los angeles: osteria la buca

tommy transports to italy via osteria la buca...


caprese


bread and tomato sauce


pappardelle fume: handmade noodles with a creamy pink sauce with bits of pancetta


panna cotta


tiramisu

tommy says: heavenly handmade pasta! the sauce was rich but quite tasty. the caprese was forgettable, but the bread and tomato sauce was wonderful. the pièce de résistance was dessert! the panna cotta was perfectly smooth and flavorful without being too light and gelatinous! the tiramisu was out of control!! just the right amount of espresso so the ladyfingers weren't too mushy, and the marscapone was creamy and light with the perfect hint of sweetness - none of the components overpowered, all the flavors were harmoniously balanced!! the desserts alone make it worth a visit!
