LA Dining: Tesoro Trattoria

Had dinner with four friends at Tesoro Trattoria.

Food:
Terrific Italian food. I had the Sorano ($13.95) which is farfalle with eggplant, broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, basil, pine nuts with extra virgin olive oil and garlic. Delicious and well presented.

Service:
Friendly and timely service with a smile.

Atmosphere:
Very nice setting. Located walking distance to MOCA, WDCH and the other Music Center venues. Definitely a good option for the business meal, celebration dinner and the more serious date.

Price:
Entrees are around $20 with some in mid-teens. Our party of five with tips got out paying $100 because we all ate pretty lightly. The menu is a la carte so the bill would be higher if we opted in for salads, appetizers, desserts and drinks.

Location:
300 South Grand Avenue
Downtown Los Angeles
Telephone: 213-680-0000

One nice feature is that one can park in the California Plaza parking lot, get a validation from the restaurant and show the attendant your concert ticket as you exit and parking is FREE!

Great food and service. A perfect choice before the theatre. Free parking is great, we recommend parking your car at tesoro, taking the shuttle or walk like we did. With validation and our ticket stubs we paid nothing for parking there for almost 5 hours. what a deal :)
