Where I Go Out
Gelato pie
$$$, Pizza, Italian,
"I don't often recommend desserts, but when I do... Everyone talks about the pizza, as they well should, but the desserts are not to be missed. This one in particular is excellent."
Ramen
$$, Ramen, Japanese, Full Bar, Noodles,
"For my money, this is the best ramen in town. They use Kurobuta pork and have a great broth. Don't forget to get the fried rice and gyoza, which are also the best in town."
Baby calamari salad
$$$, Outdoor Seating, Modern, American, Steakhouse, Beverly Grove
"When in season, Suzanne does this delicately grilled baby squid with lightly dressed greens, a simple and delicious dish. Be sure to follow up with a beautifully charred steak and some Béarnaise sauce. I love this place."
Cortina
$$$, Modern, American, New American, Roof Deck, Cocktail, Wilshire Montana
"This dish consists of beautifully cooked, full-flavored pork and slamming red sauce with supple sheets of pasta."
Bacalao torta
$$, Mexican, Sandwiches, South Montebello
"There's a whole menu of awesome sandwiches here, but you can't find one like this elsewhere in the city. It has Spanish-style cod, roasted red peppers, garlic, and olives."
