The BEST pasta in LA. They fly it in overnight daily from Italy..and you can tell! Everyone I bring here including some Italians with high standards agree it’s amazing.
UOVO | Studio City
The best Korean BBQ restaurant overall has to go to Quarters. It’s higher end, but always worth it. Make a reservation, and get the Beef Bulgogi. The sides are amazing and the service is top tier. Never a bad experience!
Quarters Korean BBQ
NY pizza in LA? This is by far the best go to NY pizza in the Hollywood/Studio City area. It’s a couple bucks for a slice, always hot, thin crust and the perfect ratio. Verified by some born and raised NYC residents.
Fernanda's NY Pizza
If you’re looking for some authentic and flavorful Mexican food, look no further. With two locations that are both amazing, Tere’s makes the best tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. Their homemade chips and salsa are amazing. The staff are the best, an...
Tere's Mexican Grill
A unique Asian fusion cuisine that never lets you down. Whether you go for a burger or the bibimbap, you’ll be happily surprised. Order a bunch of sides to try because everything is just done right.
Hungry Crowd
The best waffle spot in town. They’re perfectly done just as a waffle should be. Even the scrambled eggs are worth it. A consistent place that is always a great start to the day.
& Waffles
If you’re looking for a classy meal or a simple rotisserie chicken (with the best garlic sauce) look no further. I like to hit the pick up window on my way home and grab myself a quarter white chicken. Never fails. Perfect date spot.
Kismet
A great spot for a night out with your friends, or a romantic date. A couple of dishes to share and some delicious drinks at Ysabel is a perfect evening. You can sit indoors or outdoors, both with a beautiful vibe.
Ysabel
When I heard people were ordering this online to ship to other states I was not surprised. This is the best ice cream with the best flavor rotations around! I’m a chocolate lover so I’ve tried them all, and they never miss. I come here a little too o...
McConnell's Fine Ice Creams
Dream date spot. Drinks on the roof or a nice meal in the garden, you’ll feel the romance no matter where you sit.
Casaléna
True, authentic, flavorful Mexican food that cannot be beat. If you want to go where the locals go, look no further. The margaritas, chips & salsa, and tacos are a long time SF Valley staple.
