    Gjelina is a gem- period. From the wonderful humans that greet you (Philip) at the door, to the lovely humans that curate the dining experience (Barbara, Ektor, Lance, Andrew, Madeline and the list goes on)- there is no other place in Los Angeles (imo) that captures what a perfect restaurant should feel like. The food is always impeccable- honoring the simplicity of locally sourced bounty but always with a twist (snap peas, broccolini and Japanese sweet potatoes- I’m talking to you.) The pizza is comparable to some legends with perfect leoparding and just the right amount of chew to the crust- and the pork belly was to be repeated. Oh, and the black was light, and swimming in a glorious broth. I could go on and on (oops- already have). So… Yes, this is a love song to Gjelina- and all the people that make it so special. Bravi, bravissimi- you make it feel like home.

    As far as High Tea style experiences go, The Getty Villa is my favorite. The price is reasonable compared to other options I have seen and attended while being my favorite experience. A big plus is that you are able to try multiple teas, while most other places I have experienced only serve one pot per person. I am also a big fan of their iced tea option, it is very refreshing.
