Ramona Room

Wood ovens and a room full of plants set the tone at this Sunset Boulevard spot, which has cycled through a vegetarian restaurant and a Middle Eastern kitchen since 2006 before landing on its current run as an amaro and wine bar. Small bites from the cooks behind Elf Cafe, Dune, and Bar Sinizki include loaded tacos and a cubano sandwich, built more for snacking between drinks than a full sit-down meal. Amari, vermouths, sherry, and port fill out the bar alongside a short wine list, with happy hour running weekdays from 5 to 7.
