Bartender

Viale dei Romani is a modern West Hollywood trattoria created by Casey Lane. Inspired first by trips to the mediterranean coasts, our seafood-driven cuisine highlights the principles of Italian cooking with broader Southern French and North African influences.
The menu draws from the rich and far reaching culinary history of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and the Moorish impact on the southern European Coast. Highlights include wood-fired seafood, raw fish preparations, pasta, pizza, and the traditional chickpea crêpe Cecina served with falafel, crudo, and marinated local vegetables; as well as a world class bread program and pastries - with all offerings crafted in-house and by hand.
