Barone’s Famous Italian Restaurant has been serving up legendary flavor since 1945. Founded by four passionate families - the Barones, the Monteleones, the Izzos, and the Arpaias - our restaurant introduced Los Angeles to its very first taste of pizza, and helped shape the city’s Italian-American food scene.

What began as a bold idea and a shared love for great food has grown into a timeless tradition. Today, Barone’s is proudly led by Tom Monteleone, son of the late Frank Monteleone: the last surviving original owner. Tom carries the torch with heart, honoring the past while looking toward the future.

From our iconic rectangular pizza to our time-honored recipes, we blend old-school charm with a fresh, modern twist. Barone’s isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a legacy, a gathering place, and a slice of L.A. history that lives on with every dish we serve.
