A multi-regional Italian restaurant in the Arts District of downtown Los Angeles.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ori Menashe & Genevieve Gergis

  • Award icon
    MICHELIN Plate2022

From the OpenTable editors: Packed since the day it opened in 2012, Ori and Genevieve Menashe’s acclaimed California-Italian restaurant has made a name for itself for excellent cocktails, wood-fired pizzas, and now-iconic dishes like slow-roasted lamb neck. Housed in a former warehouse, the cavernous, industrial-chic restaurant ushered in a new era of Arts District dining—and feels just as vibrant and energetic as it did a decade ago.
