"Launched by the Busalacchi restaurant family, I found Lala to be an intimate Little Italy restaurant and cocktail bar open daily at 5 p.m., with executive chef Nino Zizzo serving items from caviar blinis and steak tartare to Italian classics like cioppino and veal parmigiana, and a drink program featuring housemade limoncello and barrel-aged cocktails like an Italian Old Fashioned." - Candice Woo
