Birdcage Hollywood

A Big Hollywood Corner Makes Plans for Old School Italian Restaurant - Eater LA

"Soprano takes over for a prominently-placed former sports bar at Hollywood and Vine, just steps from the Pantages and APL. Construction has been going on inside for a little while, and the plan is to open the Italian spot in a matter of weeks. Reps for the restaurant note that Soprano will operate more as an old school Hollywood hangout kind of Italian destination, rather than a more modern regional Italian specialist like, say, Rossoblu or Felix. Chef Brandon Kida from Hinoki & the Bird is on to oversee the menu, after having previously opened up the rooftop hotspot Sorra nearby in Hollywood. Beyond the pastas, meatballs, and all that red sauce, expect a focus on cocktails, throwback dinner service, and wine." - Farley Elliott
