While I, along with the guests in my party, liked many of the dishes at the restaurant, I'll admit that not everything was perfect for me.
While I thought the caliber of service was high, I found the service to be a little slow and the cost, portion sizes, and overall flavors were not all that different from other upscale restaurants where I've dined and, in my opinion, had more interesting experiences. However, that's not to say that this wasn't an extremely solid, sophisticated meal. It was.
The ambiance and beautiful light-filled terrace alone are enough of a draw to bring me back to Gucci Osteria Beverly Hills, and that's before even mentioning the crowd.
To me, the restaurant is really more about the total experience and is right for diners who see-and-be-seen type of places.
Next time, I would skip the dinner tasting menu and go for lunch instead when the à la carte menu is offered and share a few dishes with a smaller group.
I would also ideally coordinate my next visit around the holiday season, especially after seeing Chef Agazzi unbox this incredible homemade panettone, the Italian sweet bread that originated in Milan, on his Instagram feed.
