Sotto
Zach Pollack, Steve Samson When found in the dictionary, the word, "gourmet," can be defined as "fancy or exotic foods." Opposite gourmet's association with descriptions such as "avant-garde" and "outlandish,"  is the Italian word, "sotto," meaning "undertone." Sotto's neapolitan craftsmen, Steve Samson and Zach Pollack, work to create a sophisticated honesty with their market-driven menu and fresh ingredients. Utilizing a traditional wood-burning oven, the pies cook at 900 degrees in less than 60 seconds to achieve a paradoxical quality the chefs say is "humble yet exalted." Their chic and savory pies include the classic marinara and margherita but also the tasteful Guanciale (house-cured pork cheek, ricotta, scallions, and fennel pollen), Calabrese (tomato, broccoli di ciccio, dry-cured olives, Calabrian chilies), and much more. Take a new avenue and walk the fine line of simplicity and sophistication with Sotto. Sotto Restaurant 9575 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90035 [Photos via]
