Love & Salt

Cuisine: European, Italian

Price Range: $$

10Best Says

Love & Salt is an Italian restaurant with a distinctly Californian bent. Taking over the same space that Café Pierre, the formal French eatery that Guy Gabriele ran for 37 years on Manhattan Beach Boulevard, it is a total change up for Gabriele, one of the area's most respected restaurateurs. He enlisted Chef Michael Fiorelli to cook up authentic Italian favorites like wood-fired pizza, house-made pastas and whole Branzino, and also let him go a little off the beaten path. Which means you'll find dishes like Roasted Glazed Pig Head, Corned Lamb Tongue Panini and Crispy Pig Ears on the menu as well. Leave room for dessert, for there are some mouthwatering choices there, too.
