Arrive at happy hour to take part in the camaraderie and savor dishes like salmon carpaccio, shrimp scampi, and mashed potato bacon tacos. When a special occasion arrives, book a reservation at the chic Avenue Italy, an upscale affair dedicated to showcasing authentic Mediterranean dishes like linguine tossed with steamed clams and spaghetti alla bolognese. This, of course, is only the start of Palos Verdes’ spectacular restaurants.
