A beautiful, postmodern space with a split-level dining room that's done in rich chocolate, copper, and tan tones, this trattoria sits along MGM's booming restaurant row, the Studio Walkway. Chef Michael White, whose Fiamma restaurant in New York City has earned tremendous acclaim, turns out relatively simple, deftly seasoned Italian fare, such as citrus-grilled octopus with a chunky green-olive sauce, and rosemary-grilled prawns with charred-tomato vinaigrette. Among the mains, consider gnocchi with Maine lobster ragu, or olive oil-roasted Alaskan halibut with braised artichokes and basil pesto. It's a very good value as the city's fine Italian restaurants go.
