Osteria Mozza

On an unassuming corner sits one of the most decadent restaurants I've eaten at in a while. Osteria Mozza, located at 6602 Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles, was a wonderful splurge option for us on our trip. We ordered a number of items off the menu and split the dishes for a good taste of everything we ordered.

We ordered the burrata with bacon served with marinated escarole and caramelized shallots from the mozzarella bar (highly recommended by our waitress, both the burrata and ordering from the mozzarella bar). 

The restaurant makes all their own mozzarella, so definitely get a recommendation from this portion of the menu, it's worth it.

For dinner, we ordered the grilled beef tagliata and the Orecchiette, which is served with sausage and Swiss chard. Both were fantastic options.

Sprinkles Cupcakes - Beverly Hills

Although Sprinkles cupcakes has grown and now has multiple locations across the US, the original is located in Beverly Hills, CA. This was a must-do on our Hollywood to-do list, and we weren't disappointed! (We even did it twice!)

Also, situated between Sprinkles Cupcakes and Sprinkles Ice Cream is the one and only Sprinkles Cupcake ATM. The ATM is open 24 hours and stocked with cupcakes for that late night snack craving.  Be prepared though; both the shop and the ATM can draw big crowds and make for a decent wait to get your sweet tooth craving fulfilled.
