About this restaurant

## Amiga Amore: A Culinary Fusion of Italy and Mexico in Los Angeles Nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, Amiga Amore is a unique restaurant that seamlessly blends the vibrant flavors of Italy and Mexico. Founded by a husband-and-wife team, Alessandro Zecca and Danielle Duran Zecca, this culinary gem offers an unforgettable dining experience that transcends traditional boundaries. The restaurant's cozy and intimate atmosphere sets the stage for a delightful culinary journey. The exposed brick walls and warm lighting create a welcoming ambiance, while the open kitchen allows guests to witness the artistry of the chefs firsthand. Amiga Amore's menu is a testament to the couple's passion for both Italian and Mexican cuisine. Each dish is meticulously crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients, showcasing the harmonious marriage of these two distinct culinary traditions. Start your meal with the "noprese" salad, a refreshing combination of nopales, hibiscus salt, and house-made stracciatella. For a heartier option, try the elote agnolotti, plump corn-filled pasta bursting with flavor. The pork chop milanese, encrusted with crushed tortillas and served with a cilantro-laced arugula salad, is a must-try for meat lovers. No meal at Amiga

My expectation for this place was high and unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. Cute place overall, service was decent, atmosphere was okay(we were sitting outside in the back), drinks okay and food was not memorable. Might try and going 1 more time, maybe something was off. We ordered the Focaccia, the sweet potato ceviche, the carñsada plate, the clams, Aqua Chiles, and the rigotoni. The best one for me was the Ceviche, then the clams, and the meat.

A divine culinary experience! Chef Danielle IS the best chef. I have been fortunate enough to try many of the items on her various menus and I’m always delighted and pleased at the taste and complexity of each dish. Chef is excellent at putting tastes and textures together to ensure your dish is memorable.

You can't go wrong with any dish and the collaborations are always on point. This past Sunday it was a collaboration with a coffee vendor and bakery. It was amazing! I had a tiramisu latte from the coffee vendor, Italian chilaquiles from the restaurant and a guava cinnamon roll from the bakery. My only hang up is the parking situation get there early! Street parking is hard to find.

This place is a little gem. Our first time there was not a disappointment. The chorizo with clams was one of the best we’ve tasted. And the duck duck duck was so full of flavor and so interesting. The staff was very helpful and they all seemed to enjoy interacting with us. Bravo to the Kichen staff we will definitely be back.

Really enjoyed our dinner. The waitstaff could not have been more helpful and accommodating, offering me wine to sample and helping us to navigate the menu. The food was creative and delicious, with some standout specials. The outdoor patio is comfortable.
