"Lavo is an Italian clubstaurant on the Sunset Strip that hails from the mecca of clubstaurants, Las Vegas. But here’s the catch—in the desert, places like Lavo work because everyone’s on a debaucherous vacation and eating an expensive meal while dancing on a table is part of the gig. On the Sunset Strip, though, Lavo isn’t anything close to that fantasy. It’s just a big restaurant with forgettable pizza and pasta, decor straight out of a Home & Gardens catalog, and a crowd made up of tourists and locals who don’t know better. If you’re looking for a rowdy dinner in LA, do yourself a favor and head to one of these spots instead." - brant cox
