Best NY style pizza in LA. I love sitting at the counter and watching pizzas getting made in front of my eyes. They do so much business, it's like an assembly line. But, pizzas end up high quality.

This restaurant is the closest thing I have found to Bangkok street food in LA. Don't let the strip mall location fool you. The inside is very nice. And, the prices are ridiculously cheap.

For nice intimate dinners, this is a great place for a couple or small group. It is like being invited to dine at someone's home. Very cozy and great Lebanese dishes. Not expensive at all considering how nice the place looks. Last time I was there with reservations, they recognized me and seated me and my friends without even asking for my name. How great is that?!

This is one of my favorite lunch places now. For $10, you can great a small but very filling bowl of Poki with scoops of tuna/salmon/crabmeat/masago and whatever other seafood you want. The choices are great and healthy too.

Warm and friendly, family-run, traditional leaning Italian restaurant with the best Gnocchi dishes you ask for. Their repieni gnocchis are my favorite... stuffed with cheese. The Panna Cottas are amazing as well. And I am choosy when it comes to panna cotta as this is my go to dessert.
