Jon & Vinny's is an all-day Italian neighborhood favorite serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. James Beard Award-winning owners Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo reimagined the classic Italian red sauce of their childhoods with their rendition of the classics and a market-driven menu. Pro-tip: There's a curated wine shop housed in the back of the restaurant called helen's wines. It focuses on small production, naturally-driven, biodynamic producers at all price points. Grab a bottle to drink with dinner or take a few home.
“Honestly one of the better pasta nights we’ve had in LA lately 🍝 The rigatoni bolognese was super rich and comforting without feeling too heavy, and the pizza had that perfect crispy but still chewy crust situation going on. Also… wine + pasta + good company just never misses. AND get the mozzarella sticks!! Whew, that marina sauce! Definitely one of those spots that feels trendy but still actually delivers on the food.”
“This is my second time at Jon & Vinny’s, and it’s officially on my “must visit every time I’m in LA” list. Having parking is a huge plus, and the space is clean, bright, and comfortable. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. The pasta is definitely the highlight — simple but done extremely well. This time I had the aglio e olio and the six-hour beef bolognese, and both were excellent. One was light and flavorful, the other rich and satisfying. It’s honestly hard to go wrong here.”
“had to come here during my visit to California to see the hype as a tourist. i have to say it was so worth it. there was no wait despite it being a busy saturday. the food was great. we had the spicy fusilli and the salad pizza. both were so good. my only "nitpick" was that every time we got water, there seemed to be some kind of crumb or something in the bottle we received. but we were given one of the laurentanas which we were greatful for. good vibes, good staff, definitely check it out.”
“Just about the best pizza I've ever eaten. Had Roman Gladiator meat pizza and the salad pizza. Both were epic! Great service and lots of other dishes. Can't wait to try more. Tiny place, not for long relaxing hangs.”
“Pasta was good, I wish the portions were bigger. Cant say I get the hype, but it’s pretty good. Fun to color too lol.”
