La Scala

If The Godfather had been filmed in Beverly Hills, there would definitely have been a scene set in La Scala. This is a classic Italian spot, full of red booths, Shahs of Sunset, and, back in the day, Larry King. And they’re all ordering one thing: Leon’s Chopped Salad, with as many substitutions and additions as you see fit. We think pepperoncini are mandatory, others swap out the salami for chicken or turkey, and so on. This is a classic BH lunch spot if there ever was one, but if you find yourself here for dinner, the eggplant parmesan and the bolognese have never done us wrong.
