About Craig's

Craig's on Melrose has operated as West Hollywood's social dining room for over a decade — the kind of place where you come for the pasta and stay because the room is so carefully calibrated it's impossible to leave. Owner Craig Susser runs a tight operation: servers know the regulars, tables are spaced for conversation rather than volume, and the menu covers the Italian-American greatest hits with enough skill to satisfy serious eaters. The truffle pasta is the perennial crowd-pleaser. Come on a Tuesday when the lighting still flatters and the room buzzes with the industry crowd.
