A Bustling Outdoor Italian Restaurant

A Bustling Outdoor Italian Restaurant Is The Americana at Brand a “twin” of The Grove? Maybe—but honestly, it has a slightly more diverse selection of brands! Pro tip: Park at Glendale Galleria—it’s free 🆓! The outdoor restaurants on the pedestrian street are always so appealing. You can sit back and watch people pass by, while feeling like you’re dining in an open-air garden—such a nice vibe for a casual meal 🌿! We ordered two dishes, and one totally stole the show: Rigatoni Alla Norcina (Black Truffle Pork & Mushroom Pasta)Let me start by saying—Italian dish names always make my head spin 😫! But this pasta? Mind-blowing. The black truffle flavor was rich but not overpowering, the ground pork was savory, and the mushrooms added a nice earthy touch. Every bite was creamy and satisfying, and you won’t believe it’s only $28! I’m so confident you’ll love it—I’d even do a handstand and… well, let’s just say if it’s not good, come find me (though that won’t be necessary 😉). Branzino (Grilled Fish)If you’re not great with Italian names, just say “grilled fish”—they’ll get it (that’s what I did!). It was tasty, don’t get me wrong—fresh, flaky, and well-seasoned. But it totally paled in comparison to the truffle pasta. Sometimes when one dish is that good, others just can’t compete 😂! We were a bit hungry from shopping, but it was getting late, so we didn’t dare order too much. Humans are such a contradiction—wanting to eat more but holding back for no real reason! 📍 Restaurant Name: Trattoria AmiciAddress: 783 Americana Way, Glendale, CA 91210 #food #LosAngelesLife #ItalianCuisine #OutdoorGardenRestaurant#tnWatercolor #FoodSketchJournal #LosAngelesWatercolor
