Finding a place where everybody knows your name in Los Angeles isn’t tricky (thanks, tabs); finding a place where everybody knows your name and prosecco’s on draft is.
Leave it to Soho House to sort that out.
Straight from London, Cecconi’s opens today bringing Venetian-influenced food and drink (not to mention very good looks) to the old Morton’s iconic address.
Dial in for lunchy tableside-finished salads and tartars on the terrace and dinners of charcoal-grilled sea bass or wood oven-roasted veal osso buco in the main room. Just show up anytime for, say, breakfast, in the cafe or handmade pasta and pizza at the bar. Any seat in the house lands you top-notch service and expertly executed food that isn’t uptight or stuffy.
Prices are reasonable, but they’ve spared no expense: a $1 mill Damien Hirst, Mauviel cicchetti pans, and cheese and charcuterie imported from Italy.
You name it.
Cecconi’s, 8764 Melrose Avenue, at Robertson Boulevard, West Hollywood (310-432-2000 or cecconiswesthollywood.com).
