In the early 1970's our dad opened his first restaurant, Jino's, in Our very same location. He aimed to give the people of Inglewood an option different from the big chains by using quality ingredients and a fresh approach. Our goal at Sunday Gravy is to continue building on that foundation. We proudly serve fresh pasta by Florentyna’s and organically made artisan breads from Cadoro Bakery, both made with pride in Inglewood. At Sunday Gravy, we emphasize the coming together of family, friends, and communities around great food, drink, and conversation.

Italian-American Signatures. Venice After Dark. Scopa Italian Roots is the Venice restaurant that has stayed in demand for more than 11 years by betting on discipline instead of reinvention. Chef Antonia Lofaso built this kitchen on family lineage from Naples and Calabria, formal training in New York, and a career spent in high-pressure kitchens before Scopa ever opened. The food that comes out of this room is not modern Italian. It is old-school Italian-American cooked at a professional LA standard, and it holds up the same way on a packed Saturday as it does on a quiet Monday.Founded by Mario Guddemi and Salvatore Aurora alongside Chef Lofaso, Scopa sits on the same hospitality backbone as Black Market Liquor Bar, The Chestnut Club, DAMA, and Old Lightning. This is a Venice institution built on neighborhood patronage and Italian tradition, not a chef vanity project.2905 Washington Boulevard, Venice. Open nightly.

Located in Santa Monica's Ocean Park neighborhood, Ghisallo has become a beloved community destination, serving Neapolitan-inspired pizzas alongside market-fresh salads, seasonal sides, pastas, hearty entrées, and house-made desserts. The menu is complemented by a thoughtfully curated selection of wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages. Originally launched as a neighboring concept to Jyan Isaac Bread's naturally leavened bakery, Ghisallo has expanded since opening and continues to evolve.Earlier this year, Chef Casey Lane quietly assumed leadership of the kitchen, collaborating closely with acclaimed baker Jyan Horwitz of Jyan Isaac Bread. Together, they refined not one but two signature pizza doughs, preserving the popular daytime pizza slices while introducing a refreshed lineup of New York-style pizzas that build on the restaurant's reputation for exceptional craftsmanship.
