Culver City, Los Angeles · restaurant
Three culinary traditions (Italian, French, and Argentine) running through one open kitchen, plus an in-house bakery turning out fresh focaccia and panettone daily. The Gnocchi Madeo is the signature for a reason, and the shaded patio has a way of extending lunch longer than intended. On Wednesdays, La Finestra opens its street-facing window for pizza al taglio and sandwiches built for walking Culver City with one hand full.
Seasonal whole branzino from the open kitchen, plated with vegetables and herbs
Organic focaccia baked fresh daily in the in-house bakery, the table centerpiece here
Ham, gruyere, bechamel, and a fried egg on top — French bistro executed without shortcuts
Poached eggs on house-baked focaccia with hollandaise; the go-to brunch anchor
Pillowy gnocchi in rich tomato-cream sauce, named after the Vietina familys flagship
