Bad Roman is an over-the-top new Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills from the New York restaurant group Quality Branded.
An outpost of their NYC location of the same name, Bad Roman has been making the foodie rounds on Eater, Infatuation, and LA Mag as well as the food-influencer crowd (here, here).
The restaurant is known for its maximalist decor and unique (aka photogenic) takes on classic Italian dishes like a filet mignon with a big gooey cacio e pepe ravioli on top, or a cheesecake in the shape of a lemon (menu).
For a goofy celebratory moment, they also have an ‘Italian Carpool Shot Menu’ with shot glasses glued to the top of little race cars (picture).
For larger private parties, Bad Roman also has event spaces for groups of 20-24 people.
Added value: To stand out in the sea of swanky, small-plates Italian restaurants, you need to do something unexpected, and Bad Roman delivers on that front. From a client dinner or team outing perspective, it feels like a distinctly memorable option and one of those dinners everyone will want to take photos and videos to share on their Story.
