Little Dom's

"Two words: ricotta pancakes. The clubby Los Feliz restaurant with a classic Italian American menu has built a strong brunch following on that fluffy, blueberry-studded dish alone, but other daytime options include a breakfast pizza topped with speck; wood oven-roasted eggs with sourdough toast; and meatball sandwiches. Don’t forget a spritz or Negroni, should boozy brunch be on the docket. Once the weather warms up, the patio is one of those see-and-be-seen spots in LA." - Eater Staff

"Here’s an ideal formula for Thanksgiving dessert: Little Dom’s brown butter pumpkin pie, pecan pie with bourbon and Steen’s cane syrup, Dutch apple pie, and delectable gluten-free chocolate torte. Many holiday items are already sold out, so place an order soon on the Little Dom’s website." - Mona Holmes

"Little Dom’s is deep frying turkeys to-go this Thanksgiving. In addition to the deep-fried birds with gravy ($120), executive chef Brandon Boudet is offering side dishes, including roasted Brussel sprouts with applewood bacon ($48); fennel sausage and mushroom stuffing ($48); pureed yams with coconut cream and toasted pecans ($48); and more. Also available are brown butter pumpkin pies ($48) by pastry chef Ann Kirk. Place orders from Friday, November 1 to Sunday, November 24 for pickup on Thanksgiving morning." - Eater Staff

"The signature Los Feliz neighborhood restaurant is back, once again offering sides for your Thanksgiving feast, like roasted brussels sprouts, heirloom carrots, brown butter pumpkin pie, and much, much more. Unfortunately, their deep-fried turkeys are already sold out. Call the restaurant to place an order." - kat hong, nikko duren, garrett snyder

"Guest: Kristen Bell “This place is very near and dear to me. Me and my husband had our courtship at this restaurant. I ended up moving to a house right down the street from Little Dom's, so I went there even more. Justin and I had our first meeting with our wedding planner at Little Dom's. It's one of the first restaurants we went back to when we were venturing out to eat after the pandemic. It feels like an extension of our home. I love that Kristen Bell felt the same way about that place. In fact, she was meeting me at Little Dom's, doing my podcast, and then staying at the table for another meeting. The food has stayed so consistent. We had their ricotta pancakes. Their polenta is incredible. Their pasta dishes are wonderful. They have a wonderful special on Monday nights. I think that they still do this, where for like [$25], you can get a three-course meal and a glass of wine. I used to always go there when I was running low on funds, in-between jobs, because I knew I could get a really nice meal on a Monday night. There's always some reason to celebrate being there.”" - brennan carley
