This is the eastern outpost of Sal Marino’s West L.A. trattoria and Italian deli. Fire up your Vespa: At almost all hours, seven days a week, the half-dozen sidewalk tables are filled with Roman Holiday-seekers downing Danesi espresso. Breakfast brings polenta pancakes and spinach-ricotta frittatas. Chopped salads and hot and cold paninis dominate at lunch, while dinner promises large portions of pollo Milanese and salmon fettucine a la vodka. For desert, don’t disappoint Grandma: have a slice of the torta della nonna (“Grandma’s cake”)—custard cream and chocolate topped with toasted pine nuts.
