L'Antica Pizzeria Opens New Lounge Requiring Rapid COVID-19 Test

HOLLYWOOD, CA — A Hollywood Pizzeria has just opened a colorful outdoor lounge adjacent to the building, offering diners a glowing patio to take in their meal. L'antica Pizzeria da Michele, located near the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue, launched the patio to take advantage of Los Angeles' beautiful. weather.

The space will seat up to 55 guests in the outdoor, verdant setting tucked away amid the trees. RGB lights, lamps and accent lighting further sets the mood, allowing for an experience that will stay special long after the last slice.

Owner Francesco Zimone told Eater he designed the space, named Caffè degli Artisti, to be a safer place to eat and lounge while the weather is nice. Diners will be required to show either a negative coronavirus test from the past 24 hours, or take a rapid test on-site, to enter the patio.

The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, and until midnight on Thursday and Friday. Saturday hours are 10 a.m. - 12 a.m., while Sunday's hours are 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
