Our Restaurants
Toscana is a neighborhood trattoria that celebrates the rustic, authentic, source-to-table flavors of Northern Italy. Since 1989, it has stood tall on a corner in Brentwood and set the backdrop for special meals shared by generations of families, friends, and neighbors, as well as valued guests from around the globe, and elites from the worlds of entertainment, sports, and fashion. When they opened Toscana, co-founders Kathie and Mike Gordon wanted their restaurant to feel like home, and to this day, it does just that.

Upstairs from Nerano sits BG, an Italian-American restaurant created by Andy and Carlo Brandon-Gordon and Executive Chef Michele Lisi. The restaurant evokes the essence of the great Italian-American restaurants of mid-20th century in Hollywood and New York where delicious, exceptionally well-prepared food was served in settings that were simultaneously elegant, comfortable and unpretentious, patronized by movie-stars, moguls and godfathers. The food is a nod to that same history. Alongside these culinary delights is an exceptional cocktail program created by chief mixologist, Dorian De Tappan, and a rotating selection of carefully chosen, quality Italian and California wines curated by Nerano Sommelier, Davide Matarazzo.
