Some complimentary Prosecco...always nice to dine with someone who has some connections (Masaki!)
Braised baby beets
Beets, burrata, and field greens
Gino (not Angelini), debones the Branzino tableside
My green Lasagna with flash fried spinach
Chocolate Crostata and Panna Cotta
I finally got to eat at Angelini Osteria in celebration of Angie's birthday (from last month). The usual family suspects (me, Yuki, Masaki, and Jeni-koro) met up at this restaurant on Beverly Blvd. My cousin Masaki/Bryan has been raving about this place for the longest time. I've heard lots of great things about the chef/owner Gino Angelini. It was delicious....lots of great flavors, simple, but always dependable. The green lasagna was extra creamy with what tasted like, very high quality ricotta and some other fancy cheese (not just your store bought ricotta and mozzarella). My favorite dish was the beets and burrata. So creamy and just goes so wonderfully with the sweet fresh beets. Can't wait to go back and try more of the items on the menu. Be aware, we were there wed night and it was super packed. Reservations are a must! Apparently La Terza is good, but I have yet to try it.

La Terza has sadly closed down, but reborn as a more casual trattoria (Minestraio) from the same owners and chef.
