"This friendly, cozy La Jolla offshoot of a celebrated restaurant outside of Milan has a vibe somewhere between humble and sophisticated, for a comfortable experience that’s none too precious. The style that chefs Choi Cheolhyeok and Silvio Salmoiraghi shaped at the original is a contemporary, minimalist approach to Italian that incorporates elements of Chef Choi’s Korean background. Guests can choose between an extended or abbreviated tasting, with both vegetarian or omnivorous options, featuring the likes of green tagliolini with spring onion, mushroom, and nori, or crisp fried squab breast with a charred radicchio and red wine sauce. A list of Italian wines, as well as sakes, will make fine pairings." - Michelin Inspector
