Where I Go Out

Ciccio pizze

Terroni Downtown

$$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, Italian, South Park

"I like that they steadfastly stick to traditional preparations. This particular pizza is served cold and folded, and it’s made with prosciutto and local burrata. The burrata has a really creamy texture that complements the temperature of the pizza."

Grilled Santa Barbara jump prawn w/ pink peppercorn & seared scallop

Mori Sushi

$$, Reservations, Japanese, Sawtelle

"I love Santa Barbara prawns, and these ones from Mori Sushi are sweet with a touch of citrus. This dish is a great starter before enjoying the omakase, but make sure to ask for it, because they're not on the menu."

Ramen

The Original sandwich

Bäco Mercat

$$$, Reservations, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Gastropub, Central La

Braised chickpeas

Gjelina

$$$, Happy Hour, Pizza, Wine Bar, Full Bar, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, New American, Venice

"This is a hearty bowl filled with chick peas, greens, and couscous. What really stands out is that it's drizzled with harissa and spiced yogurt, which gives the stew a Middle Eastern flavor. It's all-around great comfort food."
