Echo Park, Los Angeles · restaurant
Step into a sun-dialed corner of Echo Park gone full Italian afternoon: rich-green walls, a stone bar that looks like mortadella, and a vintage espresso machine gleaming like it knows all your secrets. It’s the kind of place where 3 p.m. feels sacred. Aperitivo hour hits just right with a Two-Kiss spritz or a fizzy chinotto-lambrusco Sofia, and suddenly olives and puffy gnocco fritto don’t feel like snacks so much as lifestyle choices. There’s pizza too, crisp and pillowy like Bacetti’s but meant for standing around the bar instead of a full dinner. Walk-in only, dog-friendly patio out back, zero fuss, all atmosphere.
Sausage, kale, calabrian chiles, puffy crust fried in oiled pan. Smoky char - "perfection"
Wafer-thin flatbread, stracchino cheese. Most popular item on the menu.
San Marzano tomatoes, cremini mushrooms, mozzarella, fresh basil.
Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
