Radici Hermosa Beach Earns OpenTable Diners’ Choice Award for Third Consecutive Year

Beloved Italian Restaurant Recognized for Excellence in Food, Service, and Atmosphere

HERMOSA BEACH, CA – December 22, 2024 – Radici, the acclaimed Italian restaurant in the heart of Hermosa Beach, has been honored with OpenTable’s prestigious Diners’ Choice Award for the third year in a row. The recognition, based on verified diner reviews and ratings, celebrates restaurants that consistently deliver exceptional dining experiences across the nation.

The award marks a remarkable three-year winning streak for Radici (2023, 2024, and 2025), underscoring the restaurant’s unwavering commitment to authentic Italian cuisine, genuine hospitality, and creating memorable dining experiences for both locals and visitors to the South Bay area.

A Neighborhood Gem with Deep Italian Roots

True to its name—”radici” means “roots” in Italian—the restaurant has built its reputation on honoring Italian culinary traditions, family values, and time-honored cooking techniques passed down through generations. Since opening its doors in Hermosa Beach, Radici has become a beloved fixture in the local dining scene, offering a genuine taste of Italy’s rich culinary heritage just steps from the Pacific Ocean.

The restaurant’s philosophy centers on simple, soulful cooking that celebrates the seasons and showcases the best ingredients available. Every dish tells a story of Italian tradition, from the carefully sourced produce to the artisanal preparation methods that require patience, skill, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

The menu features handmade pastas crafted daily in-house, wood-fired flatbreads with creative seasonal toppings, and signature dishes prepared with fresh ingredients that pay homage to the rustic, authentic cooking found across the Italian countryside. Whether guests are savoring delicate hand-rolled gnocchi, enjoying a perfectly balanced Negroni at the bar, or sharing small plates with friends, the experience consistently transports diners to a trattoria in the heart of Italy.

What Sets Radici Apart as a Three-Time Winner

The OpenTable Diners’ Choice Award is determined entirely by diner feedback—from guests who have booked, dined, and reviewed their experiences on the platform. Unlike industry awards determined by critics or panels, this recognition reflects the authentic opinions of everyday diners who choose to share their experiences. Winning for three consecutive years is a rare achievement that speaks to Radici’s consistency and the genuine connection it has forged with its community.

“This recognition reflects the passion and dedication of our entire team,” said a representative from Radici. “We’re honored that our guests have chosen to celebrate with us year after year and share their experiences with others. This award belongs to everyone who has made Radici part of their dining tradition—from our loyal regulars who visit weekly to first-time guests who trust us with their special celebrations.”

Radici’s three-year recognition highlights several key strengths that have resonated with diners:

Authentic Italian Cuisine: The restaurant’s commitment to rustic yet refined dishes showcases seasonal ingredients and traditional preparation methods. From house-made pastas to wood-fired specialties, every dish reflects a deep respect for Italian culinary heritage while embracing the fresh, local ingredients available in Southern California.

Inviting Coastal Atmosphere: Radici perfectly captures the essence of Hermosa Beach dining with its stylish yet relaxed ambiance. The restaurant’s design creates an intimate, welcoming environment that feels equally appropriate for a romantic date night, a family celebration, or a casual dinner with friends. The space honors Italian warmth and conviviality while embracing the laid-back coastal lifestyle that defines the South Bay.

Exceptional Hospitality: The Radici team treats hospitality as an art form, with attentive, warm service that makes every guest feel like family. Staff members are knowledgeable about the menu, passionate about the cuisine, and genuinely invested in ensuring each visit exceeds expectations. This dedication to genuine hospitality has created a loyal following of guests who return not just for the food, but for the entire experience.

Curated Beverage Program: The restaurant’s thoughtfully selected wine list features Italian varietals alongside carefully chosen bottles from premier wine regions around the world. The bar program showcases seasonal craft cocktails that complement the menu, including classic Italian aperitivos and innovative signature drinks that reflect both tradition and creativity.

A Team United by Passion

Behind every great restaurant is a team of passionate individuals who treat their craft with dedication and artistry. The Radici team brings a unique blend of warmth, professionalism, and creativity to every aspect of the dining experience—whether they’re in the kitchen hand-rolling gnocchi, carefully plating each dish, mixing craft cocktails, or greeting guests with a genuine smile.

“Our team is the heart of Radici,” the restaurant shared. “From our chefs who arrive early each morning to prepare fresh pasta dough, to our servers who take the time to learn guests’ preferences and make thoughtful recommendations, to our bartenders who craft each cocktail with care—everyone plays an essential role in creating the experience that has earned us this recognition three years running.”

This three-year winning streak is a tribute to the hardworking chefs, servers, bartenders, managers, and behind-the-scenes staff who make Radici what it is: a beloved gem in the Hermosa Beach dining scene. Their collective commitment to excellence, consistency, and genuine care for every guest has transformed Radici from a neighborhood restaurant into a destination that draws diners from throughout the South Bay and beyond.

Beyond serving exceptional Italian cuisine, Radici has become an integral part of the Hermosa Beach community. The restaurant has built relationships with local suppliers, supported community events, and created a gathering place where neighbors become friends and celebrations become cherished memories.

The consistent recognition from OpenTable diners reflects not just the quality of the food and service, but the meaningful connections Radici has fostered within the community.
