Great 2nd meal at Magari

Americas - USA West Los Angeles

Really impressed after 2 dinners at Magari.

Despite the Tokyo - Italian billing it is much more Italian - Tokyo.
Portions are on the small and pricey side.

Four of us loved the pastas - especially the tomato broth of the angolotti

Eggplant Parmigiana Agnolotti

shio koji-parmigiano brodo

Creste Di Gallo

braised duck, peas, yamamomo gremolata

Lamb ribs were very good too.
My fav dish was the ika putttanesca - great sauce and tender squid.

Grilled Yari Ika Squid

tuna puttanesca

Lobster was tasty but very little food - would not order again. Milanese was dry (but as @robert pointed out recently, aren’t they all) but good greens and cheese

Wonderful space.
Excellent cocktails.
This one reminded me of the banana blini / caviar dish at Angler

Kodawari | Old Fashioned

whiskey, toasted sesame, banana, black walnut, amontillado

Great people and chef watching too.

Found metered spaces - on Sunset once and El Centro the other time. But I assume there is a lot in the Neuhouse complex.
