A dim, glamorous little Italian wine bar tucked on C Ave, one block off Orange. Chef-driven handmade pastas, a serious wine and cocktail list, and occasional live music make it the village's go-to grown-up date spot. Dinner only most nights, so plan around the 4pm open.

Fast-casual grass-fed burgers, shakes, and onion rings on Orange. It's a small California chain, so not a hidden gem, but it's the village's default burger stop and reliably family-friendly. There's a solid quinoa veggie burger too.

The Hotel del's pizza-and-wine spot: wood-fired pies, a curated cheese-and-charcuterie market, and a deep wine list. It sits on the Del grounds rather than in the village, so it's a distinct stop even if you've already got the hotel pinned. Pricier for the resort setting.
Hours: Sun 11am–8pm · Mon 11am–8pm · Tue 11am–8pm · Wed 11am–8pm · Thu 11am–8pm · Fri 11am–8pm · Sat 11am–8pm
