LAVO Ristorante Los Angeles

Lavo Ristorante sits at 9201 Sunset Blvd, a ten-minute walk from the Sunset Strip. The room runs smart and elegant, and the kitchen prepares both modern and classic Italian cuisine.

Most restaurants on this stretch of Sunset Boulevard prioritize high-energy spectacle over the plate, but Lavo opts for a more anchored approach. The kitchen focuses on precision, providing a necessary antidote to the frantic pace of the nearby clubs. While the dining room includes an outdoor terrace, the real reason to choose this over the neon-lit joints a few blocks away is the restraint shown in the cooking. You come here for a composed meal, rather than the loud, chaotic energy typical of the immediate area.
