Chef Edoardo \u201cEdo\u201d Baldi’s new Tuscan steakhouse, Baldi at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, is officially open for dinner seven nights a week. Kim Fox<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Business at Los Angeles restaurants typically slows down during the summer because it\u2019s travel and cookout season for many customers. But as usual, chef <\/span>Edoardo \u201cEdo\u201d Baldi will not be denied.<\/span><\/p>\n

His buzzing new Tuscan steakhouse, <\/span>Baldi<\/span><\/a> at <\/span>Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills<\/span><\/a>, just expanded dinner service to seven nights a week after hearing guests clamor for the proper Baldi experience on Mondays and Tuesdays, which previously had a limited bar menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people that were coming were like, \u2018Oh, we want the full menu,\u2019\u201d Baldi tells Observer of the early week visitors. \u201cI understand it, and I\u2019m totally for it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Baldi is channeling his Tuscan upbringing at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills as he grills prime cuts over olive wood. He is, as always, using time-honored recipes to make some of the most soul-warming pasta dishes in Los Angeles. He says that a big part of his success in L.A. has involved serving \u201chealth-conscious food,\u201d so he\u2019s also got beautiful salads and his famous minestrone with seasonal vegetables on the menu.<\/span>
