Birthday & Celebration Central
A country Italian tavern on Melrose that builds its reputation on house-made pasta — the bucatini carbonara and short rib ravioli draw regulars from well beyond the Larchmont neighborhood. The room runs loud and close-quartered once it fills up, so come ready for energy over intimacy, and lean into the Southern California produce-driven plates that justify the crowd.
Must-Try Dishes:
Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Short Rib Ravioli, Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
What Makes it Special: A country Italian tavern on Melrose that makes all pasta in-house using Southern California produce, drawing crowds from across LA for plates like the bucatini carbonara.
