A new destination Italian restaurant complete with rare whiskey bar has opened in Downtown's Financial District.

Located on the corner of Wilshire and Figueroa and housed in the former Cucina Rustica location, the space has been given a massive makeover resulting in a very modern dining room with plenty of floor-to-ceiling glass.

Chef Gavin Mills, who previously worked at Tavern, is heading up the kitchen, with a nod to Mediterranean flavors, including homemade charcuterie and freshly prepared pasta as well as wood fired pizza. The market-driven menu is focused on seasonal ingredients from a small group of handpicked farmers, with fresh salads and dishes from the land and sea on offer.

Front of house is run by Tyler Dow, the former GM of Faith & Flower, as well as beverage director Josh Allen and there’s a real focus on whiskey at Miro, with a downstairs bar offering access to a fantastic collection of 400 rare vintage whiskies from around the world. The Whiskey Room is a sophisticated and luxurious space, a completely private room set apart from the other areas of the restaurant and bar.
