We go here twice a month
This is our new favorite neighborhood restaurant on the west side. I frequently get the proscuitto and goat cheese pizza or the Scampi Curry, which is so comforting. We feel very comfortable here and even brought our daughter there when she was 6 days old. Don't miss the sorbets or lemon hazelnut cake for dessert!

Good french on West side
- Pros
- Delicious, neat ceiling, friendly staff
- Cons
- Slow to get check
Tried this tonight for the first time. The food was delicious, atmosphere neat, and service OK. It was hard to tell if the owner was just leaving us to talk or being delinquent with our check. Regardless, we'll be back again soon. The pumpkin ravioli, crabcakes, and chicken ravioli were just delicious. Tip: If you can't find street parking, park at Borders. They validate 1 hour without purchase and 4 hours with purchase.

Favorite spot in L.A.
- Pros
- Delicious food, people watching, wine
- Cons
- Smokers, wait time
This is our favorite place to relax, have a bottle of wine, and watch people, while eating delicious food. The croque monsieur is delicious, as are the french fries. Sit at the outward-facing bar and people watch or grab a nook in the corner for a romantic meal.

Yum, but crowded during peak times
- Pros
- Great menu, great soups
- Cons
- Wait time
Where else can you go and eat soup and be completely full after only finishing half a bowl? Don't miss the french onion soup, great bread, and PB&C (peanut butter and chocolate) sandwich. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there's always something yummy to eat. Be prepared to wait for a table.

Great pizza!
- Pros
- Great pizza, service
- Cons
- Food temperature lower than desired once
The more formal Ristorante is now only available for parties, but you can still check out the more casual "pizza side". This is some of the best pizza in L.A. Waitstaff is friendly and attentive. Pretty easy to find parking on nearby Melrose, Highland, and side streets. There's also valet for those that like that.

Good grub, understaffed
- Pros
- Food, friendliness
- Cons
- Understaffed/slow
Love the brunch food on weekends, especially the Sweet & Sassy Bacon. However, the place is understaffed on weekends, and service suffers. The place is friendly and homey otherwise.

Great Italian, best garlic breadsticks!
- Pros
- Delicious food, good atmosphere
- Cons
- Wait for table
This is one of our absolute favorite restaurants. We used to think it was all about C&O Trattoria for Italian, but believe it or not, Prizzi's has better garlic breadsticks! The entrees and wine are also better. I recommend the penne with goat cheese and shrimp. The only downside to this place is the wait on busy nights.

The french bread sandwiches are amazing. Be careful not to cut the roof of your mouth, though! Enjoy sitting outside in the sun. Street parking is usually easy to find on weekends if the lot is full. After, head across the street for some over-priced gelato!
