Resto Spotlight: SOTTO...



photo credit: laweekly

Over the weekend, my friend Jen and I tried a new resto called Sotto.  My Dad went a couple of days before me and raved about how great the food and ambiance was.  So, when Jen said, "let's try something new"  I knew just where to go! I made a reservation with ease on a Friday which was great! I was the first one there and they sat me right away at a quaint table for two.  The ambiance was warm, room dimly lit with candles flickering and reflecting off the crisp clean wine glasses.  I was instantly relaxed and ready for girls night out.  We had the best waiter by the name of Skylar.  Rarely, do you find great customer service when out to dine lately, so this was refreshing.  While I waited, I ordered a cocktail called Pass the Buck, very fresh and tasty.  Once Jen arrived, we ordered some mixed olives to start, a couple of glasses of wine, Margarita and Diavolina pizza, and I ordered a Pumkin, Barley, Kale, and White Bean Minestra soup.  Best soup I've had in a long time.  Every bite was yummy!  We continued our girl chat and enjoyed every bite, food was amazing!  

I didn't take pics due the dim lighting in the restaurant.  So, here are some photos I found on their site as well as others...

Great ambiance, service, and food...I'm going back to Sotto real soon.  Hopefully this Friday!

Resto Spotlight: Pizzeria Mozza

Happy Hump Day! 


So, the hubby and I made it out twice last week. We did date night at Pizzeria Mozza, one of L.A.'s HOT spots. It's really hard to book a reservation for this spot, but I booked it well in advance using Opentable.  We did have to eat at 5pm on a Friday, otherwise it was booked until 10:30pm.  This place has been on my list for a while and I liked it, but did not love it! The ambiance and energy of the restaurant was great. I was thinking the pizza would have knocked my socks off, but it just knocked off one. Lol! We ordered Insalata Mista (mixed green salad), Bacon, Egg, and Potato pizza, and Fennel Sausage pizza as well as a lovely bottle of Italian Kerner.  The fennel sausage pizza, which was suppose to be one of their best pizzas wasn't the best to me. The Bacon, Egg, and Potato pizza was soooo tasty and definitely a hit.  I might check it out again to try the Bianca pizza, which is another one of their popular pizzas. Not running back there, but we did enjoy our night out. 

I love how they use an envelope to hold the napkin and utensils. Very cute!

Here's a peek inside.

Water was refreshing and in a cute bottle.

Very tasty salad!
Looks plain, but had big flavor
Bacon, Egg, Potato, and Bermuda Onion
Loved it!



Fennel and Sausage...Blah!



Antica Pizza in Atlanta is still on the top of my list...
until I get to Naples! :)



And I'm off and running...
