"It’s possible that San Vicente Blvd. in Brentwood has the highest concentration of Italian restaurants outside of Italy. We’re not entirely sure how they all survive, but we are extremely sure that Vincenti is the best of the bunch. It’s the kind of place where you don’t need to bring any kind of entertainment—who needs Twitter when you end up chatting with the ladies in their seventies having a boozy dinner at the bar next to you? Eating here with other people can end up being pretty expensive, so sitting at the bar with a bowl of wild boar pappardelle and a glass of Sangiovese on your own is the economically responsible thing to do." - Jess Basser Sanders, Nikko Duren, Kat Hong, Sylvio Martins
