The Most Classic Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Dinner rush at this 70s-era Italian cafeteria in Burbank is a sight to behold. Parents with kids in soccer uniforms and exhausted studio workers line up with red trays pointing at meatballs and giant lasagna squares behind the glass. Wine is served in goblets. And, yes, there are wooden Pinocchio dolls everywhere. With its combination of retro prices, solid red sauce staples, and a only-in-LA brand of kitsch that could only exist in LA, it’s no mystery why this place has a cult following. Be sure to explore the attached deli for pastries and silky gelato (a.k.a. dessert)." - brant cox, cathy park, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
