    We found this part of the Giacomino Drago dining empire (Panzanella, Il Pastaio, Il Buco Ristorante Paninoteca, Shu Sushi, Via Alloro) on our last trip to Beverly Hills and were very pleased with the ambiance, service and cuisine. The lively, contemporary decor sparks an upbeat energy to the place. We enjoyed the beet salad and the polenta with mushrooms. Terrific pastas included tagliolini with scampi and fettuccinis Bolognese and carbonara. The branzino (sea bass) and risotto with lamb chops were wonderful. We chose a young but delightful bottle of 2004 Gaja Sito Moresco Langhe at $132 (3 times retail) to complement the dinner. Corkage is a reasonable $15 if you bring your own bottle. Valet parking is $7.00.
