Terra

Above Eataly's marketplace in Century City, Terra runs its kitchen off one wood-burning grill, sending out tagliata, grilled shrimp and charred artichokes to rooftop tables looking out over the hills and palm trees. The food stays close to familiar California-Italian ground -- burrata, branzino, fresh pasta -- while the bar pours spritzes suited to sitting outside for a while. Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday mornings, with a happy hour on weekday afternoons.
