Restaurant Amalfi Restaurant and Bar in Los angeles | Book a table

Amalfi Restaurant & Bar is LA’s hip, upscale celebrity owned Italian restaurant located on La Brea. Amalfi offers up home made Italian food and wonderful patio dining as well as a great Happy Hour. We are located next door to Acme Comedy Club and below Room 5 Lounge. Mix with and watch the bustling crowds of well-heeled industry types while sipping a sultry and spicy glass of Pinot Noir. Easily accessible from anywhere in Los Angeles, Amalfi Restaurant & Bar is in the Hollywood area, nuzzled close to Hancock Park. Amalfi has a magical history, it is the former site of the Famous Swanee Inn. In 1937, club owner Bob Lewis suggested that budding Jazz musician Nathaniel "Nat" Cole assemble a small band to work at his Swanee Inn on North La Brea. Today North La Brea is quickly becoming one of LA’s hippest places to dine, shop and be entertained. Unless it's very busy, you can make reservations for the popular patio or near the cozy fireplace. Hearty Italian specialties like wood-fired meats and homemade pastas are served in generous portions across the board. An excellent starter is the perfectly grilled salmon served over mixed greens dressed in a tangy lemon-olive oil vinaigrette. Stellar entrees include tender, wood fire roasted rack of lamb, and the simple, but juicy, grilled New York steak on a bed of arugula. Make a night of it and pop into Room 5, located directly upstairs
