Last night I celebrated my 10th wedding anniversary at a restaurant I had not yet tried. A risk, but I had a friend give it a big recommendation. I was hoping for an adventure, because that is always what we look for on special occasions. La Sosta Enoteca did not disappoint!
When I go out for a special occasion, I cannot order salmon or steak as I want something that I cannot get at home. La Sosta had just what I was looking for! First we had a special cutting board full of Italian meats and cheeses. It came with some wonderful things to dip the cheese in - truffle infused honey and a chili-pepper jam. We paired that with a lovely red wine. Then we had deep fried zucchini flowers. My main course was just as exciting: homemade pasta with sea urchin! It was fabulous. My wife had homemade gnocchi with a lobster sauce. This too was delicious. These were paired with a terrific Italian white wine.
We followed up by ordering the Tiramisu but it had too much of a coffee flavor. So they kindly substituted chocolate covered profiteroles. We even paired this with a wonderful port like Italian desert wine!
Be aware, dinner for two was $200, but well worth it. That was an adventure to Italy right here in Hermosa Beach!
