The scoop
This is chef Raphael Lunetta's neighborhood spot at 2420 Pico Boulevard — lunch during the week, weekend brunch, and dinner Tuesday through Saturday. Yelp still lists it as Lunetta All Day; the official site is Lunetta, same address, same hours. There's a patio, and free parking in the rear.
What to get
At dinner, the plate regulars point to is the Salmon Creek Farms pork chop, listed on the official dinner menu posted March 2026 with polenta, Swiss chard, and apple chutney. Menus change, so confirm it's still on. For brunch, the lemon ricotta pancakes are the dish OpenTable diners keep naming.
When to go
Dinner is Tuesday–Saturday from 5 p.m. Sunday runs 10 a.m.–3 p.m. only, and Monday is closed. Golden Hour is Tuesday–Saturday 3–5 p.m. Book on OpenTable. OpenTable's hours don't always match the official site, so check before you go.
Who it's for
People who want a casual neighborhood meal — brunch, lunch, or dinner — without going downtown. OpenTable diners describe a family-friendly room.
Kids: A reasonable pick with young kids, especially at brunch. There's no kids' menu on the official site, but reviewers mention kids doing well with the ricotta pancakes.
Insider tips
- Large free parking in the rear of the building.
- Sunday service ends at 3 p.m., and Monday is dark — don't plan a late Sunday dinner.
- The restaurant says the patio is the quieter space.
