Worthy Picks
7.9
A 1954-era Italian steakhouse and jazz club that trades on its preserved vintage interior—red leather booths, iron chandeliers, wood-paneled walls—and a menu of old-school Italian American steaks and pastas priced well below comparable LA spots (porterhouse at $25, filet at $26). The kitchen delivers strong nights and off nights, with dish preparation swinging noticeably between visits, but 72 years of continuous family ownership and a recent turn as an HBO filming location keep Eagle Rock regulars coming back for the atmosphere as much as the food.
Must-Try Dishes:
Porterhouse Steak, Calamari, Chicken Parmesan
What Makes it Special: A 1954-era Italian steakhouse and jazz club serving old-school Italian American fare with live music seven nights a week in Eagle Rock.
