17 LA Restaurants That Are Great During The Holidays - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Corny as it sounds, the holidays are about being with family, and even if you aren’t technically with yours at Il Pastaio, it sure feels like it. This neighborhood Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills is a scene, but not in the way you’d expect from a restaurant on Canon Drive. Generations of families share the same bowls of pasta they’ve been eating for decades, and groups of friends who are all back in town for the holidays chug wine so they can actually fall asleep in their childhood beds. Add in giant wreaths and twinkling lights strewn across the walls, and you've got a homey, holiday wonderland." - brant cox
