Last Friday night, I took myself to somewhere I have not been to in 18 years. Ca'Brea on LaBrea. One of those old standbys that still serves a good meal and a good glass of Pinot Grigio. Great for northern Italian home cooking.
After swinging by Angeli on Melrose and seeing there was not a table available, I began racking my brain as to where to find another comfortable, warm dish of risotto. Driving down LaBrea it hit me. Ca'Brea! Inviting atmosphere with a beautiful wood ceiling and abstract expressionist art hanging on the walls...and reasonable. Nice bar area too!
Try it.
