Upland

Have you ever visited Los Angeles and thought, "Man, I wish we had food like this on the east coast?" With the arrival of Upland to the neighborhood, that dream is now a reality. Centered around California-inspired fare with an Italian lean, Upland's menu takes its cue from the seasons with dishes that celebrate the abundance of locally well-raised meats. For non-carnivores, the cacio e pepe with bucatini is another fave amongst regulars, as is the whole crispy mushroom topped with fresh, creamy cheese and herbs. While over 500+ bottles make an appearance on the wine list, it's still approachable (if not a little pricy) with by the glass pours in the $13 - $19 range.
