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.
