Featured In

This Hollywood gem is the first US outpost of the legendary Naples pizzeria, which has operated since 1870 and even made an appearance on Eat Pray Love. While the original location only serves two classic pies—marinara and margherita—its LA counterpart has significantly expanded the offering with spicy Diavola, Arugula & Prosciutto, Truffle, and more, using the same highly guarded recipe to achieve that soft, bubbly, chewy, charred, Neapolitan-style crust (which you can watch the chef tossing in a glass-walled pizza kitchen). The robust dinner lineup includes authentic pastas that would impress any Italian nonna and a slew of sublime desserts, but you’ll want to check out the a.m. menus too. The restaurant recently debuted a daily walk-up counter service called the Breakfast Bar with pastries and made-to-order sandwiches, in addition to a brand-new weekend brunch menu with an irresistible Ricotta Bruschetta piled with prosciutto and poached eggs. If you’re lucky, you’ll run into owner Francesco Zimone recommending dishes and sharing stories in L’antica’s romantic brick courtyard.
How to book: Reservations are available online.

Although it’s the first U.S. outpost of a renowned but tiny pizzeria in Naples, which only serves two classic pies, L’antica Pizzeria Da Michele does things a little differently stateside. Here, the menu is robust, filled with a slew of excellent pizzas, pastas, and more, while the sizable and romantic brick courtyard offers a view of the glass-enclosed pizza kitchen where chefs are slinging pies nonstop. Make sure to order the OG margherita for the table, which allows the soft, bubbly, chewy, Neapolitan-style crust to really shine, as well as one of the more imaginative pies (we suggest the carbonara!).
