Alimento

Though no longer the hottest thing in Silver Lake, Zach Pollack's neighborhood Italian restaurant still wows with signatures like the tortellini in brodo, radiatori with kale and fennel pollen and the beautifully crispy chicken Milanese sandwich (also available "red hot" style). The minimalist, casual interiors belie the higher than average price point, but if you're fine with spending over $50 a head on delicious small plates like a white bean and emmer soup served with griddled bread and saffron risotto tater tots, there's no better place in Silver Lake for pasta and aperitivo than Alimento.
