Big Chicago Group Promises Wood-Fired Italian at Etta in Culver City | Eater LA

"Word on the street is that Etta — the Chicago restaurant known for its mostly wood-fired Italian staple dishes — is coming to Los Angeles next year. I’ve heard the group confirmed the project will land in Culver City at the Ivy Station development, reportedly in a large corner space at Washington and National near the Platform and the Expo Line, and that the restaurant is slated to start serving sometime in 2020. Chicago fans and food critics have fawned over Etta’s wood-fired cooking since it opened in Bucktown in 2018, and its parent company, What If Syndicate (which also operates the steakhouse Maple & Ash), is opening a second Etta in River North in Chicago in 2020." - Farley Elliott
