On July 25 (8 PM), Wood & Vine executive chef Gavin Mills cooks up a comforting pasta dinner made with fresh summer ingredients. Touted as a summer pasta tasting menu, Mills has crafted a five-course, prix-fixe menu ($48) served for one night only in the restaurant's elegant dining lounge and breezy backyard patio.

Wood & Vine’s setting in the historic Taft Building provides a lovely backdrop to indulge in dishes like Bucatini covered with heirloom tomato sauces, olives, and capers; corn agnolotti served with cilantro salad; market asparagus cannelloni smothered in truffle butter sauce; and potato gnocchi with confit pork belly and arugula. For a sweet sendoff, the chocolate ravioli with peach gelato, and pistachio will have you craving pasta for dessert. Reserve a seat by calling 323-334-3360. 6280 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood
