Nardò Culver City is one of the best italian restaurants in Los Angeles for group dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Culver City.

Nardò arrives in Culver City carrying something most Italian restaurants on the Westside only approximate: actual regional specificity.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Nardò arrives in Culver City carrying something most Italian restaurants on the Westside only approximate: actual regional specificity. The ownership is Pugliese, the pizza team is from Napoli, and the recipes trace back 150 years — meaning the menu isn't a greatest-hits tour of the Italian-American canon but rather a focused argument for southern Italy's distinct culinary identity. That argument lands cleanly in a neighborhood that has grown comfortable with restaurants that take their sourcing and lineage seriously. The spacious outdoor seating opens the room to Culver City's walkable streetscape, and the modern trattoria aesthetic — warm lighting, unfussy but considered — suits the price point without feeling like it's compensating for anything. This is the kind of place a Puglia-obsessed Angeleno brings out-of-town guests when they want to skip the explanation and just show. The fettuccine al cinghiale — fettuccine with wild boar — is the dish most cited as the anchor of the pasta program, and it represents exactly what the kitchen is arguing for: a preparation that needs ingredient quality and generational technique to justify itself, not just a sauce any competent line cook could produce. The Zuppa di Pesce, a seafood stew of clams, calamari, shrimp, and fresh fish in a light spicy tomato broth, speaks to the coastal Pugliese pantry and is consistently noted as one of the menu's more expressive plates. The Branzino — butterflied, served with seasonal vegetables and salmoriglio, that sharp, oil-forward herb and garlic sauce native to southern Italy — is the kind of dish that rewards anyone who orders past the pizza menu. And that pizza menu has been ranked among the top 30 in the country by 50 Top Pizza, recognition that tracks with what Neapolitan-trained chefs bring to a wood-fired oven. The fried pizza — a calzone fried rather than baked, drawing on a Neapolitan street-food tradition — is the order regulars use to test whether newcomers are paying attention; it's one of the more distinctive items on a menu that already has range. Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., which makes Nardò a rare Italian option for the morning hours in this part of the city. If you're booking a table, the outdoor section is worth requesting specifically — the exposure to the neighborhood is part of what distinguishes the experience from a windowless dining room. Come for the pasta, stay curious about the fish, and don't leave without interrogating the fried pizza situation.
