Catering to both power brokers and neighborhood families, pizza makers flip dough in the open kitchen while heartier appetites can take in house-made pastas or traditional Italian meats and fishes. The stone-walled dining room's vintage chairs and chandeliers help pull in the wide, open space. And depending on where you sit, you can amuse yourself with the black-and-white Italian films projected overhead on one of the walls.

Warner Brothers Studio Tour
The Universal Studios lot is great, but you have to go to the theme park for that tour. So, take the WB Studio Tour instead, or arrange a tour of one of the other big studios near wherever you're staying (Fox, if you're by the beach). Mostly they're all just huge, generic, windowless warehouses that act as soundstages, but each lot has a block of cool New York City facades; plus, WB has the Gilmore Girls' sweet, fake perfect town and, for some reason, Universal still has its Old West set. Either way, it's just fun to see people in silly costumes driving around in golf carts.
Universal Studios
While most first-time Los Angeles visitors consider this to be a must-see stop, bear in mind there many other attractions that define Hollywood that aren't a tourist trap with steep prices. Despite the amusement park clichés, hard-core sightseeing and entertainment junkies will make this required visiting. If you get here when the park opens, you'll likely save yourself from long waits in line—arriving early pays off.
