The 15 Best Old-School Italian American Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"A place that opened in the 90s on an old-school Italian guide? That's like KLOS calling Nirvana classic rock. Sure, Jones Hollywood is the youngest establishment on this list, but as the AARP likes to say, age is just a number. This dark, sexy Weho spot somehow feels much older than it is, which isn’t by accident. The big leather booths have that worn-in feel, the bar stools creak just enough, and dishes like fried calamari and apple pie in a skillet remind you why they became classics in the first place. Martinis are served with a sidecar. If you can’t find a table, just line up outside a little before 7pm and beeline it to the row of stools on the back side of the bar." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
