Cotogna
This was the only reservation I made in advance of Trisha and Lili coming out because I really wanted to eat here since it was sweet corn season. We all ordered individually, but food was all served family style which worked out great since we all tried everything anyway. For starters we had the Gazpacho,…

Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill
Hiti and I were at Defcon. She came over to the MGM Grand where I was staying and we grabbed lunch. I just had salad since I was going to be eating a dinner out. Hiti ordered the Italian Sausage pizza minus the Italian sausage. It actually turned out to be very good and was…

Little Original Joe’s
Andrea wanted to go out to eat, something casual. We went over to West Portal to try our luck at Elena’s. They told us wait time was 2 hours. So we walked do to Little Original Joe’s to see how things were there and I had been curious to eat here since I’d never eaten…

Eataly L.A. – La Pizza & La Pasta
We were just headed to the Century City Mall to go to Bloomingdale’s. We saw Eataly there which we’ve never eaten at any of them, so we decided to give it a try. Walked around briefly and saw all the wine and pasta and meat and such available. We decided to eat at La Pizza…

Piccino
Peter and I were trying to figure out where to eat before the game. Unsurprisingly, everything at Thrive City was booked. So we looked in the surrounding area and the Dogpatch was a great option and we ended up picking this place. Andrea had ordered the olives, the roasted squash & cauliflower salad, and the…

Jacob scheduled a dinner meeting with a vendor. Even though Dreamforce is going on, he was able to get us table since his cousin works at Quince. We ordered a bunch of starters to share – the Heirloom Tomato Caprese, Squid, Cranberry Bean & Calabrian Chili, Bluefin Tuna Crudo as well as a Porcini Mushroom…

Cotogna
I had been hearing about the corn pasta dish at Cotogna, but we had never had it, so I made a reservation for us to finally try it. This time I picked seating outside in one of their extensive set of parklets (they almost extend the entire block since they make use of the street…

Bongiorno’s Cucina Italiana & Pizzeria
Andrea and I were starving after our architectural river boat tour (and probably experiencing a bit of heat exhaustion), although we didn’t want to eat too much either because we had an early dinner. We just did some searches on google maps and this place was the closest place with a decent rating. Andrea had…

Belotti Bottega pasta shop
We were in Oakland on Piedmont running some errands and walked by this pasta shop. We popped in to take a look and were blown away how great their pasta looks. They were actively making more pasta too. So we had to buy something. We decided to try something a little different and went with…

Cotogna
This is our fourth time dining here. It’s an easy choice for casual dinner with delicious comfort food since we had intended to be downtown anyway. We had to start with some cocktails. Andrea went with the Braccialetto which was made with mezcal, citrus, and amaro. This had decent mezcal flavor to it with a…
