"Forma is a restaurant worth popping your Lactaid for. The name of the game here is dalla forma, or cheese wheel - a unique preparation where freshly cooked pasta is tossed around and finished in a giant wheel of pecorino and Parmigiano Reggiano. Both the Santa Monica and Venice locations of this neighborhood spot have reopened for lunch and dinner, expect beautiful canopies overhead, sun-filled patios, and a socially-distant cheese bar. Book a reservation here." - kat hong
