The Top 19 Wine Bars Near Taco Nazo
-
Rank 1. Agnes Restaurant & Cheesery
American
You enter through a cheesery lined with bottles, past owners who understand that good food begins with good cheese and wine. The open hearth commands the room while the kitchen cycles through fried chicken with sambal honey and house-made pastas that taste like they know their source.
-
Rank 2. Manuela
Southern
In a stark gallery-like room within the Hauser & Wirth complex, the open kitchen channels Southern restraint through locally sourced ingredients and house-made cocktail components. Biscuits arrive warm and laminated; a roasted duck breast arrives bronzed and spare, balanced on smoked onion purée with peaches—the work of a kitchen that knows when to stop.
-
Rank 3. Redbird
Contemporary
A converted church in Downtown with soaring ceilings and two circular bars draws a boisterous crowd trading small plates and cocktails under the open roof. The global menu balances playful invention—Meyer lemon tart with blueberry frozen yogurt—against grounded dishes like John Dory in leek fondue, each confident in its own register.

Italian

Rank 5. Pine & Crane
Asian
A spare café across from Sunset Triangle serves serious Taiwanese cooking in a brick-and-concrete room that belies its ambitions. The three-cup Jidori chicken in clay pot and vegetarian mapo tofu show equal care.

Rank 6. Osteria Mozza
Italian
Dark wood and white marble frame a counter where antipasti come together in real time. Nancy Silverton's team treats bread and mozzarella as separate languages within Italian cooking, moving with equal confidence through crispy chicken legs and orecchiette studded with sausage. A rosemary olive oil cake with brittle and olive oil gelato closes the meal with understated elegance.

Rank 7. Rossoblu
Emilia-Romagna Italian
Steve Samson's restaurant channels the cooking of Emilia-Romagna with unadorned clarity—redeye tuna tartare arrives with avocado purée and lavash, housemade tagliatelle swims in pork-and-beef ragù, tiramisu arrives topped with candied cocoa nibs. The pleasure here is in quality ingredients and restraint, not innovation.
-
Rank 8. Tomat
Californian New American
A pale-green dining room dressed in rust-leather banquettes sets the stage for seasonal cooking that takes shape as evening falls. The kitchen moves deftly through local produce—charred vegetables nested in ajo blanco, a Liberty Farms duck split and crisped, dressed with pomegranate-walnut mole—and closes with sticky toffee pudding and burnt-milk gelato. The effect is farm-direct without the fuss.

The warm service and memorably buzzy atmosphere deliver an unmistakably Los Angeles experience.

Rank 11. Rustic Canyon
Market-driven New American
Rustic Canyon treats the farmers market as its playbook, building a menu of unfussy, sturdy dishes—terrines and roasted chicken alongside bay scallops in saffron—within a Santa Monica dining room whose warm light and close booths feel made for lingering. The seasonal cocktails arrive with the same market logic, and twenty years of community traffic has only deepened the place's sense of purpose.

Rank 12. Vin Folk
Wine Bar
Kevin De Los Santos and Katya Shastova have opened a neighborhood wine bistro in Hermosa Beach where the mussels tart arrives in flaky pastry with fennel cream, and chili crab nestles into warm risotto. The room feels unhurried, the wine list approachable, the cooking deliberately generous—each plate designed for sharing, each flavored with a wandering international hand. Book ahead.
