📍 Los Angeles Italian $$$

at Alimento

"Zach Pollack's cacio e pepe at Alimento is the Italian immigrant dish made by someone who studied the original rather than imitated imitators — the Kampot peppercorn brings a fruity heat that standard black pepper cannot, and the pasta has genuine bronze-die resistance."
