An Italian Tapas bar you may ask? Why yes, that'd be Bacaro LA. You can get Groupons for Saturday and Sunday tapas including unlimited drinks (i.e.: mimosas) and four tapas. The tapas are pretty big so you will have no problem getting full. It's a bit popular and can get crowded so be prepared to possibly wait for a seat but it's well worth it. The staff are amazing and very helpful.
