A big Italian import has quietly landed in Los Feliz this week. Dal Milanese, the upscale-casual restaurant that first started in Milan, Italy, has opened at 2064 Hillhurst Avenue in the former Puran’s restaurant space, serving up a wide array of classic Italian and Milanese dishes straight from the homeland.

Dal Milanese is the first stateside restaurant location for the Luca Guelfi Company, which operates a number of restaurants and clubs in and around Milan. Guelfi is a famed global restaurateur with a few dozen projects under his belt over the past 30-plus years, from cantinas and coastal getaways to more formal dinner-only places.
