    Another 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.

    We went to La Pizza & La Pasta - Eataly LA for the first time for dinner. Generally, the food was good. One person ordered the Carciofi e Pancetta pizza: the menu described the pancetta as crispy, yet there wasn't anything crispy about it, which disappointed him. I ordered the Colorata Insalate, which was delicious, and the vegetables were fresh. However, the salad was $18 and was the size of a side salad, which was surprising, disappointing, and overpriced. The other person ordered the Calzone Classico and was happy with it. Our server must have had a lot of tables because it took a while for her to take our order. While the food was delivered quickly after we ordered, our server didn't check back on us, and it took a while for our empty plates to be cleared and for the server to return. We ordered a Pannecota for dessert, which was delicious. It also took our server a while to bring the check and pick it up. Finally, one of the managers noticed we were waiting, processed my credit card, and returned it. While I'm open to trying a meal there again, I'm also in no hurry to try it again.
