Ronan, Fiona, Petit Trois, Now on The Resy Hit List

Because there’s a new slice on Melrose, thanks to pizzaiolo Daniel Cutler’s Neapolitan-style pies. Spring for classics (DOP only) and riffs on Southern Italian flavors, like the “White Dynamite” pie–made with Calabrian chili oil, ricotta, and basil.

Because Nicole Rucker’s brand-new and highly anticipated Fairfax bakery is open all day to satisfy your cravings (read: pastries are a must). Move over, avocado; Dahi toast, served with yogurt, chutney, and fried curry leaves, has arrived.

Because come for the churros de patatas bravas and stay for the signature paella. Nosh on a selection of signature tapas and pintxos, like pan con tomate, blue prawns a la plancha, and salt cod fritters, paired with a gin and tonic. Salud!

Because Bar Caló brilliantly marries Mexican flavors with seasonal California produce—some of which is grown in the restaurant’s own garden. At this Echo Park gem, expect flavorful small plates, like quesadilla de Jamaica or yucca poutine, alongside expert agave-based cocktails and Mexican wine.

Because Freedman’s reimagines traditional deli fare, serving its elevated preparations in a playful, design-centric space.

Because mamma mia—Jon & Vinny’s broccolini rigatoni pasta is a beautiful thing. Don’t don’t sleep on the six-hour Bolognese with polenta; it’s nonna-approved.

Because chef Ludo Lefebvre’s bistro fare plays the classics from breakfast to dinner. During the day, enjoy fresh pastries, a stellar omelette or eggs meurette (poached eggs in a red wine reduction); come dinnertime, count on savory staples like duck l’orange and beef bourguignon.

Because Hail Mary’s California-style pies are sublime right down to the perfectly-bubbly crust. Seasonal ingredients and house-made meats make for delicious pizza combinations, like the “Mario & Rose(mary)” made with house-made sausage, mozzarella, tomato sauce, red onion, and rosemary. For dessert, indulge in a grilled Basque cake with almond crust.
