La Piazza Description:
Located in the heart of The Grove, the wildly popular development that brought L.A. shoppers back outdoors, La Piazza is adjacent to a busy, fountain-laden courtyard. Two levels of patio dining provide plenty of al fresco charm and the interior is suitably Italianesque, dressed up with white linen and candles. Fortunately, the food---while not the best in town---is better than it needs to be to achieve success in such an enviable location. The menu offers some good salads---everything from the usual Caprese and Caesar to peppered ahi with endive---plus some very thin-crusted pizzas that are reason enough to show up. The risotto with wild mushrooms is passable, and pastas (e.g. rigatoni with mushrooms in pink sauce, penne alla arrabbiata) can be very respectable. You can also find a nicely prepared osso buco here, and a fine torta della nonna makes a worthwhile finale.
