"This breezy Italian rooftop restaurant in Beverly Hills is as expensive and gaudily branded as the luxury brand that owns it, but still has redeeming qualities as an over-the-top lunch spot. The palm tree-lined views of Rodeo Drive make LA look like a movie, the service is fantastic, and some dishes are quite nice, such as the panko-crusted cod “milanese” hiding a bold punch of ginger and the risotto “camouflaged as a pizza” that looks like abstract art. Expect to swipe that company card because you’re not getting out of here without spending at least $300 for two." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
