They added a chic touch alongside the old-school chandeliers and dark wood paneling. A classic Italian restaurant off West Hollywood's famous Melrose Avenue, Cecconi's frequently appears on lists for the "top power lunch spots" and has been known to attract everyone from Beyoncé to Prince Harry. "It was not easy to do. We scrapped it for probably a year and a half, we stopped and I just said 'I can't do it...it cannot be done," shared Mahler.
THE MENU
"I love it too," Michael Benjamin, owner of the pizza shop, said. I'm picky about my pizza choices and RHoP is near the top of my list. And in a city with one of the most competitive culinary scenes in the world, there are dozens of places nearby where you can dazzle a client — with both the scenery and the pasta. Served alongside peppadew peppers, which added a kick of heat, the octopus was begging for something to brighten up the plate — whether it be a cooling sauce or a bigger splash of acidity.

Pizza may not be for everyone, but I guarantee you will find something that you love on our menu. It was a lovely pie and the highlight of the lunch, but you can find even better (and cheaper) pizzas at nearby Pizzana or Jon & Vinny's. Cecconi's cavatelli lamb ragù is $14 cheaper, but it's still a very pricey dish, and the flavors just didn't warrant the expense, in my experience. The cavatelli was chewy, overcooked, and only coated with a light layer of the ragù.

My friend and I had no trouble getting a table, realizing why as we walked up the driveway and into the restaurant. Extensive research and experimentation went into the Asian-style pizza crust.

Bright pops of color and a bold floor gave the restaurant a more modern vibe than I expected.
Cecconi's octopus unfortunately didn't live up to those memories, nor did it come close to some fantastic plates I've had on recent trips to Mexico (Ziggy's octopus in Tulum, I will never forget you). The octopus had a soft texture — no easy feat with such a tricky protein. But the meat was so charred on the outside that it completely overwhelmed the flavor. My drink had a lovely sunny hue that brightened up the very cloudy LA day, with flavors to match. It was a sweet and zingy drink, and the ginger candy garnish was a fun touch. We were seated next to the wraparound bar in front of one of the doors that opened up to the patio.
Rehoboth House of Pizza: Great pizza, sauce, and family atmosphere
Cecconi's has always been a magnet for the A-list and princes. Enzo Cecconi opened the first location in 1978, bringing "fresh pasta, beef carpaccio, tiramisu, and Bellini cocktails" to the British, according to the restaurant's website. He said his wife, Fatima, was in the pizza shop every day during the pandemic cleaning everything and getting everything prepared for when they open their doors again. Benjamin said currently the business is open Tuesday through Sunday from 3 to 8 p.m.
Solo dining,
He said the business has beer and wine license to serve at the bar. This resulted in them having to change the hours due to not having enough help. Michael Benjamin said the hardest thing has been finding employees to work for the business since the pandemic started. Mackenzie Benjamin, youngest daughter of Michael Benjamin, is the manager of the family owned business.
Overall, our lunch at Cecconi's was a letdown.
He said if he can find more help then he will expand his hours, but in the meantime what they have is the best for their business. Benjamin said their pizza is a Greek-style with a thin crust, and the sauce is crushed tomatoes and own blend of spices of salt, sugar, pepper, garlic and oregano. Since 2007, Rehoboth House of Pizza delivers to all homes in Rehoboth and Seekonk every day.
I had heard there was a secret Cecconi's burger, but our waiter revealed it only makes special appearances (usually during happy hour). I also inquired about the $26 "Piatto Unico" on the menu, which we learned is a lunchtime special that changes weekly and always features a protein, side, and salad. The phrase "power lunch" can bring to mind a vision of stuffy and dated interiors, but I loved the leather turquoise chairs and black-and-white striped floor in Cecconi's dining room.
A great plate can immediately transport me back to childhood summer days spent in tavernas overlooking the Aegean Sea, our table covered in a seafood feast. One of the highlights of our lunch was the extremely kind waiter, who highly recommended we get a pizza — which ended up being the best dish of the day. I've lived in LA for the past few years but had never dined at Cecconi's. We now live in a hybrid world, but the "power lunch" is due for a comeback.
"The goal was to get a crispy outside, but still a chewy inside like mochi." We believe that great food shouldn't come at a steep price. That's why we provide generous portions of high-quality ingredients at an unbeatable value. Come in and see for yourself how we're serving up our promise of great value every day.
I've always had a deep love for pasta, so I'm very good at convincing myself to shell out for a pricey dish on special occasions. While the atmosphere was as lovely as the service, and we didn't have to wait long for our meal — all important factors in a good "power lunch" — the food just didn't live up to the hype. I grew up next to a wood-oven pizza restaurant that my family would visit weekly, and Cecconi's wood-fired spicy salami pie captured my nostalgia.
She said all of her siblings had turns helping out the family business, but that she has been the last one to stick around. Benjamin, eldest son of George Benjamin, bought the business back in 2007 after hearing that the previous owners were looking to sell the business.
