"This won’t be your casual sweatpants kind of Sunday morning, but Cecconi’s will reward your choice to wear real pants with a very good brunch. The high-end Italian restaurant on Melrose serves dishes like black truffle pizza, ricotta hotcakes, and spaghetti with lobster to a crowd littered with entertainment power brokers, random celebrities, and out-of-towners who want to watch them eat. They’ve expanded their patio to include the entirety of the front valet area." - brant cox
