Old House Is Open for Upscale Dining – No Reservations Required

Once inside, you’ll forget it’s a house “Those who are brave enough to knock on the door” are greeted by a host. Many people sit outside. I did too. No knocking required.

Today, I tried the famous Mac & Cheetos. It looks small, but it’s really an entrée. Rich, creamy cheese sauce with a sharp cheddar base, brightened by the zing of crushed hot Cheetos. The pasta is tender but holds its shape, and the dish finishes with a subtle peppery bite and a little tang from the garnish. It’s indulgent, salty, a little spicy, and totally over the top by design. It was fulfilling!

The Attic is one of those stories of business vision and perseverance. Located near Redondo and Broadway, it occupies a beautifully preserved 1920s Craftsman-style house with a wide front porch. Above the porch, a sleek slatted cover stretches over the patio, letting in light while keeping diners shaded. Just off to the side of the house is a full bar with high-top seating.

The vibe is cozy, but not too small for groups or a get-together. It’s the kind of place you take someone for memories and fun.

Due Fiori, Four Months In and the Crowd Outside Is Like a Nightclub

No name on the building yet. During the day, the windows are gated, and it looks like the place could be vacant. But come Wednesday at 5 PM, eager customers are lined up outside like it’s an exclusive club. On weekends, they open for lunch—but even then, the mystery stays intact.

Spotlighted on Eater.com earlier this year, the exterior is painted a minty pastel green—a soft nod to the Italian flag. You enter through a bar-like front: clean, elegant, and moody, with a one-page food menu waiting at the counter. Order first, then take a seat.

Walk through the back, and you're not just in a patio—you’re in a little Italian courtyard, reimagined by someone who shops vintage and collects string lights. Ferns hang from above, a dash of pink meets green, and a red hutch in the corner looks like it came from a farmhouse in Tuscany by way of Retro Row.

I went with the Pappardelle al Limone flat, golden ribbons of pasta with a lemon-kissed cream sauce that somehow felt rich and refreshing at the same time. The lemon wasn’t just in the name—you could taste it in every bite. It finished with a snowfall of Parmesan imported from Italy—the real deal, nutty and sharp, not the stuff you shake from a can. Clean, bright, and quietly luxurious.

Behind the scenes is Chef Waldo Stout, a sourdough savant who trained at Bavel and Pizzeria Sei. He’s joined by Daniel Flores and Gianna Johns of Baby Gee fame. Together, they’ve created something quietly special.

The place feels low-key exclusive, like it’s not trying to be found—but everyone’s finding it anyway. Four months in, Due Fiori is already acting like a classic.
