Pacific Palisades

About the restaurant

Spruzzo is a new, family-friendly, Italian-American dining experience in the Palisades. Our menu features pizza, pasta, salad, chicken, steak, and fresh seafood entrées - all prepared with the love that comes from a family owned small business. Meant to be a neighborhood spot, a typical night at Spruzzo usually involves seeing friends on the way to your table. Just up the street from Sunset Beach at the corner of Sunset Blvd. and Palisades Dr., there is ample parking, a full bar, and comfortable booths both inside the restaurant and on our outdoor patio.

About the restaurant

Casually elegant, Pastina is home to some of the best Italian cooking in town inspired by the freshest ingredients, cooked simply and prepared beautifully with excellent service and a warm comfortable atmosphere. Many of the clientele are on the first name basis with host Franco Catullo who supplies ample amount of Italian charm to go along with delicate antipasti, splendid pastas, fresh fish, hefty veal chops and fabulous desserts flown in from Italy. Pastina strikes a perfect balance between favorite dishes of the moment and trusty standbys with waiters that have the Italian enthusiasm for seeing diners happy.

About the restaurant

Growing up in Italy, my family cooked at home and had the most extraordinary experiences with ingredients grown in our backyard, paired with the wines my chef/restaurateur stepfather would bring back from regions throughout Italy. I fell in love with food as a child watching my stepfather, once nominated a top chef in Italy, work in restaurant kitchens and floors. Moving to California in 1991 and subsequently to Santa Monica and experiencing the Farmers Market inspired me to start Orto - Italian for “vegetable garden” - where I meld local ingredients and organic herbs grown here at the restaurant to create traditional Italian recipes. At our bar you’ll find a cocktail list created from fresh herbs and premium spirits, and our wine list focuses on sustainable and organic producers. Andrea Inio
