The 20 Best Italian Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Oste in Beverly Grove is a great neighborhood spot for all kinds of occasions—a date, a double date, a post-gym carbapalooza (you get the point). But most of all, it’s an excellent Italian restaurant with a Roman-leaning menu that’ll impress anyone who appreciates some nice antipasto. A casual weeknight dinner should include their herb-loaded lamb chops, perfectly executed mushroom risotto with bone marrow, and beautiful, focaccia-like pinsas (Roman-style pizza). Everything is delicious, portions are generous, and yet, you’re not getting hosed on prices. Plus, you’ll feel good when the owner stops by your table to compliment your order." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore
