This place offers a great choice of entrees and wine. Their traditional pizzas are minimalistic compared to other places, yet incredibly tasty thanks to their perfect dough and sauce. Make sure you do not miss the "Sicilian donuts" for dessert! They also provide valet parking.

Not my favorite, but not bad. – Pretty good Happy Hour but way too crowded and impersonal. The bar area is small and you have to stay there for the happy hour deals, thought that was weird. Service was average. prices were good and the Pizzas were great.

Can't Find a Reason To Go Back – Let's start with the positve. The bar area is pretty comfortable , gets a nice crowd and the place has a generally nice appearance. The bar area is set up so you can have after work office get togethers and all sit together. BUT, the food just isn't ... what's the word ???... Good. I've tried seafood, salads, pasta and apps and i haven't found anything i would order a second time. My friend even got sick from what we believe was bad crab. Except for the salads, the food doesn't seem to taste ... read more

All the pretense with none of the quality. – I don't know what it is that people see in this place. I've been there a number of times, usually for business dinners, and I have been uniquely unimpressed each time. The menu is overly ambitious, with too much window dressing for the core of each dish. Prices are very high given what they wind up delivering on the table. The wait staff is garden-variety, unimpressive, and generally exhibits "attitude" towards the customers. Give this one a pass. They've figured out the pretense ... read more

Utterly disappointed! – We've four of us, ordering a variety of appetizers and main courses. All the dishes were no good. The taste of all dishes was very strong, probably because of all the spices and sauce added. That covers all the fresh taste of the food. It turns out the Paella was too sour (too many lemon pieces), the soup was too spicy (it's supposed a mushroom soup!), and the fish and scallop tasted without any freshness. Even the wine that we ordered was very disappointing. Overall, we think that this restaurant is ... read more

Happy hour rocks! – Palomino is great, especially as a bar that's a little more upscale but doesn't have to be pricey: their happy hour makes that possible. The food is suprisingly tasty- the gorgonzola fries and the tomato basil pizza were seasoned perfectly and had just the right amount of salt to please any "drunchies" that may have occured as a result of the $2 glasses of wine. Plus, it has great ambiance: low lighting makes it comfortable and relaxed even during the evening bustle.

Great Happy Hour! – This is hands down one of the top bars in the Westside. Dinner is not too bad either and the price is reasonable. I happen to order Salmon often and it is always cooked perfectly to order. One of the few restaurants in Westwood (if not all of LA) which is open late. I tend to make an appearance once a week. Always a happening place, even when we are the first ones at the bar at 4PM! Service is always first rate and with a smile. Happy hour prices are excellent. Don't miss this bar/restaurant.

okay food, terrible service – three friends and i recently visited this establishment for dinner. i have previously been here for drinks and it was fine. i had never had dinner here and had no bad expereince from my past visit so i had no objection when someone suggested we dine here. while we were seated promptly even without reservations (it was 8:30 pm), everything went down hill from there. we were informed that the oven was broken so my friend (who was visiting from out of town) was told she could not have the chicken s... read more

Awesome Bar – We visit Palomino regularly, it is one of the best places in westwood. The bar, can't rave enough about it! everything is delish from pom-martini to selection of colorful mojitos, wish they would bring back the cran-drop. Food is wonderful! appetizer we usually get is the sampler, it has oven rosted garlic with Brie incredible. Try the almond crusted scallops , it is wonderful. Love this place, and the manager soooooo nice and accommodating.
