#090 - LUIGI al TEATRO | Friday Forkisode

Just Forking Around

Almost hidden behind a sneaky doorway on 2nd St. in Santa Monica, hungry and curious walkers by are just a few steps away from LUIGI al TEATRO, a secret piece of heaven nestled near Main St. High ceilings, wall frescos of theater actors, and custom furniture direct the diner towards the star of the show: the open kitchen.

If you’re lucky, you might even get a smile and a nod from Michelin Star Chef Luigi Fineo (and if you’re like me, you might blush).

I went with a group for brunch and we ordered every dish on the menu – and I would eat every single one again! So instead of sharing my order with you, I’m going to highlight a few of my absolute favorites.

Debi’s favorite dishes:

• Aperol Venetian Spritz (bottomless)
• Toast with fig jam, ricotta, and fried rosemary
• Sea urchin omelette with crème fraîche and chive
• Bucatini with a soft poached egg and prosciutto black pepper
• Budino (chocolate, crème fraîche, and maldon salt)

Are you ready for an adventure?

Because I want to show you a side of the LA food scene that most people will never get to see! When you join me for a LA Food Adventure, we will visit 6 restaurants to fill your belly, taste some drinks, socialize with some incredibly cool people, and get behind-the-scenes access that others aren’t privy to.

You can learn more and reserve your spot at lafoodadventures.com.
