Lavo Ristorante

The latest project from the nightlife-oriented Tao Group, Lavo Ristorante in West Hollywood thankfully dials way, way back on clubstaurant vibes. Instead, the stunning Italian restaurant—with a Vegas sister club—brings a glamorous lounge feel to the Sunset Strip, complete with a glittering bar, modern chandeliers and plenty of foliage in the dining room. The dinner menu and style of service is similarly show-stopping, from the one pound Wagyu meatball to your server offering plated slices of citrus for one’s water. Seasonal crudités drizzled in Brightland olive oil, a delightful assortment of Italian sweets and plenty of tableside fanfare make this glitzy spot an excellent choice for birthdays, date nights and any night intended to impress.
