About
When the Drago family was naming the Sherman Oaks restaurant, they wanted a title befitting their love of fresh Italian foods and an homage to their southern Italian heritage. Panzanella seems perfect. Chef Giacomino Drago, the youngest of the five Drago brothers, admits his addiction to the salad. “It really is Italy in a bowl,” he explains. “It has all the main ingredients of Italian cooking: olive oil, tomatoes, basil and onion.” Throw in cucumber and homemade oversized croutons and you’ve got Panzanella. “I always eat this when I’m homesick because it’s what I grew up with in my Sicilian village.”
- Charming, quaint atmosphere. They have great pasta, especially the mushroom raviolis with truffles. Their meat is also excellent and they have a wonderful branzino that is nice for two people to share.Thomas Dyl
