Nossa Quietly Opens Bringing Brazilian-Italian Plates to Hillhurst

At Nossa, it starts with the aroma. You’re sitting in the outdoor patio possibly clicking away on your phone or chatting with someone in your direct view and then the aroma hits you. Gently it almost calls you to turn around and the scent takes a hold of you. It’s in that moment that the

Never Underestimate this Dish from Gale’s Restaurant, Plus Other Great Items

We all have flaws and I am no exception. Some of us may not be eager to announce them to the world, but I don’t feel that way. I feel that once I tell you my shortcomings that I can start working towards fixing them. With that said, it’s time that I open up and

Giorgia Sinatra of Pasta Sisters Talks Affordable Italian Food in LA, the Buzzfeed Effect, and Joining The Taste by LA Times

This may sound like an exaggeration, but at least once a week I hear about Pasta Sisters.

Whatever way the restaurant enters my day, the point is that they do it. Recently,

3 Reasons You Should End Your Night at Church and State in Downtown LA

Walking out of my car and in the direction of the restaurant, I looked to my left and then to my right. I repeated the head gesture as I led myself to an answer of a question I didn’t realize I asked. It was the thought that there wasn’t much to do in this part

Nerano in Beverly Hills Welcomes You to Have a Beautiful Italian Lunch

I take lunch very seriously. Correction: I take any meal of the day very seriously, but lunch in particular. I wouldn’t say I walk up to a plate on a table during the middle of the day with a sweat band around my head, but it’s kind of close. I can’t speak for the staff

Enjoy Carbonara Month at Casa Barilla Before It Disappears

Sometimes, one plate just isn’t enough. You may be asking why a restaurant blogger like myself would even consider the idea of having “one plate”, but every now and then I would like to ditch the sweat pants and button my jeans. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. Although the occasions run rare,

Drago Ristorante Serves Dishes as Beautiful as its Interior Design

If two years ago you asked me how I would navigate restaurant blogging, I would have let a nervous smile creep across my face, shrug, and said “Hopefully I’ll figure it out”. When I started blogging about restaurants, I had an idea of how I should go about it, but it was all too new

See Why Dinner at North Italia in El Segundo is Worth the Drive, Every Time

When I first got my driver’s license, I would hop in my car and go anywhere for any reason. I would drive to work, school, the mailbox, hell I’d drive to the backyard if my car could fit through the fence. It didn’t take long before sitting in traffic, a few accidents, and the financial
