There seems to be more Italian food than ever in Los Angeles right now, sparked in part by out-of-towners like Etta who have recently set their sights on the city. Next up is Lavo, the ultra-luxe Italian destination known for its clubbier Las Vegas location and its (only slightly) more mellow New York City digs. The restaurant, owned and operated by the busy Tao nightlife group, is taking over the shuttered Roku space on the Sunset Strip, as first reported by What Now LA.

Reps for Tao Group have confirmed the arrival of Lavo, though they’re quick to caution that the new outpost won’t be the same as the decade-old branches found elsewhere. The plan instead is to make this West Hollywood version more of a traditional sit-down restaurant (“no party brunches,” for one) with a primary focus on the food above atmosphere. As for timing, expect the Los Angeles version of Lavo to open sometime in early 2022 at 9201 Sunset Boulevard.
