The Nice Guy Menu
RestaurantThe Nice Guy at The Nice Guy brings a polished Italian-American dinner experience to La Cienega Boulevard, pairing classic comfort dishes with upscale ingredients and a lively cocktail program. The current menu spans antipasti, salads, pizzas, handmade-style pastas, seafood, steaks, sides, desserts, wine, beer, signature cocktails, and thoughtful zero-proof drinks. Standouts include Molinari’s Meatballs, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Lobster Pizza, The Nice Guy Burger, and premium cuts such as dry-aged ribeye and Westholme Wagyu New York strip.
Pricing is firmly upscale, with starters around $17-$34, pizzas mostly $26-$37, pastas about $31-$66, and larger entrées reaching $97. Portions and ingredient choices-including bluefin tuna, fresh black truffle, lobster, seasonal produce, and quality cheeses-support the premium positioning. Vegetarian dishes are clearly available, gluten-free pizza crust is offered for an additional charge, and gluten-free pasta may be available; salads, seafood, and vegetable sides provide lighter choices.
