Little Dom's is Los Feliz's go-to neighborhood trattoria

Little Dom's has been holding down Hillhurst Avenue long enough that it's woven into how Los Feliz residents think about eating out. With a 4.4 across more than 1,200 reviews, it earns that loyalty consistently, not just on a good night.

The food is Italian-American comfort done right: pasta dishes, a meatball sub worth planning around, and the kind of menu that doesn't try to impress you so much as feed you well. The room reads cozy trattoria, and there's an outdoor patio if you want to sit in the open air.

Weekend brunch pulls a crowd, so expect a wait if you show up without a plan. The cocktails are solid, which helps if you're holding a table. One thing that sets this block apart: the deli counter next door under the same roof, useful for picking up something without committing to a full sit-down meal.

At the $$ price point, it fits the neighborhood. Not a special-occasion splurge, not a quick cheap bite either. Just a reliable local spot that does what a good neighborhood restaurant is supposed to do.
