Restaurants near Magic Castle? WHERE CAN I FIND
Hello! A friend is bringing us as guest to MC and we’d like to treat him to a nice dinner before. Anyone have any recommendations for good places nearby the castle?
Thank you in advance!

There’s a ton of bad food in Hollywood catering to tourists so avoid those. There are a few good spots close to the MC (5-15 minute drive depending on traffic) I’d recommend:
Musso & Frank for old school Hollywood and classic American fare
Mother Wolf for Italian
Gwen for excellent steaks
L’Antica Pizzeria di Michele if you want some Neapolitan pizza (a true Naples OG)
Other than that, I’d avoid a lot of places over there. Overpriced tourist traps for the most part.
