Celeb Rated: Mike Malin & Lonnie Moore
By Tara de Lis, City Editor
As co-founders of L.A.-based Dolce Group, Mike Malin and Lonnie Moore have opened some of the hottest restaurants and nightclubs in Hollywood, such as the original Dolce and Les Deux. When they're not in Los Angeles, these two nightlife impresarios can be found living it up (and working) in Las Vegas and Atlanta.
-
Dolce Enoteca e Ristorante
8284 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA
"After our small tapas bar Belly, Dolce Enoteca was our first restaurant in Los Angeles, and it's so special to us. We love getting a group of friends together on the back patio in the bungalow room and having the chef bring out Italian food, family-style." -
Geisha House
6633 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
"We created Geisha House after spending a considerable amount of time in Japan and Southeast Asia. We wanted to create an unusal Japanese restaurant styled differently from the Zen gardens and trickling fountains at most traditional sushi restaurants. Geisha House is theatrical and vibrant, the scene is very alive. We both love the saketinis and the specialty sushi rolls." -
Bella
6639 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA
"We call Bella 'Dolce's little sister.' Bella serves traditional Italian food and is quaint and comfortable. At lunchtime, you can usually find us [here] in meetings or with friends." -
Ketchup
8590 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA
"We had so much fun creating this restaurant and reverting back to our youthful days in remembering all the classic American dishes we loved. Our favorite dishes are the Kobe Beef Hot Dogs and the Nana's Apple Pie to finish." -
Les Deux
1638 N Las Palmas Ave, Hollywood, CA
"Les Deux is like a European house party. It feels intimate and alive, like you are partying in someone's home. They have a great list of specialty cocktails and great music every night." -
Big Wangs
1562 N Cahuenga Blvd, Hollywood, CA
"Love the plasma TVs and the down-home style of this Hollywood sports bar. It's our favorite place to watch games." -
Petro Zillia
8218 W 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA
"Nony is a great friend of ours and simply put, we love how her clothes look on females! She has a great shop in Hollywood and her clothes are free spirited and fun." -
G-Star Raw
7966 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA
"G-Star jeans are our favorites. The store is right near Dolce, so we pop in all the time." -
Runyon Canyon Park
Franklin and Fuller Ave, Los Angeles, CA

Ten Pin Alley
261 19th St NW, Atlanta, GA
