Trastevere
1360 Third Street Promenade, (310) 319-1985.
If you close your eyes, this trattoria-pizzeria feels so Italian that you might think you are in Italy. However, part of the fun at Trastevere is watching the street parade, so seat yourself outside in good weather, open up those eyes, and enjoy the show. You might even spot a star. Inside, high ceilings and cloth-covered tables provide an equally inviting setting. After ordering, a complimentary basket of bread and some tasty chopped olive spread appears. Well-priced lunch specials include pastas, sandwiches, and pizzas. My favorites on the regular menu are a really good eggplant-tomato pasta sauce on linguini. I have my eye on pasta al salmone for next time, and many veggie options are available.
