La Bottega Marino (Larchmont)

By in 07: Mid-Wilshire

Didn’t wake up early enough but we still had breakfast at this charming Italian place at Larchmont. Polenta pancake, so delicious! Reminds me of Chinese’s radish cake. Saffron Risotto pancake, I’ve never had risotto in breakfast context~ :d Italian sauage. There’re so many yummy items on menu that I wanted to try them all. Joan […]
