- DDavidLos Angeles •19 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAnother spectacular meal at Gjelina. I've made it my mission to work my way through the menu, and last night I tried the orecchiette with beef cheek bolognese, Japanese turnip and coal-roasted cabbage - all excellent. Special props to the orecchiette. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce was rich and savory and the addition of the dollop of ricotta bound all the elements together beautifully. Loved it.More infoGjelinaPrice: Expensive• American• Venice•4.7
- MMichelleVIPOrange County •17 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI recently dined at Bacari PDR and had an amazing experience that I just have to share! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a treat, and it's clear that the chefs put a lot of care into their creations. 🍽️ The service was equally impressive, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout the meal. They made sure we felt welcome and well taken care of. While it did take a little longer than expected for our drinks to arrive, the overall experience more than made up for it. The staff's warm demeanor and the quality of the food truly stood out. If you're looking for a place with fantastic food and excellent service, I highly recommend giving Bacari PDR a try. It's definitely worth the visit! 🍷✨More infoBacari PDRPrice: Expensive• Italian• Playa del Rey•4.7

Discover Playa Del Rey
Meaning "Beach of the King," Playa del Rey is a small coastal neighborhood that embraces a sleepy yet sun-kissed styling and also boasts some varied dining options. In a sense, the town has a classic feel; it has comfortable bed-and-breakfasts and might remind you of the California surfing towns of the 1950s. As a result of the fact that Playa del Rey rests nestled between Manhattan Beach and Venice Beach, the small town has a varied food experience that will satisfy most palettes. You can expect to find places that specialize in Vietnamese dishes like Pho, various types of Mexican cuisine, or even New York-style pizza. Gastropubs are also taking off in the area, which is perfect for those looking to have a couple of drinks with their food.
