## Amiga Amore: A Culinary Fusion of Italy and Mexico in Los Angeles Nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, Amiga Amore is a unique restaurant that seamlessly blends the vibrant flavors of Italy and Mexico. Founded by a husband-and-wife team, Alessandro Zecca and Danielle Duran Zecca, this culinary gem offers an unforgettable dining experience that transcends traditional boundaries. The restaurant's cozy and intimate atmosphere sets the stage for a delightful culinary journey. The exposed brick walls and warm lighting create a welcoming ambiance, while the open kitchen allows guests to witness the artistry of the chefs firsthand. Amiga Amore's menu is a testament to the couple's passion for both Italian and Mexican cuisine. Each dish is meticulously crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients, showcasing the harmonious marriage of these two distinct culinary traditions. Start your meal with the "noprese" salad, a refreshing combination of nopales, hibiscus salt, and house-made stracciatella. For a heartier option, try the elote agnolotti, plump corn-filled pasta bursting with flavor. The pork chop milanese, encrusted with crushed tortillas and served with a cilantro-laced arugula salad, is a must-try for meat lovers. No meal at Amiga

Don’t miss this restaurant. The zucchini bread as a starter sets the mood. Everything else is just a cherry on top.

We love Amiga Amore and are always so impressed with the food and the service! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Alessandro and Chef Danielle know exactly what they're doing wit this Mexitalian fusion concept. I wish them continued success and hope they open more concepts throughout LA.

It was worth the drive. We braved the Friday traffic all the way from the Inland Empire because we had heard so much about the elote agnolotti. It sure did not disappoint! I don't know what they put in it but the medley of flavors played around in my mouth, punctuated by all those textures from the pasta and the oil it was slathered in. It was sweet from the corn but deep and earthy and had so much umami. My husband and I couldn't figure it out. We were full but we kept eating it because we were enjoying it so much. We loved the sweet potato ceviche as well as the roasted pork belly with the squid ink tostadas. The duck pasta and the cacio e pepe were so bomb too. The staff was bend-over-backwards accommodating and friendly. We appreciated the positive vibes. We will most definitely come back with reinforcements. I don't want to gate-keep this place. People are happier and kinder if they have good food in their bellies, and Amiga Amore has that on lock! Amiga Amore is the key to world peace!

Once again Amiga Amore did not disappoint. Wonderful food, very nice staff. This time we ordered the octopus, chorizo and clams and rigatoni. Absolutely delicious, could not pick a favorite - all of these were fantastic. The staff is very helpful when needed, the front room is charming.

First time there. Shared an appetizer, the octopus, a pasta dish, the manicotti, and the mole duck entree with two friends. All were delicious and was plenty for the 3 of us. Ordered the strawberry tiramisu for dessert, and were also treated to two dark choco popsicles to celebrate two birthdays at the table. All were delicious. Sat on the back patio, which is really nice. Met several nice folks at adjacent tables. Looking forward to going back to try other items.
