Santa Monica, Los Angeles · restaurant
Slip past the unmarked gate off Wilshire and you’re in a twinkle-lit garden with pine trees overhead and Veuve on ice. Fia serves coastal Italian with California flair (spicy tuna arancini, sweet corn agnolotti, lemon mousse with limoncello granita) and a scene that swings from boozy brunch to date-night glow. It’s breezy, elegant, and somehow still under the radar.
Light lemon mousse with limoncello granita and meringue. Great way to punctuate a meal.
Handmade tortellini with porcini mushrooms, asparagus, and pearl onion.
Raw yellowfin with Asian pear and hibiscus. Fresh and clean flavors.
Cascading tiramisu with dramatic layered presentation.
Heirloom grain gnocchi, lighter than traditional. Seasonal sauce.
