Best SushiLittle Tokyo (this would be my last meal... the shrimp sauce is out of this world) I recommend the spicy salmon, spicy tuna and avocado, discovery roll, seaweed salad and fried rice with shrimp sauce. Also, I'm obsessed with their pinot noir.

Best Brick Oven PizzaCucina Bella, it's BYOB and the walls are covered in wine glasses. One of the pizzas has coffee sprinkled on top-- might be the best pizza I've ever tasted.

Best Italian FoodGirasole or Il Pizzaiolo (a tie). Girasole is BYOB... get the ravioli or lobster squid ink pasta. Il Pizziaiolo, get the caprese salad, penne alla vodka and prosciutto and arugula pizza. Il Pizzaiolo back patio makes you feel like you are actually in Italy and their wine bar is cozy and chic all at the same time.

Best Nail Salon M Nails or Envy Nails
