Beverly Hills

About the restaurant

We are a Venetian-inspired small plates restaurant featuring Mediterranean-influenced dishes by Chef Lior Hillel. This will be the 7th restaurant of Kronfli Brothers, a family-owned, growing group of restaurants in the Los Angeles area. Alongside our delicious tapas, we offer a rotating curation of small-production wines and eclectic beers, unique craft cocktails & mocktails, and we are also known for our one-of-a-kind 90-minute open bar special.

We will welcome but will not require reservations — we love to accommodate walk-ins and large parties, even on busy nights. Bacari Beverly Hills will be the go-to spot for our neighbors, and we look forward to hosting you.

This place is wonderful - fun vibe, absolutely incredible dishes (you literally can't go wrong with a single item) and great service & atmosphere. Highly recommend! Portions are small though, so plan to order about 2-3 items per person if it's your dinner.

Marino Ristorante

Hollywood

About the restaurant

Marino Ristorante is deeply rooted in Hollywood since the late 1950’s when Ciro (Mario to friends) Marino landed in Hollywood and has ever since had generations of who’s who in the movie, record, art, political and business LA community at his tables. Today it is still family owned and given its warm welcome flavor by the second generation of Marinos, Mario in the dining room and brother Sal in the kitchen.

The decor is modern and comfortable with memorabilia from a 60 year career which all come together to create its appeal. Described by many marrying the quintessential NY Italian in Los Angeles for its history coupled with today’s seasonal menu, highlighting the best locally sourced ingredients and top notch freshest seafood available.

About the restaurant

Here at Shokunin we serve traditional omakase styled courses.
Omakase is a Japanese phrase that means "I'll leave it up to you”. The chef chooses the fresh fish selection daily and garnishes it into a 11 or 13 course meal. Our mission is to deliver a fine dining experience in a casual environment all at an affordable price.

As a disclaimer, we do not sell any rolls that are baked, fried, or contain eel sauce or spicy mayo. We also do not sell any kitchen items, such as teriyaki bowls.

The portions were surprisingly large and the food was delicious. The highest quality. They did a lovely job helping celebrate my husband’s birthday. The restaurant is cozy but a little bright. The waitstaff was very friendly and kind.

Locanda Veneta

$31 to $50

Italian

Beverly / Fairfax / La Brea / Third St.

About the restaurant

One of LA’s best Italian restaurants, Locanda Veneta aims to transport you to Venice, Italy. Where the freshest and often deceptively simplest ingredients are combined and cooked into art. The cozy room, often dotted with celebs, is elegant but there’s nothing fussy about the menu. Here you’ll find favorites such as a fresh-vegetable minestrone; wild mushroom risotto; and spinach and ricotta cheese gnocchi. Garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil dress many of the pasta, meat and fish dishes; and the veal scaloppini gets a different preparation every night. When an Italian spot is as classic as this, how can you skip a dessert of tiramisu? Our extensive wine list complements your meal, with selections mainly from Italy, France and California.

My wife and I had our first date here about 20 years ago and it even better today then it was then. Chef Gustavo has made the pasta dishes even better and the menu is a little more extensive. Portions are moderate to large and service is exceptional.
