The Biggest Los Angeles Restaurant Openings in May 2025 | Eater LA

"Opened May 30 as a Roman-inspired cocktail lounge from chef Evan Funke and Giancarlo Pagani (managing partner of Mother Wolf Group) in the short-lived former Mars cocktail-bar space tucked behind Mother Wolf; the reservations-only lounge focuses on handheld Roman street food, folded and thin-crust pizzas, and cocktails. Notable dishes include frittatina di carbonara — filled with spaghetti swirled with guanciale, black pepper, and egg — and the puffy folded Portafoglio topped with oxtail meatballs and braised greens, with cocktails, wine, and mocktails available to pair with the food." - Mona Holmes
