Downtown LA’s Historic Core is a story of contrasts. Next to yesteryear’s aging nickelodeons it’s no surprise to find a bustling boutique hotel, or to uncover a vegan-vending pizza stand among stalls of parked vehicles. It’s as if layers of the city’s history converge at its heart, creating a harmonious discord that excites, delights, and surprises just like its quivering quakes. Every nook and cranny must be explored to fully apprehend the mysteries and marvels that lie along the fault lines of this city’s teeming streets.

The dining room of Terroni, occupying the former space of the National City Bank, is a story of details. Or rather, a designer’s paradise. Grab a seat at the bar, communal table, or expansive dining room, and take note of all the attention to detail. Table numbers are inscribed in Italian on all of the dining surfaces, custom patterns are etched into banquets, and larger-than-life super graphics loom above diners’ heads creating a space that is a balance of casual and funky. The edible offerings aren’t so bad, either. Bring a group of friends, and share a selection of caliber house made pastas, pizzas, and entrees.
