One of Hollywood’s most legendary restaurants has been serving its popular lasagna for decades. Although the dish may seem rather pricey, like most of the dishes at the iconic eatery, the hefty helping is more than enough to share.

Viale dei Romani

Viale dei Romani is the Italian talk of the town in West Hollywood. The buzzy Casey Lane spot has lots to enjoy on the menu, but perhaps nothing is as prominent in diners minds than the insanely-layered lasagna.

Angelini Osteria

Copy Link

There may be no more iconic lasagna in all of Los Angeles than Angelini Osteria’s lasagna verde omaggio nonna Elvira. Housemade spinach pasta is layered with beef and veal ragu, béchamel, and parmigiana reggiano. The omission of ricotta keeps the dish surprisingly light, while the signature topping of fried spinach leaves adds a level of textural interplay that all other lasagnas should aspire to attain.

Nightshade

It’s hard to imagine a more popular lasagna right now than the one at Nightshade, Mei Lin’s Asian-leaning Arts District restaurant. The layers are filled to with tofu and spices to resemble a mapo tofu in both texture and taste, but eating the thing inside the decadent dining room, formerly a warehouse, is purely unique to Los Angeles.
