Nestled behind the swanky lobby of the Shay Hotel in Culver City is a lively destination for any fan of Italian food, or even those just looking for a fun night out. Prima Donna has everything – a wood-fired oven, creative cocktails, even a DJ – and it combines comforting Sicilian staples with an upbeat atmosphere that is sure to satisfy anyone hungry for a good time.

The dining room finds a balance between being spacious and comfortable – the exposed brick, dim lighting and minimalistic décor are effortlessly cool without being pretentious. But the atmosphere really comes to life when the place is packed, and Prima Donna becomes a party – or more fittingly, a “festa.”
