Located in Beverly Hills, this is the newest Bacari restaurant in Los Angeles and resembles their Sherman Oaks location, except smaller. The food is consistent and the dinner menu is better than brunch.

Our Brentwood favorite (over the siblings Toscana next door) for quality Italian food and crowd energy. Super friendly service. Great place to hang at the bar, watch a Dodgers game (no sound), and enjoy a quality cocktail.
