Hidden among warehouses, Gardena-based restaurant, Eatalian Café, can be found bustling throughout the day with pizza and gelato lovers. Eatalian Café prides itself on not only making the most fresh and delicious foods you have ever tasted but for having great performance – and we’ll be the first to say they live up to this!
Ran by Atonio Pellini and his family, Eatalian Café, uses nothing but the freshest ingredients available making sure all its pastas, dough, sauces, gelato, bread and pastries all freshly made every morning! Our mouths are watering just thinking about tasting the freshly baked Tortelli di Zucca (fresh squash ravioli)!
Eatalian also makes sure that all of its foods are filled with passion, memory, tradition and love. The best part about this place is that it is 100 % authentic since the owners of the restaurant are from Ventoso, Italy (a village of about 800) and grew up cooking their own recipes using the freshest ingredients – they are naturals!
You must go and try one of their thirty famously delicious thin pizzas!
Just opened this year, Tar & Roses brings an element, we feel, the West Side of LA had been missing – a spot where you can enjoy the tastiest and unique foods in great company. Santa Monica-native Andrew Kirschner is the new Chef and Owner of the new small-plates spot conveniently located on 6th & Santa Monica. We recently just visited the restaurant ourselves and were blown away. This unconventional restaurant is a hit for their unexpected combinations of foods and unique flavors. Start with their unique take of popcorn at the bar. This organic popcorn is mixed with a smoky and spicy mix of bacon, brown sugar and chili. The LA Times described it as “a bowl of Cracker Jack with chewy cubes of bacon instead of peanuts.” And if you are still feeling like stepping outside the box for dinner, we highly recommend ordering the Wood Roasted English Peas with a side Charred Octopus. Or if you go the more conventional route, try the Grilled Asparagus and a Hanger Steak. Make sure to take a peek at the dessert menu too, you won’t want to pass up the Affogato!
No matter what item you choose off the menu you will not be disappointed. Considering the quality and the amount of food we ate, we felt the prices were quite modest. And we especially got a kick at the end of our night, when we received our bill. We were handed a manila envelope with “The Damage” stamped on the front – talk about a fun finale to an amazing night of food. Tar & Roses is a must for the next time you want a trendy yet comfortable night on the town, but don’t just take it from us, go experience it for yourself!
Opened in the mid-seventies, Raoul’s is a Soho standard with an air of Europe, the way Soho used to be, before it became a haven of yuppies, communal tables, and high-fashion boutiques. While we try to hit the latest and greatest in New York hotspots whenever we’re in town, it’s hard to resist the consistent perfection of Raoul’s Steak au poivre with crispy frites, al dente haricot verts and the charming French décor: pressed tin ceiling, bistro tables, and Degas-style nudes. It might be old, but it still feels rightly hip to us, even if you can get away with a reservation on Open Table.
