Restaurant: The Tasting Kitchen
Location: Abbot Kinney in Venice
What we ate: bread + butter, castelvetrano olives, cheese board, pasta and milk chocolate panna cotta for dessert.
Good for: intimate setting, small group gatherings and date night.
We ate dinner upstairs on the second floor, which I highly recommend if you are looking for a more intimate and quiet setting. The pace of the meal was great; we lingered over the beautiful olives and cheeses, enjoying our wine and the ambience. The pasta was great, but the dessert was my favorite part of the meal. Their milk chocolate panna cotta is exquisitely balanced between creamy, smooth, rich, crunchy and chocolate-y goodness with hints of hazelnut, coffee and coriander.
