Sara’s Favorite Resy Spots

Fun Facts

  • Lives in
    Los Angeles, CA
  • Restaurant you’ve been to the most
    Zankou Chicken in Glendale.
  • Most memorable bite
    Carbonara at Salumeria Roscioli in Rome.
  • Hot take
    L.A.’s food scene trumps NYC’s (despite my clear penchant for New York-style Italian food).
  • Ideal night out
    Happy hour at Tabula Rasa in East Hollywood, followed by early dinner at Carousel or Sanamluang (with a BYO bottle from Tabula Rasa), then heading home early.
  • Pro tip for diners
    Corkage — always check the wine list and consider bringing your own bottle.
  • Last meal on earth
    A big bowl of carbonara with a chilled red.
