“Excited because I feel like I never get to write positive restaurant reviews! This place was so good - the food was delicious (Brussels sprouts, meatballs and margherita pizza). The service was really great, which is often NOT the case in LA. Our waitress and the hostess were both so sweet and helped accommodate us as walkins with a dog and a baby (we know, we know). And the place was just super cute to boot. I’m excited to come back and eat more of the menu!”

“Delicious from start to finish. We ordered the Caesar Salad, Burrata, Meatballs, Pork Belly, and tiramisu, and everything was excellent—well-prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The meatballs were especially memorable, and the tiramisu was the perfect way to end the meal. Add a little burrata to a bite of the meatballs for a perfect bite. The wine selection complemented the food beautifully. They were also very accommodating when we needed to adjust our reservation time, which we appreciated. Service struck the right balance—attentive without being overbearing. Claudia was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped make the experience even better. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered and will definitely be back.”

“Great service and the mood was very intimate. Their Brussels appetizer was so yum, not your average. We had the Marinara Pizza which was good (thin crust). However the Margarita is so delicious and filling. Their Cesar salad was another tasty treat. Parking is very limited but was able to park along the main street just a block down. We did make reservations. Thanks Wildcrust, we’re definitely coming back even though we live in the Inland Empire, you’re worth the drive 😇”

“been a long time since i really checked out highland park though my first residence after graduating college was in highland park. what a change in the scenery, especially among the shops and restaurants. if wildcrust is an example of the new places here then highland park’s future looks bright. i came here to try the pizza and it did not disappoint. there are, i think, six or seven pizzas and they are all slightly bigger than personal sizes but ideal for sharing. get two and you can share among two or three people. i went for the salame one which is more traditional but it has a slight kick to it, more flavor than heat. the crust was sourdough and i imagine it was either a coal- or wood-fired oven. thin crust, totally balanced and sublime. angelina the GM came by to check on me and convinced me to try the meatballs. they did not disappoint either. they were crispy on the outside so i imagine they were probably baked and then put onto a grill after. whatever they did, there was a ton of flavor. angelina is super warm and friendly and has a smile that makes you feel like an old friend. the place has a great neighborly feel. parking is a little challenging but a small price to pay. i will be back. what a cool find.”

“Great atmosphere inside, hospitality was friendly but a bit rushed. It was a busy Saturday night but it did kind of give the vibe of “how fast can we turn this table.” Drinks were nice and reasonably priced. We had three dishes: 1) beets appetizer. I’d skip this one. You can’t see in the photo but the beets were pickled/marinated little 1/8 inch squares. Tasted like the canned kind. The beets chips on top were A+. 2)Honeynut squash. A+++ absolutely order this. It was amazing, crispy, sweet, rich, lots of flavor. One of the best things we’ve had anywhere. 3) Salame pizza. It was good, unfortunately didn’t blow us away. The crust was OK, but the pie was ruined by the sauce in our opinion. It leaned a little ketchup tasting and wasn’t our taste.”
