"Superfine Playa, Dina and chef Steve Samson's Playa Vista restaurant, will close on December 31, 2025; the restaurant confirmed the closure in a statement to Eater. This week's announcement is the latest closure in a year where a staggering number of prominent restaurants have ceased operations throughout the Southland. The couple's remaining restaurant, Rossoblu, will continue operations and serve Superfine Pizza on Sundays."
"Superfine Playa opened in the former Bull & Butterfly space at the Runway Playa Vista complex in March 2023. The restaurant is a departure from the Samsons' traditional Northern Italian menu at Rossoblu in Downtown, their shuttered Sotto, and casual walk-up window Superfine Pizza. Superfine Playa is a California-meets-Italy osteria by the Pacific Ocean, with an expansive outdoor patio and dining room seating."
"On Tuesday, December 9, the Los Angeles Times team unveiled its annual list of the 101 best restaurants in Southern California. The list is ranked with 101 entries, with eateries like Restaurant Ki, Somerville, and the South Bay's Vin Folk. The top slot went to one of the city's best spots to congregate, Mercado La Paloma, which houses Komal and chef Gilberto Cetina's Michelin-starred Holbox. The event was also a significant reveal for Bill Addison. The Los Angeles Times reviewer chose to drop his anonymity, a stance he maintained for over two decades."
