It's worth visiting Tanino just to marvel at the 1929 Italianate Renaissance-style building, one of only 12 remaining since Westwood's founding days. Designed by renowned Southern California architect Paul Revere Williams, the decor consists of magnificent original ceiling frescos, carvings, murals, and artisan plaster that blends well with the checkerboard terrazzo marble flooring, dark hardwoods, sumptuous booths, wrought-iron chandeliers, and candlelit tables -- an ideal setting for a romantic evening. Chef/owner Tanino Drago (scion of L.A.'s well-known Drago restaurateur family) has created a menu based on regional dishes from his native home of Sicily; most dishes are cooked cartoccio-style (in their own juices), such as lamb shank osso buco atop soft polenta, roasted rabbit in green Mediterranean olive sauce, and striped bass baked in papillote with white wine. Be sure to start with the tortellini in brodo, house-made tortellini in a pheasant broth with black truffles. A wide array of pasta and risotti are available as well. The charming Italian-accented servers add to the faux-Mediterranean atmosphere. Tip: Arrive a little early to enjoy a glass of grappa by the fireplace.
