The aura of Southern Italy inspires the menu at one of  Santa Monica’s best new restaurants - Villetta (246 26th Street, Santa Monica). Located in a charming historic building, the Villetta space has been lovingly restored with careful attention paid to the original detailing inside and out.  Restaurateur Antonio De Cicco, whose genuine hospitality is well known to many from his days at Giorgio Baldi and Toscana, has put together a gracious, hospitable team and top notch menu. Villetta offers indoor or outdoor dining, a full menu or small plates, fine wines or fresh seasonally-inspired cocktails. Villetta is setting a new standard for fine dining in Santa Monica.
