The Power Lunch is back. Nerano Beverly Hills is introducing a refreshed take on the Power Lunch – one that feels refined without feeling formal. Crafted by executive chef Sam Mumford, the new midday offering brings together classic Italian flavors and seasonal ingredients – done right for lunch.

Offered as a $39 pre-fixe menu, Nerano’s Power Lunch is built for the way people lunch now – easy to step into, satisfying and elevated without being heavy. It’s equally suited for business meetings, creative catch-ups or a leisurely lunch that still leaves room to get on with the day.

The menu begins with approachable starters such as house-baked focaccia, insalata rosa or a seasonal soup, followed by a selection of pastas, salads and pizzas that feel right at home at lunch. Entrées include pomodoro e bucatini, paccheri salsa picante, linguine alla Nerano, margherita D.O.C. pizza and insalata rosa di pollo with rotisserie chicken. Guests looking to elevate the experience can also opt for dishes like beef cheek agnolotti or half branzino alla ghiotta, offering a more indulgent option without shifting the tone of the meal.

“Lunch should feel easy, not like a commitment,” Mumford said. “We wanted to create something you could sit down and enjoy – whether you’re talking business or just taking a break – and still feel good heading back into your day.”

Nerano’s Power Lunch is available during weekday lunch service. Reservations are encouraged. Book now via OpenTable or Resy at neranobh.com/reservations.

Nerano Beverly Hills is located at 9960 S. Santa Monica Blvd.
