"One of greater Los Angeles’s true dining stalwarts is heading for a subtle sunset, as Valentino in Santa Monica is set to close at the end of this year. The 46-year-old restaurant helped to usher in the modern dominance of true Italian food in Los Angeles, with owner Piero Selvaggio overseeing a kitchen that spanned decades and included some of the city’s biggest names in Italian cooking." - Farley Elliott
