- HHeatherVIPChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOne of our favourite restaurants in the area. Jamie was as charming and knowledgeable as ever! My only note is they tend to dress salads heavily. Ask for dressing the side of you prefer lighter dressed salad. Bravo Drago!More infoDrago CentroPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.7
- JJenniferVIPLos Angeles •16 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoA solid experience in every way. Beautiful atmosphere, delicious and unique dishes, excellent service, and decent prices. Eli served us at the bar, she was warm and professional. We had a carpaccio with balsamic pearls that burst with flavor. Pizza dough was yeasty and flavorful, pasta fresh and silky. Good Italian wines by the glass with a decent pour and reasonable price point. I’ll be back.More infoSettecento DTLAPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.6

- KkristanLos Angeles •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe visited for our wedding anniversary on a Sunday evening. There were couples and families dining and the noise level was moderate. The food was amazing, we ordered a pizza to share, risotto, and rib eye, plus few desserts. Everything was delicious and the servers were thoughtful and timed everything well. There is a large scale mural in the restaurant and we had a terrific few of it. We would definitely go again during the day for the food and to see the mural once again.More infoRossobluPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.6
