Hollywood, Los Angeles · restaurant
A Michelin-starred Italian restaurant on Melrose built around the mozzarella bar, where burrata arrives torn tableside with squash blossoms, stone fruit, or a generous pour of olive oil. The handmade pasta and Grilled Beef Tagliata round out the menu, but the mozzarella bar is why reservations have been hard to get since 2007.
Assorted house-made mozzarella varieties served with griddled fett'unta bread at the bar.
Thin-sliced grilled beef with arugula and parmesan — the signature secondi from the charcoal grill.
Handmade egg pasta in a slow-cooked oxtail ragu — the pasta section's richest offering.
