"Florence Osteria comes from the same owner as L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele, so it's not a surprise that this sibling spot in Beverly Grove also knows the elements of a great patio experience. Navigate through the restaurant’s small bar and dining room, and you’ll arrive at a lantern-lit terrace with plush booths, a big olive tree decorated in twinkly fairy lights, and dates twirling truffle-topped pasta while being serenaded by a piano player. You’ll leave feeling like the patio is the restaurant, and everything else is just an entryway to get there." - brant cox, arden shore, sylvio martins, cathy park
