The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: January 5 | Eater LA

"Set above the ocean in Hermosa Beach, this modern Italian American perch channels the approachable nonna-style homestyle Italian cooking that’s rare in Southern California, drawing a lineage from Osteria La Buca and Osteria Mamma while being its own place. Owner Laura Francisco credits her mother, Lucia Gasbarri, as executive chef, and the veal and spinach cannelloni best illustrates Gasbarri’s Abruzzo cooking: an elegant duet of oblong tubes coated in béchamel and nestled in a profoundly ripe tomato sauce, with paper-thin pasta wrapped around ground meat that melts in every bite and a richness that’s perfectly cut by tangy, sweet pomodoro, leaving the plate scraped clean of every last swirl of sauce." - Eater Staff
