Wally's Beverly Hills

On our lists of the best wine bars and special-occasion restaurants in Los Angeles.

A retail wine shop occupies the back half of this Canon Drive address, with a cheese counter greeting guests just inside the front door. Marble communal tables sit under walls stacked floor to ceiling with bottles. The sidewalk patio fills with after-work drinkers over glasses of wine, and a carbonara pizzetta is a regular order alongside the cheese boards, with takeout through Toast and reservations through OpenTable for anyone staying to eat.
