Located in the gorgeous Fess Parker Wine Country Inn, Nella Kitchen & Bar in Los Olivos has more than a few things going for it.
First, there's the locally sourced, Italian leaning menu packed with fresh local greens, Nonna Nella's meatballs and warm, fluffy pinsas. Then, there's the sophisticated cocktail menu (hello, barrel-aged Negroni!), a refreshing change of pace in a town that boasts more than two dozen wine tasting rooms. And finally, there's the wonderfully air conditioned dining room, a real winner considering fall days in the area can be surprisingly warm.
Oh and did we mention it's brought to you by the team behind SY Kitchen, a longtime local favorite? Now what are you waiting for? Nella is open Thursday through Monday for lunch and dinner.
