CHIANTI Los Angeles Vintage MELROSE Italian Restaurant Ceramic CHINA Plate For Sale

In its first period of cool, the dimly lit CHIANTI RISTORANTE, with the murals of elks and trees and hunters served the likes of Humphrey Bogart and W. C. Fields. Then came periods of indifference when, ignored by both critics and scenemakers, Chianti became a forgotten restaurant, a part of L.A. history.In the early ‘80s, Chianti revived itself with a new young chef, Celestino Drago, and a hip, casual add-on space, Chianti Cucina. Lavish praise and boom business followed.
