EaterWire: Andiamo Opens, Table 8 Discounts, Snout to Tail at Ford's, Beatrice Inn in LA?

SILVER LAKE: We heard the Vespa-delivery hipster pizza joint Andiamo was coming, and good news lazy Eastsiders: It's open. The menu has all the requisite pizza combos on hand-tossed New York-style or whole wheat crusts, plus pastas, salads, paninis. And Vespas!! (2815 Sunset Blvd, 213.483.7070) [EaterWire; photo credit]

CULVER CITY: After his "What is a gastropub" convo, Ben Ford has another lecture/dinner coming up on April 14. "Head to Tail" will explore the philosophies of using an entire animal for deliciously edible things. Neal Fraser from Grace and Nate Appleman from SF's A16 will join in the discussion and collaborate on the menu. Call the restaurant (310.202.1470) to reserve. [EaterWire Inbox]

MELROSE: If it wasn't for this sucky recession business, we'd chalk this up to desperation, but really, it's not a bad deal. Table 8 starts a new $38, three-course prix fixe dinner tonight. $18 wine pairings and Govind Armstrong's seasonal menu Mon-Fri. [EaterWire Inbox]

SOMEWHERE: There's an unconfirmed rumor that the boys (Paul Sevigny, Chloë's brother, is one) behind New York's hipster haunt Beatrice Inn want to bring a similar concept to LA. "Don't think it will be a Beatrice, but similar vibe." [Down by the Hipster]
