Registration includes FREE drink ticket, cash bar and menu, and complimentary entry to win a FREE $100.00 gift card from Vespaio. And in the spirit of giving, a donation will be made to a local non-profit.

Just across the courtyard from Downtown's new Broad Museum, Vespaio offers Italian fare, making the expansive space a particularly useful kind of restaurant. The menu boasts everything from baby kale salads with beef heart tomatoes, seared carpaccio with watercress, and homemade potato topini pasta with scampi and artichokes. Entrees include a whole baked sea bream with sliced potato and olives, or a massive 32 ounce Snake River Farms Wagyu top sirloin roasted in the wood-fired oven. For more shareable bites, consider the frutti di mare pizza or flatbread with brussel sprouts, pancetta, and cherry tomatoes. Designed by Ralph Gentile Architects and placed at the foot of Related's new Emerson Building, the yacht-inspired look is easily one of the most polished, elegant places to debut in Los Angeles.

Parking: Valet Parking is $8.50 First 2 hours with validation $15.00 maximum. Street parking and self parking lots are available in the area as posted.
