Rockenwagner has something for everyone! The have amazing coffee. I like the Vanilla Latte (hot or cold) and you could spend months tasting all the delicious savory and sweet baked goods. My favorites are their chocolate croissants and their bacon and cheese pretzel bread. I enjoy my morning walks their for a warm breakfast or for their Muesli - which is a must try while you're here!

A taste of true Italian food less than 4 minutes away! Once I discovered this place, it ruined all other Italian food for me. This secret gem is hidden in plain site! Located on Lincoln Blvd and Washington, you could basically throw a rock from our house to it. But to be inside - you might as well be in Italy. My favorite picks: Carpaccio de Manzo, Insalata Con Radicchio Arugula, and my husband's all time favorite: Linguine All Vongole Veraci. Make sure you have plans to come back to Los Angeles in the near future. Because this meal will haunt you! (and dont forget to make a reservation)

So simple. So good. If you are looking for an easy dinner of pizza, pasta, and salad. This is a great place. The food is consistently great and the atmosphere is laid back and friendly. They have beer on tap and outdoor seating for nice evenings. Which is just about every evening here in Los Angeles. It's about a 3 block walk from our house.

If you are looking for something on the healthy side. This place is for you. Great salads, and plated foods.

Healthy never tasted so good! (5 block walk from the house)

YOU WILL LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE!
Located on the corner of Rose and Santa Monica's Main Street. This place has been redesigned and now offers a great patio dining experience. The food is incredible. I would recommend anything on the menu - but particularly like their pastas. If you are visiting LA and want to hang out in a very local LA beach spot - this is a great place to go!

I almost put this under the 'sightseeing' section. You could spend hours here! Located in the heart of Venice on the corner of Lincoln Blvd and Rose. Great place to stop on your way to the beach.
