Il Cielo Description:
We encourage you to try chef-owner Pasquale Vericella's fun cuisine. The longtime Beverly Hills hideaway with its charming and romantic garden filled with lights has hosted hundreds of weddings. Despite a little street noise, the front patio is choice, although the indoor dining rooms with mirrored walls, fireplace and cherubs painted on the ceiling are romantic as well. There is a quotidian tasting menu based upon the chef's findings and a stable and simple à la carte menu. Salad, homemade scialatielli, garden vegetable risotto, grilled Norwegian salmon, grilled lamb chops with arugula and colorful desserts---which can be personalized for special occasions---make for a nice meal. The little touches of sauce and seasoning are important components of the experience. Interesting Italian wines dominate the list.
