Santa Monica's Next Great California-Italian Restaurant Comes From the Chef Behind Alimento
Briefly

Chef Zach Pollack is opening Cosetta, an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica that emphasizes hospitality and comfort. Reflecting on his past experiences at Alimento and Cosa Buona, Pollack aims to create a flexible menu featuring wood-fired pizzas and shareable plates, catering to various dietary needs. He wants to make dining enjoyable for families, particularly those with young children. With a focus on accommodating guests and an improved layout including dedicated parking, Pollack believes the restaurant will offer a welcoming experience that contrasts with the tighter settings of his previous establishments.
"A lot has changed for the industry over the past few years. I think I've changed. I love the actual alchemy of cooking, but most chefs get into this because they want to please people and make them happy."
"Cosetta would be the kind of restaurant where hospitality and comfort would reign. That means a versatile, flexible menu of wood-fired pizza, market-derived produce, and shareable plates meant to accommodate multiple dietary situations and even families with young children."
