santa monica: locanda del lago

tommy goes italian for happy hour at locanda del lago in santa monica...


fritto misto: calamari, shrimp, and wild mushrooms, lightly fried and served with arrabiata



piadina prosciutto:
grilled flat bread stuffed with parma prosciutto, stracchino cheese and baby arugula


burrata alla caprese con balsamico: roma tomato with fresh burrata cheese in balsamic vinaigrette, flavored with basil-infused oil

tommy says: the burrata was pretty good, the fritto misto was decent as well, but the piadina prosciutto was not good. appetizers and other select menu items are 50% off during happy hour which is from 4-7pm monday - friday. drink specials include select beers for $4, house wines for $6, cocktails/martinis $7, and premium wines for $8. so-so happy hour, and super slow service.
