One of the finest establishments for top-notch Italian fare is merely a stone's throw from the Staples Center. This lovely dining room has a barrel-vaulted ceiling, dramatic chandeliers, a massive mirrored bar, and large, comfy booths done in warm orangey tones. The menu includes house-made pastas, fresh seafood, and imported delicacies. This stunning experience is superb for business diners and romantic evenings or to glam up an evening at a Lakers game.
