Things are opening up in a big way. Every time I go to LA to visit my mom, which is about once a month, we go out for at least two meals. I've had some great food recently, and our visit to Jon and Vinny's in Brentwood was no exception. They also have a branch in West Hollywood, plus several other restaurant brands. They own and manage Petit Trois (two locations in LA), Son of a Gun in LA, a wine company called Helen's, and Danos Dumplings.
At the Brentwood location of Jon and Vinny's, they built a huge, socially distanced outdoor dining area in what was formerly the parking lot. The outdoor area must seat about 30 people, more than the indoor area. In any event, the food is the star. Everything is delicious. Pizzas, pasta, salads (great salads), etc. I was there for dinner, but I would love to try it for breakfast. In addition to the usual suspects for breakfast, like pancakes, bacon and the like, they have some items you don't often associate with breakfast. Ricotta bruschetta with orange blossom honey and sesame seeds, polenta, olive oil and parmesean, melon and prosciutto, and spaghetti carbonara, pancetta and pecorino, Yum.
If you're in the Brentwood/Santa Monica area, try Jon and Vinny's. Great food in a great setting.
