One of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday is lunch and shopping in Beverly Hills. We had lunch at Bad Roman on Canon Drive, the New York Italian spot that opened here this year, and it is every bit as fun as people say. Here is what we ordered, what to wear for a day of lunch and shopping, and how to plan your visit.

Lunch at Bad Roman

Bad Roman is on North Canon Drive, right in the middle of the Beverly Hills shopping streets, so it is the perfect starting point for a day out. The room is maximalist in the best way, and the menu is playful Italian: crudo, pastas, big salads, and a serious dessert list.

What We Ordered

We started with the crudo and the garlic bread, which is more like a stuffed, bubbling loaf and absolutely worth ordering for the table.

For mains we shared the branzino, a pasta, and a big chopped salad, all generous and easy to pass around.

Save Room for Dessert

Dessert is the headline here. We had the birthday dessert with a candle, plus a trio of others, and every one of them was worth the hype.

What to Wear for Lunch and Shopping in Beverly Hills

For lunch on Canon Drive and an afternoon of shopping, I like an outfit that is polished but easy: a beautiful ivory knit, great flare jeans.

Also right for Canon Drive: the saddle suede loafers, the dark sapphire knit bag, the bronze twist tee, and a black wrap belt to sharpen the knit. The white ash Romily tee is the soft long-sleeve layer, and the Martini ankle boots are the walkable heel. The silver Nadia earrings add a small sparkle, and the black and ecru silk skinny scarf ties the whole look together.

The Jenni Kayne Cable Serena Crewneck is the kind of ivory cable knit you reach for all fall, relaxed but refined, and it layers perfectly for a day in and out of stores. buy it here.

The MOTHER Hustler Ankle Fray jeans in Not Guilty are a bestselling high-rise kick flare with a raw hem, the pair that makes a simple knit look pulled together. Finish with the KREWE Celeste sunglasses in Maple and Crystal Polarized, a squared acetate frame that works with everything. buy it here.
