"The number of outdoor spots in Silver Lake where you can have a low-key drink and a bite to eat is basically zero. Except for Marco Polo. This seafood-focused Italian spot is an ideal place to grab a cocktail, eat some pasta, and sit outside - we recommend the Ginepro Rucola, a refreshing gin, lime, and arugula cocktail that is all we want to drink this summer, and a bowl of the linguini vongole, loaded with clams and high-quality EVOO. Get ready to sneak out of work early on Fridays to beat the crowd." - brant cox, kat hong, brett keating
