There are some great restaurants situated on trendy and prestigious Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood.
There's Comme Ca, Taste and Luques to name a few. And then there's Ago - probably the best Italian restaurant in the area and one of the finest in Los Angeles.
Ago is bustling and busy and a favorite of celebrities. Owned by Robert De Nero and the Weinstein brothers, Argo is named for its chef Agostino Sciandri.
For starters I recommend the Insalata di Carciofi - delicious baby artichoke frisee with shaved parmesan, or the Burrata, a decadently creamy mozzarella served with green beans. The bread basket featured crunchy olive bread accompanied with an outstanding virgin olive oil.
For the main course I loved the Filetto di Salmone alla Griglia - grilled salmon in a lemon and caper sauce, served with giant green asparagus - is one of the most delicious salmon dishes I've ever had. Their pasta choices are equally good, and they also serve simple pizzas.
There's a tempting selection of desserts including a heavenly chocolate tart, bite-sized cannolis with berries, or cheesecake.
The exceptional food and highly attentive staff makes dining at Ago a wonderful and memorable experience.
