Negroni
Negroni is an international chain from Argentina that tries to do way too much. Located on West 3rd Street in Beverly Grove, this dark cocktail lounge has a huge menu that covers a lot of ground but, unfortunately, doesn’t do anything particularly well. There’s an off puttingly sweet Peruvian-style ceviche, a $32 sushi tasting with chewy fish that hasn’t fully defrosted, and a sad truffle burger with a flavorless, gloopy stracciatella cream. The most interesting aspect of Negroni is, well, its negroni cocktail menu, with various spins on the aperitivo classic, but the versions we tried tasted watered down. On the bright side, the backlit bar is really nice and a great option in the neighborhood for catching up with someone over wine (before you head somewhere else for dinner).
