Vespaio

Extensive happy hour food and drink list, a great place to come before a show at the Ahmanson (don’t tell anyone?!)

The crab ravioli is hella good. Ask to sit outside in the patio , such a beautiful space with great service.

Good for lunch and a martini at the bar for happy hour . Wonderful service and very friendly staff .

2000s vibes but great service and tasty Italian food , if a little spendy for what you get.

Delicious pastas and a great wine list . Love sitting outside

Great "small plates " in the lounge and good drinks also.

Excellent food all around from the salads , sandwiches and flatbreads .

Decent food, a bit overpriced. The Happy Hour menu is just ok. Good for a pre-show meal, but nothing extraordinary. There's definitely better in the area, though perhaps not as walkable

They have a cafe with to-go sandwiches and coffee .

Salmon , tagliatelle and apple crumble

Be aware when the server asks you "what to drink." If you answer "water with no ice" like me, it might be a 6 USD charge for "evian" water.

The Desert is #thebest

Pork belly BLT

Risotto !!!!

Rucula pizza yum!
