North Italia remains one of my favorite best-kept-secret spots for friends and family. I've never had anything but a wonderful experience there. Everything including the service, food, atmosphere and overall vibe is nearly perfect. Definitely do the truffle bread, but don't miss out on other appetizers like the arancini and crispy eggplant. Best new restaurant find in years.

quickly became one of my favorite restaurants in LA. It’s expensive but worth every penny, especially as the restaurant is pretty generous with the portions. The Pane with pistachios and ricotta is amazing along with the the broccolini caesar salad. The uni pasta is simple and elegant, and one of the best i’ve had, especially topped with grade A uni. Don’t skip dessert and take any digestifif offered. $350 for 2 people. Not cheap, but well worth it and unique amongst the many high end choices in Los Angeles
