12 Great Hidden Restaurants Across America
"LOS ANGELES This Italian steakhouse in LA exudes Old Hollywood glamor, down to its secrecy. Located in the basement of The Georgian Hotel, you’ll have to buzz a mysterious doorbell and put a privacy sticker over your phone camera before you’re seated. And the moody space with red walls and black leather booths feels like you might bump into someone preparing for their audition in a Damien Chazelle movie. The menu is full of solid Italian food, with dishes like hazelnut-crusted lamb rack and oxtail ragu, and a buttery New York strip steak. Start with one of the house martinis, and don’t leave until you hear the jazz singer crooning slowed-down renditions of Brittney Spears songs next to a vintage Steinway." - anne cruz
