If you know the
West Los Angeles
food scene, then
you should know
Il Moro,
the chic,
delicious urban
eatery operating
for 14 years in
the business
district on West
Olympic
Boulevard. What
you might not
know about this
Northern Italian
restaurant and
Gastrobar is
that they offer
food to go as
well as offsite
catering, all
services that
add to the fine
reputation,
exceptional
cuisine, and
creative
presentation
that is the
magic of
Il Moro.
Just like the
bars you find in
Italy, the
Gastro Bar at
Il Moro
is open all day
and the food
served is
tailored to
accompany the
beverage
ordered. Though
every hour here
is surely happy,
officially
“happy hour” is
5pm to 7pm,
Monday through
Friday with
complimentary
finger foods
created fresh in
their amazing
kitchen and
served to all
who are lounging
at the luxurious
and beautiful
bar. Tuesday
evenings are
generally
reserved for
wine tastings;
Thursdays and
Fridays, music
often fills the
air - Sundays
are art
receptions - and
of course, every
day is for
dining, your
choice of lunch
or dinner. Other
scheduled events
throughout the
year include
wine dinners and
guest chef
appearances.
Special seasonal
dishes are quite
spectacular here
– namely their
famous signature
dish Tortelloni
di Zucca, which
is pumpkin
tortellini – so
one should
always pay
attention to the
specials as
recited by the
attentive and
knowledgeable
service staff.
Il Moro
is quite frankly
a one stop kind
of restaurant
hang, from
lunch, to the
in-between lunch
and dinner drink
and appetizer (a
perfect way to
spend an
afternoon), to a
fantastic dinner
with fine wine.
Add in the art
receptions, the
live music and
other events,
and well, all in
all,
Il Moro
has more of
everything, and
with the offsite
catering you can
have it
everywhere.
