Kate Mantilini

Kate Mantilini was a restaurant in Beverly Hills, California, at 9101 Wilshire Boulevard at the corner of Doheny Drive, two blocks from the headquarters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. Harry and Marilyn Lewis opened the restaurant in March 1987 after selling the Hamburger Hamlet restaurant chain for $33 million. (Harry was an ex-actor who had appeared in the film Key Largo.) It was described as a "late night hot spot" and as the "most consistently cool restaurant in Beverly Hills". Starting in 2010, sons David and Adam Lewis took over the management, with Adam serving as executive chef. Marilyn Lewis wrote about the Lewis family's history in the restaurant business in a book titled Marilyn, Are You Sure You Can Cook?
