All' Angelo

Dining after the screening was another challenge as so many restaurants in Los Angeles close their kitchens at 10! Thank goodness for my knowledgeable friend, a restaurant journalist, who tipped me off about All' Angelo on Melrose Avenue. What a find! Chef Mirko Paderno, Stefano Ongaro and Carlo, couldn’t have been nicer when they got my panicked call asking them to keep the kitchen open for a group of late diners. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Every course was better than the last and our party of ten ate very bite! The new menu of Venetian, Sardinian and Sicilian dishes and the Italian all-star team, is reason enough to run [don’t walk] to this new fine dining gem. 7166 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, Dinner Monday to Saturday, 6 – 11 PM
