30% off dinner at Locanda del Lago
231 Arizona Ave. (at 2nd Ct.), Santa Monica
Mon.–Thurs.
Special expires at close of business day on 11/9/11
Locanda del Lago brings the shores of Lake Como right to Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade. The kitchen is led by new Michelin star chef Gianfranco Minuz, a native of Friuli, Italy, who has crafted new bi-weekly seasonal specials such as striped bass baked in carta fata (parchment paper) with white wine and herbs, and Moretti beer-braised all-natural Colorado lamb with local fava beans and soft polenta. Peruse the Italian-heavy wine list to find a pairing for these or for one of the perfect pastas or risottos. And watch the world go by from a table by the window.
