Desert Rose nears completion in Los Feliz

We stopped by Desert Rose on the corner of Hillhurst and Prospect, where workers are finishing up a huge outdoor patio in front of the restaurant. The inside is looking nearly done, but one of the partners I spoke with was fairly taciturn. Full bar. French and Italian food. Opening targeted in "three weeks." That's all we got. Not sure why it's called Desert, or Rose. And there's a "help wanted" banner in front, if you're looking.

In back, Cruzer Pizza already seems to be open, tucked into a tiny take-out space. Can Silver Lake/Los Feliz handle all this new pizza? Garage Pizza is opening soon on Sunset and Fountain, and another place is opening on Hoover near Melrose. We've been really happy with Tomato Pie so far, so we haven't tried Andiamo yet.

Greetings, Eating L.A., Accorsi Architecture has been seeing a LOT of interest in this project that’s a very personal one for us. Owner Jeff Richa intends to run a first-rate establishment that will be a substantial enhancement to this fantastic neighborhood, with excellent Mediterranean food and a relaxed, romantic atmosphere. He’s up to his ears right now finishing construction and hiring all the right people. “Desert Rose” evokes for him the OASIS feeling he wants to create: a place to enjoy good food, good friends, and L.A.’s beautiful weather. The finished restaurant will feature an exquisite stained-glass rose sculpture on the corner above the entrance, with stained-glass motifs continuing throughout. Feel free to call us @ 323.666.3366 if you have other questions at the moment. We appreciate your interest.

And our friends at Cruzer Pizza have hit the ground running with an extensive menu that includes a healthy low carb pizza with whole-wheat dough. Give them a try. Our understanding is that business is booming!
