Where:
Café Verona
201 South La Brea Ave.
Los Angeles
What:
A quant little Italian café with vine covered outdoor seating. A perfect date spot for any Romeo or Juliet.
What to get:
They specialize in egg dishes. Their frittata actually comes out looking like an egg pizza with all your favorite toppings put right on top the country-style fluffy egg crust. Make sure you opt for their sweet potato mash- its savory, not sweet!
The French Toast All’Italaina, filled with cream cheese and fresh fruit, sounds like it belongs on the menu at IHOP but it was pleasantly not too sweet and was shaped like a manta ray!
Beware of:
I don’t know if the waitress is really Italian or an actress pretending to be Italian, but make sure you pronounce your order very clearly. It might help to point to the menu. Language barrier aside, she was very accommodating once she knew what we wanted.
Vegan/Veggie Friendly?
If you eat eggs and cheese, you can find a lot to eat here, but they didn’t seem to offer any vegan options. I think tofu scramble and veggie sausage (or soyrizo) should be mandated on every brunch menu in California.
Remember to:
Ask for a to-go cup for your iced tea to take it home with you!
I Rate it:
Four out of Five Melon Slices.
