"It’s hard not to be charmed by Spina, the low-key Italian spot in Atwater Village helmed by chef Pablo Cruz. The sunny, minimally appointed space makes for a terrific lunch meetup, while the dinner vibe is dimmer but equally welcoming. Everyone’s having a good time digging into well-portioned plates of cacio e pepe and ricotta-stuffed ravioli. The Italian-centric wine list features something for every palate, and of course, the tiramisu for dessert is worth saving room for. — Cathy Chaplin, senior editor" - Eater Staff
