	Il Piccolino 350 N. Robertson Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90048 310-659-2220	The new "it" spot for A-listers from music, movie, television and fashion to royals, socialites, business celebrities, atheletes, politicos, literati and beautiful people. Legendary restaurateurs Eddy Kerkhofs and "Silvio" didn't even pick up the phone to tell anyone they were opening - and the place was a smashing success in days! It's not easy getting a table at this heavenly hideaway in the city, but if you drop a VERY special name it might help. "Mr. Collins."
