Angelini Osteria 
$-$$$, Italian, Beverly-La Brea
Fodor's Review:
You might not guess it from the modest, rather congested dining room, but this is one of L.A.'s most celebrated Italian restaurants. The key is chef-owner Gino Angelini's thoughtful use of superb ingredients, evident in dishes such as mussels and clams in garlic, parsley, and white wine and pumpkin tortelli with butter, sage, and asparagus. An awesome lasagna verde, inspired by Angelini's grandmother, is not to be missed. Whole branzino, crusted in sea salt, and unusual specials (e.g., tender veal kidneys) consistently impress. An intelligent selection of mostly Italian wines complements the menu, and desserts like the open-face marmalade tart are baked fresh daily.

Yes, the tables are close together but the food was exceptional and very authentic. The lasagne was incredible as was the desert. Not your typical Italian-American restaurant; more like something you would find in Italy.Wholesome food

We took Fodors recommendation and liked the food. It did not overwhelm but pleased. Wine served in tumblers may be quaint in a small Italian village trattoria but not in Beverly Hills.
