A 37-year Brentwood institution built on wood-fired Snake River Farms prime cuts and a Wine Spectator Award-winning Italian list—the kind of place where regulars have a steak named after a broadcast legend. The tight indoor dining room runs loud at peak hours, so request the patio for conversation-friendly date nights or opt for early weekday dinners when the room settles down.
Must-Try Dishes:
The Al Michaels Prime New York Steak, Insalata Carciofi, Veal Chop with Butter and Sage
What Makes it Special: Brentwood's definitive Tuscan trattoria since 1989, pairing wood-fired prime cuts from Snake River Farms with a Wine Spectator Award-winning Italian wine list.

A classic, candlelit Brentwood destination with old-school service and big-flavored Italian staples. Lasagna here skews traditional and indulgent, best enjoyed in a lingering, special-occasion meal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cauliflower Appetizer, Linguine with Special Meatballs, Filet Mignon
What Makes it Special: A Brentwood institution since 1975 with a Wine Spectator Grand Award-winning cellar, tableside cart service, and chef-owner Gianni Paoletti still running the kitchen.
A neighborhood Italian trattoria on Sepulveda that pairs made-from-scratch pasta and entrees with a full cantina bar and regular live music nights. The dining rooms stay conversation-friendly even on entertainment evenings, making it a reliable group spot where the draw is the full package—food, drinks, and a reason to linger—rather than any single standout dish. Free lot parking behind the building removes the usual Westside hassle.
