As Jon & Vinny’s Opens in South LA, a Neighborhood Looks On | Eater LA

"Opening on Monday, November 15 at 4400 W. Slauson Avenue, the new restaurant is presented as an ode to the Italian‑American experience from two Florida-born partners who also help run concessions at SoFi Stadium. It occupies a prominent, busy stretch on the Hyde Park/View Park border and was converted from a previously shuttered, long‑standing property after community input persuaded the owners to build a consumer-facing restaurant rather than use the space solely for catering logistics. The team says most staff and management live within a five-mile radius, and they’ve prioritized creating a welcoming, planted exterior, preserving an unusually ample parking lot, and keeping the neighborhood engaged through regular council and community meetings. The spot will keep daily hours from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and reservations are available via Resy." - Mona Holmes
