It has been 10 years since we were last here. The food is still outstanding. We came here on a Saturday afternoon and we were able to get in right away. The restaurant was full, but we timed it just right The food was great, starting with the Friti Misti. We then had the Caesar salad. Also good. For our mains, I had the Cacio Parpadelle with Chicken, and my wife had the Bianchi and Neri Pasta (Black and White pasta). We really enjoyed the food. The service was great and the outdoor patio was really comfortable and pleasant.
I went on the last day of Dine LA for lunch and there was no wait! I was honestly prepared for the worst. I got three courses: burratina, gnocchi with mushroom sauce, and panna cotta. We started with the free bread, which felt a little dry and flavorless, but paired with the olive oil it was a nice touch. I also paired it with the creamy and acidic burratina and pomodoro, which made it a great vesel. The gnocchi was pillowy but on the slightly heavier side. The panna cotta was my favorite — silky and not too sweet! Overall, Maccheroni Republic didn’t blow me away like I thought it would based on the recommendations, but still worth a try! Our server was very attentive and speedy.

A lively Italian spot in DTLA. Validated parking at the back is available. The staff are very friendly and they tried to be as helpful as possible, which was very nice. I enjoy the bone marrow, the salad and the risotto the most. The pastas were delicious too but a tiny too salty for me. The have indoor and outdoor seatings with strip lights, which make the vibe so appealing. Would be great for a date night :)
Front of house's hospitality was outstanding despite my inexpensive, solo dining. Fiuggi's light, soft sparkling water let my food on Center stage; even the sliced lemon on top added a volatile citrus aroma. The bread had a good contrast: thin crunchy crust, soft crumb, with good olive oil bringing it together. The spinach‑ricotta filled pasta in butter & sage is a magnificent art of gastronomy: soft, pillowy filling, butter (fat) carrying the dairy flavor. Fresh dough was thin but elastic skin, soft filling. Butter & cheese gave creaming effect. I was glad I declined the server's courtesy offer of more cheese: Parmegiano and salt perfectly finished it. The sage was aromatic, present, warm but never bitter or dominating. It was well calibrated; truly skilled. Tiramisu, my favorite dessert was very disappointing, unfortunately. The deep ceramic bowl was my style: the thermal control maintains the whipped cream's texture. But the cream was very stiff, so it stabilizes in the fridge from the productivity aspect. And there was no lady fingers but the thin sponge (it was soaked in espresso at least). I paid $12 for flavored overly whipped cream, basically. This tiramisu was definitely "Do not order item". I gave 20% tip, because everybody else's performance and execution were awesome.
This restaurant is amazing! From the staff to the atmosphere, and especially the food! Everything was as fresh and authentic as anything I've had in Italy. The biggest surprise was the flan! I always order it at restaurants and then compare it to my mom's flan, but from my first bite I had a "Ratatouille" moment where I was thrown back to my mom's kitchen as a kid and could see her smiling at me as I ate it with a big grin on my face. Can't recommend this place enough.
