Hill-dwelling locals support this earthy and organic Italian spot in a cozy canyon nook.

In Short
In this subterranean refuge, a luxurious tapestry-bedecked room buzzes with contented folks enjoying healthy, inventive Italian fare. Glittering starlets and industry hot shots lounge beneath folk-art paintings and hanging lamps that emit a subdued light to ensure everyone looks gorgeous. Salads and soups rotate, reflecting seasonal specialties, but Pace's mythical California-style pizzas are the real draw; its sourdough crust narrowing to a razor thinness, studded with eclectic ingredients.
