Michelin adds six restaurants to its California guide — and three of them are in L.A. County
LA TimesMichelin additions In preview of Michelin’s 2023 update to its California-wide dining guide, the international gustatory compendium that ranks restaurants from one to three stars, added six new restaurants to the state guide this month. The 50,000-square-foot food hall will host three bars — including a “margarita garden” — and a range of food vendors including first-time expansions for some of L.A.’s most lauded restaurants. 6600 Topanga Canyon Blvd., Canoga Park, eatplaytopangasocial.com Sur Le Vert A new wine bar from the team behind Tabula Rasa is now open in Beverly Hills with a green-hued interior; a range of international wines and craft beers; and a selection of crudos, snacks, sandwiches and entrées — one of which is an ode to the building’s previous tenant, chef Thomas Keller. Pizzana — from Candace and Charles Nelson and chef Daniele Uditi — is an L.A. Times 101 list awardee known for its “neo-Neapolitan” pies; its newest location was initially slated to open last fall, but instead it launches tonight in the former Vive la Tarte space with roughly 25 seats, a new, unique pizza and the brand’s signature dishes from Uditi, who grew up cooking at his family’s bakery in Caserta. “I see this place more like a vibey, neighborhood spot,” Uditi said, “and people in Silver Lake are very cool.” The menu of Pizzana’s newest locale will mirror that of the other three, including pizzas, salads, seasonal small plates and desserts, with the addition of a new, unique-to-Silver Lake pizza inspired by puttanesca and featuring marinated heirloom farmers market tomatoes, olives and Cetara anchovies.
