"Even though this Italian cafe sits on a hectic stretch of Sunset Boulevard surrounded by strip malls and beauty salons, it still has the charm of a country picnic—just recreated on a sunny sidewalk with bright yellow umbrellas and a whitewashed cottage exterior. There are coffee drinks and pastries up front, but Ceci's most deserves your attention as a lunch destination, especially for their stellar focaccia sandwiches. They’re built on thin, crunchy bread with a nice ratio of meat and veggies, and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Hit the refrigerated dessert case, too—even pretend picnics should end with tiramisu." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park
