"If you’re looking for something upscale on the Westside, Via Veneto has you covered. This classic Santa Monica spot is offering takeout for the first time, so take advantage of it. They’ve got some of the city’s best shrimp and calamari fritto misto, and you can’t go wrong with the beef carpaccio, or any of the ravioli (the lobster and zucchini is probably our favorite, though). App delivery or pick-up available." - Brett Keating
