Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi Restaurant Review

: Movie stars and Malibu surfers rub shoulders at this beloved family-operated restaurant in the Santa Monica Canyon, which continues to be one of L.A.'s best-kept secrets. The kitchen’s simple, rustic dishes include octopus carpaccio, a hearty Mediterranean seafood soup called cacciucco, agnolotti stuffed with sweet corn in a truffle sauce, and fresh Dover sole and langoustines devoid of any fussy sauces. The branzino, flown in from Italy, is nicely grilled and served simply with lemon juice and olive oil; and a 22-ounce bistecca alla fiorentina is equally down-to-earth and satisfying. Butterscotch pudding is a rich blend of salty and sweet to end the meal.
