1 Pico Offers Neapolitan Heritage Dishes In Oceanfront Setting For Dine LA

SANTA MONICA, CA — 1 Pico in Santa Monica is among the 480 eateries participating in Dine LA, which runs through Aug. 8.

The restaurant, located inside luxury hotel Shutters on the Beach, is using the restaurant week as an opportunity to showcase its new menu that draws on Chef Vittorio Lucariello's Neapolitan roots, the hotel's general manager Christophe Baraton told Patch.

“We’re thrilled to be part of Dine LA again this summer, especially as we introduce a selection of new dishes curated by Executive Chef Vittorio Lucariello,” Baraton said. “1 Pico has always been a favorite for both locals and visitors, and with Santa Monica celebrating its 150th anniversary, it’s the perfect time to experience everything the destination has to offer."

The new menu includes what Baraton described as an "approachable selection of heritage dishes" inspired by Lucariello's upbringing. For $75, diners have a choice of multiple options for all three courses.

That includes branzino with preserved lemon-herb gremolata and cacio e pepe with sausage:

Complimentary valet will be offered for all DineLA diners. Reservations are available via Resy.

Dine LA, the region's twice-annual restaurant week, runs from July 25 to Aug. 8. Diners are invited to enjoy special prix fixe lunch and dinner menus — the multi-corse offerings range in price from $15 to $65 and more.
