An Italianate-styled restaurant and nightclub on the famed Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, from the Tao Group.

The airy, 250 plus seat space, set out to transport guests from the Sunset Strip to a charming seaside town in Southern Italy. Expect a reimagination of its sister locations with a lighter, brighter West Coast flair. The restaurant features a double-height skylight with Italian glass chandeliers and a horseshoe-shaped bar, an ode to Italianate architecture. There's also an expansive patio dining terrace via an arched doorway from the bar and the triple-height ceilings feature a large retractable roof and fully operable windows.  

The menu by Ralph Scamardella, highlights signature dishes from Lavo’s New York location including the one-pound wagyu meatball topped with sheep’s milk ricotta, wood-fired pizzas, and housemade pasta, alongside new items inspired by Southern California’s local produce.
