Mediterraneo

Mediterraneo Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: You may be in the distant L.A. suburb of Westlake Village, but this agreeable hotel restaurant provides a satisfying Mediterranean experience.

Food & Drinks: In the evening, diners might begin with panzanella salad, grilled calamari with mustard vinaigrette, or traditional arancini (cheese-filled crispy rice balls), before moving on to pastas, then steaks or Moroccan-spiced lamb chops finished in the wood-burning oven. Finales include panettone bread pudding and an apple-cranberry crisp. Prix-fixe menus are very attractively priced, the bar serves craft cocktails, and the wine list puts its focus on Italy and France. The dining room is a handsome, comfortable space with a large fireplace and lakeside views, suitable for a variety of occasions.
