A Restaurant for Locals & Gourmet Travelers

By admin

[youtube id=”5CPzUCHmmmQ”] by Sophie Gayot If you are going through Los Angeles International Airport (aka LAX) and are looking for a restaurant for dinner, Paparazzi at the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel is a very good option — and there are not that many in the vicinity. If you are close by and craving a nice Italian culinary voyage, don’t hesitate to go there. (The hotel is located on the north side of West Century Boulevard, so make sure to approach it from the right direction as it can be a challenge to make a U-turn on that busy road.) Watch my exclusive video with chef Orazio Parisi, a true Sicilian native, to discover the restaurant and his personal recipe for tuna tartare. Read the just-published review in our restaurant section. The fine work of Parisi has earned the restaurant a spot on GAYOT.com’s list of the Top 10 Los Angeles Italian Restaurants. See more GAYOT.com Los Angeles Top 10 restaurant lists. You can click on each photo to enlarge to see dishes from Paparazzi restaurant menu. All photos by Sophie Gayot.
