The Hit List: New LA Restaurants To Try Right Now - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"A Westside Cal-Italian spot with tuna carpaccio, cacio e pepe, and product managers drinking orange wine on a patio. Stop us if you’ve heard this one before. This Mar Vista restaurant follows a familiar formula, but it also makes a damn good case for it. Nothing on the menu is over $30 (not a typo), and every dish is simple and well-done. Green bean and celery salad springs to life with lemony vinaigrette, and the charred pork collar tastes like it was lip-locked with the grill seconds prior. The buzzy candlelit space—a converted corner market flanked by citrus trees—feels lived-in, and that’s because it is. Half of the neighborhood has moved in already, and we can't imagine them leaving anytime soon. Reservations are released a month in advance. Plan two weeks ahead for prime time tables, but late-night reservations are usually available day-of on weekdays." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, garrett snyder, cathy park, cathy park, cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, brant cox, brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, brant cox, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, cathy park
