Dan Tana's

This is a historic Italian restaurant where famous Hollywood celebrities go. The owner Dan Tana's name was used as the screen name of Robert Urich as Dan Tanna a detective on Vega$. That night we saw Tony Soprano having dinner. I restricted pictures out of respect for the guests. Long wait despite reservations (no space without), but they have great and reasonably priced drinks. We shared several orders family style, the Veal Milanese, Spaghetti Marinara, Chicken Parmigiana and Caesar salad were excellent. Old world distinguished and attentive service. Awesome place to go.

By far one of the best dining experiences I have ever had in Los Angeles or anywhere for that matter. From the moment you step in, you are treated like family. If you are lucky enough to get a reservation, your life will change forever and for the better. Live a little bit and order the garlic cheese bread.

Food was decent (An Italian restaurant with bulk supply butter rectangles, basic bread and spaghetti, but delicious fried ravioli) Chicken Parmigiano and Lasagna were delicious, but very pricey. The golden ticket is the atmosphere. Tables crammed close together in a loud friendly restaurant with wonderful staff... and customers. It felt like we were eating dinner at an Italian family's house... and that part made the cost worth it.

Our trio recently dined at this Italian gem in West Hollywood, and it was a comforting journey into classic Italian cuisine. We decided to try the chicken Parmesan, eggplant Parmesan, and lasagna. It's worth noting that these dishes, while tasty, shared a common theme of sauce and cheese cover. It's hard not to enjoy that combination, but we were hoping for a bit more variety and uniqueness in our choices. We were seated outside, if you're seeking the full experience, I'd recommend heading inside. The interior exudes that charming old Hollywood Italian vibe, complete with cozy booths, even though it can get a bit noisy. The bathroom situation was plain gross , with outdated and not-so-pleasant facilities. On a positive note, the service was friendly and efficient. In essence, if you're seeking familiar Italian comfort food, this place in West Hollywood delivers. However, don't expect the dishes to be particularly unique or special. They're good but not standout. Opt for an indoor table for the complete ambiance, and be prepared for the bathroom situation. Overall, it's a decent stop for classic Italian fare in the area.

What a place! Getting a reservation at Dan Tana’s is a challenge for sure, but once you’re in, you’re good! I love that they still use old school reservation book. It’s fun to see. The food is so delicious. The service is friendly and attentive. The place itself is very unique and can’t be found anywhere else. They’ve opened up the back area, so they have outdoor dining options now.

Tana's is the place to go for a great dinner, tasty cocktails, and maybe even rub elbows with a Hollywood notable. It's a small place, so make sure to make a reservation. The prices are a bit on the high-side, but the portions are large (about the size of two entrees). The cocktails are well-made, and delicious as well. I ranked Service 4 stars, since the first night we went was spectacular, but the second night the service was polar opposite, very underwhelming. (Figuring that was an anomoly) We ordered the Pimento and Sardines as an appetizer, and if you've never tried it, it's a must try. (It's large enough that you could conceivably order it as an entree) The Chicken Parmesan is the house specialty, but it's a heavy dish for a warm night. We had the Chicken Marsala which was fantastic, and the Whitefish which stole the show. The side of pasta with the Bolognese sauce is a great kicker to add bang to your buck. The Montepulciano was perfect to go along with dinner after having a Martini pre-meal. We will definitely return for dinner and drinks the next time we're in Hollywood! Cheers🍸

A group of us went to Dan Tana’s before a show. We made reservations the week before. We used the valet parking for convenience and we didn’t see any available street parking. Valet parking was $16, not including tip. The inside of Dan Tana’s has the vibe of a classic Italian restaurant your parents would take you to as a kid. The decor has not changed, nor should it. It’s classic! The restaurant is divided into two rooms. You enter into the bar/dining room. Our table was in the room behind the bar. There is also a small patio for outdoor dining. The maître d’ let us know our table was booked after us so we couldn’t take too long after dinner, which was fine because we had a show to go to anyway. The waiter was wearing a tuxedo, but he kept telling us it wasn’t a fancy place. The waiter was fantastic. He spent a lot of time talking to the group, recommending dishes, and making our experience there enjoyable. First we ordered drinks. The drinks were strong. They were quick to take our orders. I’m not sure if they are always that attentive, or they just wanted us to leave on time. Either way, we loved the service. Every meal came with a side of spaghetti. We ordered the classics: chicken Parmesan, Caesar salad, New York steak, and a few others. Everyone loved their meal. We also ordered a few desserts. Everything was delicious. I did take a peek at the patio before we left. There were a few tables outside but it was a hot summer day so no one was dining out there. If your looking for an old school Italian restaurant, this is your place.
