you’re inside an airplane. Also, there is a 10% service charge on top of all bills due to it being located in Beverly Hills, which is definitely a negative. Finally parking in this area is not the easiest. We were able to find metered parking a block away, but if that’s not possible your options will be valet parking for $12 or a paid lot close by.

Overall a nice dinner, but I would recommend going to their original location instead.

Very elegant and precise service. Delicious entrees and beautiful deserts. Will visit again.

Beware this Tourist trap. Fancy prices. Ordinary ambiance. Less than average food quality. Skimpy orders. Had pasta with langostinos. Received a plate of overcooked pasta and one very little langostino cut in half. Hardly 2 bites. The main courses were brought to our table literally as the first course dishes were being cleared from the table. Bread put on table with no olive oil and no butter. We asked for oil and balsamic- and we were charged $5 for a thimbleful of balsamic. Very ordinary food. Not an enjoyable dining experience. Not recommended.
