Catch LA
Great thai food and Michelin rated. Its a very lowkey place in terms that its located in a strip mall and its not a fancy place. Prices are very reasonable.

Great Neapolitan pizza and tastes very authentic. Located in Hollywood. The vibes are super cute especially for a date and they also have a great patio.
L'antica Pizzeria da Michele USA
The outside looks like a hardware store but the inside is absolutely stunning. Especially their patio. Great date location if you just want cocktails. The food is also very good and vibes are immaculate.

Food is really good as well as the cocktails. Cant take photos inside but they do have a really cool photo booth! Super trendy spot.

Super cute aesthetic and they have many locations. Prices are reasonable and the melrose location has a cute patio with fairy lights. Their bowls are super popular and yummy. On the healthier side.
Zinqué
This is not a restaurant but it might as well be. Their hot bar food is so delicious and they have so many items that I always am craving. The prices are also restaurant prices as a meal will cost you about $30.
