Caffe Primo, Los Angeles

Caffe Primo traces its roots back to 2004, when the small Gelateria began making waves in the LA foodie scene. Today, the menu has expanded to include a host of classic Italian and American dishes ranging from chicken marsala to the Sonoma burger with sun-dried-tomato ketchup and goat cheese. The European-inspired locations promise beautifully wrought, inviting seating where groups can gather for breakfast, lunch, or a late-night nibble.
