The Best Places For A Solo Wine & Pasta Meal In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This Indian sports bar in Silver Lake famously has a lot going on—Lakers games streaming on dozens of TVs, Drake blasting in the bathroom—but it’s also a pretty nice place to scoop up fusilli and drink a fruity Gamay. There’s a long bar at the back of the restaurant with your name on it, where it’s easy to grab a seat and dine leisurely on cream-heavy malai rigatoni or pasta shells smothered in a thick parmesan-saffron sauce. If you need something to keep your eyes busy, just watch whatever obscure sport is playing on the TV. Reservations are released seven days in advance at midnight and they’re infamously gone within seconds. If you’re not the type to chase a reservation, just borrow our move and show up at 5pm when they open. You’ll almost certainly walk right in. Unless there’s a Dodger or Lakers or Rams game, in which case, circle back a different night." - jess basser sanders, sylvio martins
