Mi Piace

In a neighborhood where even Gelson’s is a place to see-and-be-seen, Mi Piace’s sophisticated, urban vibe is clearly quite a hit with the “we’ve got a babysitter tonight” Calabasas crowd. Service is well on the attentive side, making the sleek, modern interior even more enjoyable. Sit inside for a view of the uber-lively kitchen, or outside on the patio where breakfast, lunch and dinner are also served. Menu dishes include loads of pasta options, with everything from New England mussels to Atlantic Salmon mixed in, as well as a delectable, never-ending dessert menu (the restaurant is famous for its bakery). While Friday and Saturday nights are most popular, reservations are recommended every night of the week, and you’re bound to see your next-door-neighbor-talent-agent-cum-movie-producer dining two tables down. The famed wine list can get you into trouble … but rest assured - the babysitter is taking care of everything at home.
