The 15 Best Old-School Italian American Restaurants In LA
"Despite its age (or perhaps because of it), this family-run Eagle Rock spot is still one of the tougher weekend tables to book in the neighborhood. Stepping into the dining room is a true time warp: checkered tablecloths, Tiffany ceiling lamps, and couples who have been going on dates here since Jimmy Carter was president. Everyone is eating thin-crust Sicilian-style pizza (get the Deluxe with mushroom, green pepper, and big chunks of sausage), but the entrees are solid as well. The pasta al forno, best described as a pie-sized portion of baked penne baked in meat sauce and a pound of melted cheese, could feed most high school football teams." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
