Testa

There's more than house-made pasta at this DTLA Italian spot—in fact, there's more than Italian food. Most dishes takes their cues from Italy, be it small plates like blistered peas in Calabrian chili paste or mains like the porchetta with cannellini and fennel, but the kitchen plays with Asian, Mexican and other influences, bringing plates like Thai-chili snapper carpaccio to this warm, wood-accented restaurant and bar.
