I recommend making a reservation for Local Kitchen + Wine Bar on Resy in advance. It’s located on Ocean Park Blvd in Santa Monica, and we were easily able to find metered street parking.
As far as food, I strongly recommend Chicken Under Brick ($28) with balsamic chile glaze, charred onions. shishi
We came here during the week and the place is beautiful. The hostess and bartender were super nice. We ordered the muscles with an extra piece of bread. The mussels didn't have a lot of taste. We did not get the extra bread so I reminded the server. She brought out 2 slices and apologized. The pa
Local Kitchen and Wine Bar is under new management and has a new chef. I am happy to report they have really upped their game. The service was great and the food was delicious. We had the mussels, the burrata and the cobbler. We will be back!
Great italian local place. Design and ambiance is really cool. Nice bar plus indoor and outdoor seating. The paste with wild mushroom was very tasty. So was the artichoke and the meat balls. Pizza is good but ask it them to make it well done.
Tasty, speciality food with great service and a friendly atmosphere.
Bar service had me feeling like royalty. Thank you everyone for making the visit pleasant yet again.
Simply delicious. Excellent service. Comfortable environment. Street parking is usually available plus lot in back.
My specific review is about the Margherita Pizza at Local Kitchen & Wine Bar.
The pizza was almost neopolitan, but with a a different cheese layer. The crust was pretty delicious because it was a fine balance of fluffy and form. Crust 5/5
The sauce was thin layer. The basil was not really present
First time dining here. The food, cocktails, and service were all excellent! Will definitely be back! Neighborhood gem for sure!
Had a really nice dinner here last week. Tried two delicious appetizers: broccolini, which was just a bit spicy; and baby artichoke hearts, sitting on parmesan shavings (photo), which melted in my mouth. We split a perfectly baked, seasonal pizza with excellent flavor combinations, and finished with
It's literally our 'local' farm to table restaurant where you can have a delicious meal that's both healthy and delicious. From a handful of wood fired pizzas to a select few pastas and salads - it's a tightly curated selection of great options. My only complaint would be the absence of a fish prote
Love this place! Truffle mushroom pizza, artichoke hearts, and olive oil cake. Great wine selection. Excellent friendly service.
Light, airy and intimate when it’s slow and fun+sociable on weekend evenings—of course, as others can attest to, Local has some of the best pizza I’ve had in my 30 years in America. Servers are super attentive and polite, while patient when explaining the menu. Happy they’re in the neighborhood!
Beautifully designed restaurant, cozy and well lit. Food is delicious especially the Ceasar salad. The perfect ingredients and taste.
This place was a pleasant surprised. We walked in and were seated right away even though the restaurant was packed. We ordered Brussels sprouts, chopped salad, spinach tagliatelle, and mussels.
Everything was so fresh and amazing. Our server Axtlan was super informative and attentive! I will definit
We arrived early for dinner around 6:30pm and everything we ordered was amazing! Loved the food, service and atmosphere. It did get significantly louder by the time we left therefore harder to be in conversation. So happy we got to enjoy everything before it got busy. The most unique dish we had was
The best restaurant that I have ever visited in the USA.
Clean, fast, really tasty ( not fat food, not huge size of portions). children were excited of everything.
