"Whether your Capital One Arena event is a date or a friends’ night out, L’Ardente’s spacious Italian restaurant and lounge serves up great pasta and pizza. Inhale the smell of charred meat coming off the grill in the open kitchen at the East End spot, where there’s also a wood-fire pizza oven. Italian pop music plays loudly alongside the chatter in the dining room—so loud that you might have to yell to talk to your tablemates. But the zucca, served with a spicy ragu sauce, is a dish that will make this your go-to Italian spot near the arena." - tristiana hinton
