La Sosta Enoteca- Hermosa Beach

La Sosta Enotecta-a small quaint, candle lite neighborhood Italian wonder. One of my passions is savory food and fantastic wines I love to try new restaurants. On Saturday night one of my dearest friends was in town and a group of us decided to treat ourselves to a culinary experience. We were having wine and sharing fun memories about 4 blocks away from this hidden treasure. We arrived to an adorable stucco walled restaurant, covered in candles with large wood panels windows covering one entire wall.

We ordered 2 amazing bottles of Italian wine and appetizer platter of fresh meats and cheeses. They had a carver in the back of the restaurant where they hand carved your salami and cheese to order.

We all enjoyed the platter very much it was a great way to start off the evening. The waiters were super attentive and helped us out with the ordering and rather than ordering individual plates we all shared everything which is my favorite way to eat. I love trying a little bit of everything..I am always the person who wants to take a bite of everyone's meal.

We shared 3 different kinds of pasta 2 gnocchi one with lobster in a cream sauce and one with Gorgonzola cheese they were both melt in your mouth amazing. The last pasta was my favorite it was a homemade thick flat pasta served with tomato sauce and lamb. Lamb would not be my first choice in meat but it was truly amazing and if all lamb tasted this good it would move up the Ashley ranks!

The waiters loved us so much they gave us a plate of profiteroles for dessert which were just as decent as the rest of the meal. All around a very fun culinary experience and I recommend this place to a group of girls or date night. Not to mention I was able to spend time with my Alli.
