Propaganda Wine Bar

It’s a Pinsa Party at the Newest Wine Bar in the Arts District | Eater LA

"On 3rd St. in the Arts District, I visited Propaganda, a new wine bar on the ground floor of the Aliso Apartments just down the block from Hauser & Wirth that highlights organic, natural, and biodynamic selections; it’s the brainchild of San Francisco restaurant vet Claudio Villani (AltoVino, Quince, Perbacco) and designer Yan Wong. The wine list veers heavily toward Italy, while the snacky menu offers tinned fish, salumi, and antipasti such as a Calabrian anchovy crostone (anchovies, burrata cream, piquillo peppers, and pesto Genovese on toasted country bread). The real menu star is the pinsa, a Roman-style pizza with a light, crisp crust made from 72-hour fermented dough; pinsa options include the mortazza (mortadella di Bologna IGP, stracciatella di burrata, Parmesan, and toasted pistachio) and the amatriciana (tomatoes, guanciale, smoked Pecorino crema, black pepper, and Calabrian chili). Propaganda is open at 950 E. 3rd Street, Tuesday–Thursday 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday–Saturday 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday 2 p.m. to 9 p.m." - Karen Palmer
