Italian Restaurant · 46 tips and reviews
Tammy Gordon: Fantastic patio, old school candlelit charm & classic Italian - loved the the grilled artichoke & the baked ricotta, grilled sweet peppers & prosciutto. PLUS: Sunday Suppers! Inc $12 red/white bottle
Tammy Gordon: If you want dessert, get the ricotta donuts (w creme fraiche & berries)!!!
Jodi Flicker: Classy joint. It’s the kind of place you’d expect to see Simon Baker from THE MENTALIST. Don’t you think he turned in an Emmy-worthy performance this year?
Thrillist: The perfect date night spot, with a candlelit dining room and private cabanas, FigOly’s cooking up eats like lamb-and-wild boar tagliatelle, scallops w/ pork lardon. Read more.
Anastasia Palmer Johnson: 50 bottles of wine under 50$? Genius! One of the best rooftop patios to have drinks on in DTLA. An undiscovered gem
AskMen: We suggest your date play out like so: a glass of wine at the bar, shareable Italian-inspired dishes in the main dining room, followed by a nightcap and dessert on the spacious outdoor terrace. Read more.

Chad: Great spot with a mellow candlelit ambience & friendly staff. The margarita pizza & spicy clams are delicious. Brynn is an amazing bartender & her or the awesome sommelier will take great care of you!
Johnnie Skywalking: My most favorite restaurant in the area. Spicy clam and Meatball can be addictive. Every mebu uses lots of ingredients to make the taste unique and super tasty.
Kelly Bone: Skip the "food" and eat MORE pizza!

Michelle S.: Very cool vibe, decor, atmosphere in this new Washington Blvd restaurant. Candle lit tables, modern design, awesome place for an intimate dinner for two. Try the Fin Roll and the Basile Night!
Mônica: Food is amazing and cocktails are to die for! Ask server for recommendations, they know what's good! Fin roll, rock shrimp tempura, black cod, YUM!
Michelle S.: Ichimi Lamb Chop! It's served over a bed of rosemary mashed potato's, and the glaze...sooo good. The lamb was very juicy and had slight heat from the ichimi (japanese pepper?).

GourmetLive: Food blogger Lori or Loriculwell.com recommends BOA for its “warm bread, great wine, amazing steaks, mac and cheese, candlelit ambience, and the fact that the people who work there are so darn nice.”
Richard Z: The goat cheese truffle baklava here is the truthhh. Bone in ribeye is one of the best cuts and extra points for stocking Hendricks gin
Omar Alkassim: If u didn't order the "truffle cheese fries", u r haven't try BOA restaurant 😪

caffe pinguini: Wine Tasting Saturday Sept 13th, 2:30 pm to 5:30pm
HowAboutWe: Never mind that it's a hotel. We know what you're thinking. But it's also a Sunset Strip institution and host to a pretty outstanding brunch. It's fantastic for people watching as well. Read more.
People: Lunch is a don't-miss scene, but by dinner the star-filled patio is pretty exclusive. Tip: Neighboring Bar Marmont is more low-key, but still will give you that classic Hollywood experience.
Adrian Garcia: The lounge is really nice and have brunch or lunch on the patio! Amazing!
