I love trying new foods and going to restaurants in search of new taste. Last week, I was invited to go to a restaurant called Villetta. It’s this little romantic Italian spot in Santa Monica. From the time I got there until the time I left was pure magic. This is like the real deal Italian people! The waiters were all Italian with the accents to match. The ambiance was amazing and the food! Oh, the food! I have NEVER tasted Italian like this. The staff was so welcoming and hospitable. At the end of the night, I even had the chance to have a drink with the chef (who was straight from Italy and also was a female! I do not know why that excites me so much, I guess it’s because I’m use to seeing male chefs roaming around restaurants). She was so sweet and answered all my random questions about Italy. If you love Italian food like I do, you must go.
Braised octopus with heirloom tomato sugo, chickpeas and mint
Papardelle with pancetta, sage and white wine wild mixed mushrooms sauce/Fettucine ‘alla Bolognese’. It may not look like much from this picture but the flavors that came out of these two dishes were like nothing I ever tasted.
I have my own drink named after me! “Lady Lola”
