| Century City Mall's Entertaining-Appropriate Restaurant Roster Grows With New Toscanova |
|
Restaurateur Agostino Sciandri opened Toscanova in the Westfield Century City mall, where it joins other entertaining-appropriate restaurants. Toscanova features Northern Italian cuisine in a casual, family-style setting. Architect Ralph Gentile designed the space with an outdoor patio with porphyry tiles, ironwork seating, full-length curtains, custom upholstery, and planters. An overhead woven trellis shades diners, and an electronic shade may be rolled out for protection on rainy days.
Inside, the dining room includes a brick wall, hardwood flooring, and a circular wood wine display that serves as a centerpiece. Hand-painted murals adorn the seating area. |
