(323) 851-3345

1646 N. Las Palmas, Hollywood

The classic Hollywood location is the city's oldest Italian restaurant, while the sister location in the Valley is legendary in itself! They both offer 11 types of delicious pizzas that simply can't be missed! Try the shrimp and garlic pizza or the veggie house (mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and black olives). But the pies aren't the only goodies offered here. Try the sausage scaloppine, the spaghetti and meatballs, or keep things light with the excellent caesar salad and, of course, a glass of your favorite vino.

Mishima

11819 Wilshire Blvd., #106A, Los Angeles

This little Japanese noodle restaurant is bustling with goodness. Most notably, the noodle dishes themselves are quite delicious. Whether it is soba (thin buckwheat noodles) or udon (thick white flour noodles) —served hot or cold, Mishima's touch is guaranteed to raise a smile. Give the kitsune with fried soybean curd a try ($5.95), or the tori nanban with chicken ($6.25). All the rice dishes are equally tasty, in particular the tanin don with beaten egg ($6.25) is a crowd-pleaser. Cap it all off with a zenzai, toasted rice cake in a hot red-bean sauce ($3.50). Lunch and dinner seven days. Beer and wine; takeout; parking. AE, DC, DIS, MC, V.

The lunch menu offers a choice of beef or chicken ($9.95) or vegetarian shabu shabu ($7.95). Lunch and dinner seven days. Beer and sake; free parking. AE, CB, DC, DIS, MC, V.

For breakfast, try huevos a la Oaxaqueña (scrambled eggs with green beans, chopped tomato, onions and jalapeño pepper, $4). For lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong with estofado de pollo (chicken breast covered with tomato mole made with raisins, olives, sesame seeds and served with rice, $6.75).

After pounding the pavement on trendy Melrose, rest your tired feet and revive your dulled senses with Mumtaz's complex Indian spices. Start off with curried mussels in garlic sauce ($5.50) or, for the more adventurous, there's tandoori quail ($4.95). All tandoori dishes (dinners of lamb tikka or fish tikka include soup, rice, naan and rice pudding for $10.95–$12.95) are marinated in yogurt and spices for a full day before being cooked to tender perfection in the traditional clay over. Specialties for two, like the King Prawn Masala dinner, start with samosas and onion pakoras, then finish up with dessert and coffee — all for $28.95. Lunch and dinner seven days. Beer and wine; takeout; delivery; catering; parking. AE, CB, DC, DIS, MC, V.

Native Foods

1110½ Gayley Ave., Westwood

(310) 209-1055

Native Foods prepares vegetarian food the way it should be, and tofu is not the be-all-to-end-all anymore. Now there are ingredients like tempeh (an Indonesian main staple made with soybeans, grains and rice cultures) as well as seiten (100 percent wheat protein) that are used as delicious meat substitutes. So try the spicy "save the chicken" burger ($5.95) or the Philly pepper steak (sliced and peppered seiten, sautéed in mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and Native cheese, $7.95). Lunch and dinner seven days. No alcohol; takeout; catering; street parking. MC, V ($5 minimum).
