"Gjelina is known for being an uber-hip and culinarily influential LA restaurant that helped define the pan-Mediterranean and seasonal cuisine that people now know as 'new California.' It, along with its bakery and deli offshoot Gjusta, is acclaimed and frequently crowded. Gjelina has a take-out space and full-service dining, and Gjusta is very much 'a bakery and coffee shop' for the community." - Serena Dai
