CINQUETERRE New Italian Restaurant
CINQUETERRE New Italian Restaurant
Dear friends,
As many of you know, my husband Francesco Mazzini has been working hard to open an Italian restaurant here in Los Angeles with a few partners. After importing young talented Italian chefs, finally getting the liquor license, having positive revues from the Zagat guide folks, and getting art hung on the walls I have been given the go ahead to spread the word to my friends and colleagues about his endeavor. If you need a lovely upscale place to have a romantic dinner, a special date or event, or just have a damn good meal come check it out. Everything is authentic from the food, the owners, the Italian waiters and the attentive care your dining experience will be.
The CINQUETERRE (CHINK-weh TAY-reh, which means "five lands") is a series of villages built into the rocks between the beach and the hills, clinging to a remote stretch of the Riviera coastline in the Liguria region. The history and tradition this area and near-by Genoa has created a unique gastronomy that harmonizes the products of the sea, the garden and the woods.
This is the harmony recreated at cinqueterre restaurant. Executive Chef and Co-Owner Gianbattista “Giamba” Vinzoni was raised in the Cinque Terre and with the close assistance of his staff brings to us the authentic flavors of his beautiful and unique land. The Italian passion for food and authenticity is revealed in their concise regional menu, where only the best ingredients are used.
The cooking methods at cinqueterre show a commitment to traditional culinary philosophy. One specialty, Branzino al Sale (Mediterranean Sea Bass baked in a thick salt crust), dates back to the days when everything was being cooked in a brick oven. The purpose of the salt is to encrust the whole fish, cook it evenly and not let it dry out. The result is a very moist fish with clean and pure flavor and although the most abundant ingredient in this recipe is sea salt, this dish is not salty. Troffie is a kind of pasta made from chestnut or wheat flour and is one of the forefathers of modern and more sophisticated pastas. This dishes “pesto” sauce is an original Ligurian sauce made from basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, grated cheese, pine nuts, and marjoram. Rice was an elegant dish in the Cinque Terre region, obtainable only from outside towns and the cinqueterre seafood risotto reflects that sense of respect and allure.
At the restaurant you will always find a careful selection of fish and crustaceans, meats, fresh vegetables, homemade breads and freshy made desserts (they bake the Ladyfingers in the Tiramisù!!!). Of course I am biased, but honestly the food is delicious and authentic. (I have now eaten things that in the past I would have absolutely never tried, like octopus in the risotto and its ALL DELICIOUS!)
When you go, mention to the staff that you heard about Francesco’s restaurant from his lovely wife, Ilaan (more tradition). Hopefully Francesco will be there to greet or meet you.
Catering and private parties for all occasions available too.
BUON APPETITO!
Ilaan Egeland Mazzini

Great Weekend in SoCal
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. The weather in LA is almost like summer. Very clear and warm. The pollen is being blown all over as the windws and flowers blossom.
Even the Oak trees are releasing pollens.
This must be a tough time for those who have allergies.
Happy Easter Sunday to all.

Orange County Restaurant Grading System
Orange County in Southern California is seriously considering implementing a restaurant grading system very similar to Los Angeles County.
This is a good move as it would help consumers to better evaluate their dining options.
There are cities within the County of Los Angeles such as Pasadena that do not use the grading system.
This system can be controversial as it can be unfair to some establishments that cannot control items that are part of the facility.

Bob Dylan at Skirball Cultural Center
If you live in the Los Angeles area you need to make some time to visit the Bob Dylan Exhibit at the Skirball Cultural Center.
I went this morning and an hour after opening the exhibit is packed. There are booths where you can listen to Dylan's music and watch video clips of Dylan.
The exhibit is opened until June 8 and is free on Thursday, but you have to book tickets online.
Even if you are not a Dylan fan it is worth the visit, spend an hour then be sure to check out the store for various Dylan related items, including his music as well as many books.
It would be cool to have a kiosk at the exhibit where you could burn your own cd of your favorite Dylan songs.
I have to commend Roland for a fabulous interactive section of the exhibit. Roland pieced together various guitars, keyboards, drum kits, slider organs, drum machines, to make this truly an interactive exhibit.
It would be cool to turn the speakers on and allow people to actually play for an hour or two everyday, or perhaps an outdoor area where you can play. The headphones are great though and the sound is excellent. Roland has some amazing equipment available in their lineup and this is a great showcase of their various products.

Rain in Los Angeles
We are getting rain in Los Angeles. The temps are cold.
The WGA is still on strike. They are in front of Paramont Studios and their picket signs have plastic bags. They are wearing red bands.
The deal could be in the works and a solution in the next two weeks. At least that is the buzz.
The WGA and the studios need to keep talking. It is hurting our economy, not just the studios, but all the supporting businesses.

Skirball Milestone
I just learned that since opening in June 2007, the Noah's Ark Exhibit at Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles has been visited by 50,000 people!!!
This is a great accomplishment for an establishment offering a rich experience.
I went through the exhibit last weekend and can only say great things about it. The creativity and interactivity with and by the kids is fantastic. The story of Noah's Ark is a great way to communicate so many messages to kids and families.
This is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to visit. Kids will have a different experience every time, I can assure you it will always be good.

But the streets are wet. More to follow later. This is a good sign for Southern California which is experiencing a severe drought.
