Aventine Hollywood

New late night hang out place recently opened up in Hollywood. This time, we didn't have any alcohol, just here for the food. We had good food and good service. Yes, everything was delicious. The decor reminds me of Hinoki & the bird in Century City.

"Aventine Hollywood is a distinctive new addition to the Los Angeles dining scene, and showcases Adolfo Veronese’s signature bold Italian flavors with a refined twist. The menu highlights local produce as well as a bounty of artisanal and house made ingredients. Chef Veronese offers a variety of sharing appetizers and individual plates, giving diners an authentic and unique social dining experience. "
