Recently I had the pleasure of having lunch at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills, a highly popular local restaurant owned by Italian brothers Giacomino and Tanino Drago. Since its opening in 1994, the restaurant has drawn a vast clientele and excellent reviews! Gourmet magazine has called it ‘A piece of Heaven’.
I had the pleasure of meeting Giacomino’s wife, Alessandra, a wonderful and beautiful lady from Brazil!!!
Giacomino and his wife Alessandra.
And here are some of the delicious dishes we enjoyed…
Calamari Fritti
Gnocci with Black Truffles
We were treated by the house to this beautiful dish, Tortelloni di Zucca with Black Truffles
Garganelli Verdi Alle Spugnole… So delicious!!!
Ana enjoyed the Asparigi Salad
And the special of the day, Spinach salad with Funghi
And I enjoyed this wonderful lunch with Ana and Mariela Barroso, former Chanel specialist at Neiman Marcus San Diego
Next time you find yourself in Beverly Hills make sure to check out this wonderful eatery!!!
