I have officially found my favorite Italian place! It's Davie's best-kept secret, Tommy's Italian Restaurant, where the food is fresh, homemade, and amazing. This restaurant had me enamored from the moment I walk in. The decor is amazing (New York meets Italy). Every detail is accounted for, especially their food. Everything from the lunch to the dinner menu is cooked to order. Even the desserts are made from a pastry chef. First, it is an absolute must to start their meals with the MeatballTini, which are homemade meatballs beautifully placed in a martini glass. Click Here for InTown's Listing of Tommy's Italian Restaurant.
Tommy’s Italian has also made a gluten-free menu! They’ve created gluten-free meals that include shrimp marinara, calamari scampi, and chicken bonapart (divine!). Eat your soup in a one-of-a-kind mini-pot, and catch their dinner specials ($15 per person), which consist of their pasta of the day, pork chop bonapart, horseradish encrusted tilapia, and much more. Once you’ve finished eating your delicious entrée, save room for dessert. I highly recommend the heavenly, mouthwatering White Russians and mini-shots of tiramisu, key lime, and chocolate mousse.

You cannot find food like this anywhere! They are personal recipes of Tommy’s and his daughter, Sabrina, who are each award-winning executive chefs in their own right. Ask for the fresh-baked bread served with “schmutz” (Tommy’s name for an olive oil, cheese, and herb dip). The feel of this family restaurant is warmly there. The staff will bend over backwards to meet your every whim, which is quite refreshing. They carry a vast knowledge in foods, including nutrition, and always have the answer for your dining satisfaction….or can pull a “life-line” to get it. Tommy’s Italian Restaurant will also make surefire, homemade goodness for the kids (1/2 portion and ½ price). Ask about their Little Chef classes on Saturday. Stop by Tommy’s Italian Restaurant and I guarantee you will be coming back for more! Click Here for Tommy’s Italian Restaurant’s website.

The people at Harrison’s Wine Bar, also known as Rich and Mary, definitely knew what they were doing here. Click Here for InTown’s Listing of Harrison’s Wine Bar.
Harrison’s Wine Bar has a wonderfully vast selection of wines in addition to beers, martinis, and drinks.

“Bon Appetit,” said the waitress as she served the complimentary baguettes with olive butter (homemade, of course). Bistro 1902 brings the French experience to the fullest extent….and it’s right in the comfort of Hollywood Boulevard. However, nothing less should be expected when their executive chef has cooked for Le Jules Verne at the Eiffel Tower.

Celebrate life at night here! Bistro 1902 has live music every Friday night. Feast on the delicious slices of fresh duck foie gras glazed with raspberry vinegar.

It is braised for four hours in a red wine sauce and served with carrots, onions, and pasta. Cooked to perfection! Don’t forget the crème brulee! It is truly a divine dessert cooked with berries and a generous sweet topping. Click Here for Bistro 1902’s website.

Forget the New York slice! All you have to do is come to Pizza Rustica for a great pizza. Located in the heart of Hollywood, their relaxed and fun atmosphere is the perfect compliment to their delicious food. You can come solo, sit at the counter, and hang with the great staff there, or come with a group of friends. Pizza Rustica is prepared for it all. They have pizzas by the slices, or you can order “The Humongous Pizza”, which is 24” by 24”. Click Here for InTown’s Listing of Pizza Rustica.
Feeling adventurous? Pizza Rustica has the traditional pizzas alongside very unique ones. Ever heard of Chocolate Pizza? I highly recommend it for anyone who loves Hazelnut Chocolate Nutella. The crust is filled with the rich goodness of it. Salad pizzas, veggie pizzas, paninis, and mezzanine are also offered in their abundant menu. Pizza Rustica also keeps up with the rest.

Yogurt Ur Way Cafe is clean, simple, and delicious! This Hollywood yogurt shop has a variety of flavors. From the classic vanilla and chocolate to the wonderful thin mint (Hello, Girl Scout Cookies!) and cappuccino flavors, there are 40 rotating flavors here. The best part is you can serve yourself. Yes, you have the power to fill that yogurt to the top of your cup. Yogurt Ur Way has a selection that cannot be matched. Click Here for InTown’s Listing of Yogurt Ur Way Cafe.
What’s yogurt without toppings? Yogurt Ur Way has a spotless counter for theirs. I hate when the various toppings get mixed together, but that does not happen here. They are clearly separated and as a result, delicious! The granola is such a great, crunchy contrast to the yogurt. The fruit toppings, such as strawberries, cherries, and blueberries, are such a healthy treat. In my opinion, nothing beats those lychee boba (there’s also mango and strawberry boba). Click Here for InTown’s Gallery of Yogurt Ur Way.
The only thing better than frozen yogurt and your choice of toppings is putting it in a fresh-made waffle bowl. And that is available at Yogurt Ur Way. They tend to stand out from all the other frozen yogurt places because they can read my mind. How did they know I think the best thing to eat with something sweet is something savory? And Yogurt Ur Way has all of that! Alongside the various yogurts are wraps, including fajita chicken, teriyaki, tuna salad, and veggie burger, and salads. They also offer coffee and croissants. It’s as if they know our hunger for contrasting tastes. Click Here for Yogurt Ur Way Cafe’s Facebook page.
Bimini Boatyard is in a class of it’s own! They will undeniably provide you with an exquisite and memorable dining experience. As I walked inside the venue, I was reminded of a tropical paradise. There are comfortably large chairs and couches for luxury seating, a blue décor reminiscent of the ocean, and coincidentally, a beautiful waterfront view. Yes, you can pull up to Bimini by car or boat. The dock boards right up to their patio bar and tables (the dolphin deck). Click Here for InTown’s Listing of Bimini Boatyard.
You can dine inside or on the patio. The view is beautiful either way. The food is just as pleasing. I highly recommend you start any meal with the World Famous Bimini Bread, a sweet, rich treat. It is the perfect compliment to their seafood chowder, served everyday. The chef’s signature seafood dishes, such as succulent lobster tails and Caribbean spiced salmon, are just as delectable as they sound. Bimini Boatyard is such a treat that many rent out their rooms for banquets, rehearsal dinners, and baby showers. Their gorgeous Bahamas room can hold up to 110 people. Perfect for a party! Click Here for InTown’s Gallery of Bimini Boatyard.
Looking for Sunday brunch? Bimini serves the best brunch at a great value. Their presentation alone will have you in awe. The life-size boat is perched inside and filled with fresh seafood. An omelet station lets you personalize your food, and icluded with brunch is a Bloody Mary, Mimosa, or Champagne. Bimini’s three bars also provide delicious specialty frozen drinks. Come in for their Happy Hour everyday from 4pm – 8pm. The cherry on top at Bimini is the service. It is absolutely exceptional and truly one of the best! Click Here for Bimini Boatyard’s website.
