Description

Despite being in the heart of Beverly Hills, this lively and always-bustling Italian wine bar and ristorante is anything but pretentious. Proprietor Celestino Drago (a name out of Harry Potter if there ever was one) is a warm and capable host, and an old pro on the L.A. dining scene, with Drago and Il Pastaio, among others, to his credit.

It's a little pricy but defintely worth it.
