Chef Leonardo Curti has a devoted following from his 20 years as co-owner of Trattoria Grappolo in Santa Ynez. His fans now flock to his unassuming strip-mall spot for a warm family-style vibe and consistently excellent Italian classics. Curti’s cuisine transports diners to his native Cariati Marina Calabria region with dishes such as pollo alla Parmigiana, scaloppine alla Marsala, osso buco di vitello risotto, braised veal shank with saffron risotto, and roasted Mediterranean sea bass. Pizza with mozzarella and spicy soppressata (Italian dry salami) is a star.
