La Scala

A classic Beverly Hills lunch spot, this place has the best chopped salad, which they do Italian-style and allow you to modify it to your liking from a long list of fresh items. They also have a large selection of antipasti, soups, panini, fresh, homemade pastas and more. It’s been around forever and probably always will be. There’s another, less-buzzy (read: quieter) outpost in Brentwood.
