Dan Tana likes to circulate among his customers.

Early or late, weekday or weekend, it's party time at Dan Tana's. Call for a reservation a day or two ahead and the only tables available are at 5:30 or 10 p.m., making this West Hollywood old-school Italian one of the toughest reservations in town. The regulars are passionate about the place. It's fun. There's always somebody or something to see. The bar makes a strong drink, and the bartender invariably remembers exactly how you like your martini or Manhattan. And, who knows, you might get lucky and end up rubbing shoulders with some kind of star.
