Over the past few months, several new restaurants with exciting concepts have emerged throughout the Los Angeles area. Located in the heart of the lively Silver Lake neighborhood, Alimento certainly ranks among the most talked-about establishments in the area. Spearheaded by Sotto chef Zach Pollack, Alimento incorporates dishes and flavors from several different regions of Italy, from small plates for sharing to larger plates such as bone-in pork shank. Although Pollack relies heavily on traditional Italian dishes for inspiration, he reimagines them in a looser and more creative style. Alimento uses a broad range of locally sourced ingredients, including whole snapper, mackerel, and pork. The Alimento wine menu includes a rotating selection from Italy and the United States.
Much like the Alimento menu, the restaurant’s décor incorporates a combination of rustic and modern elements. The plywood ceiling and benches from old church pews create a down-to-earth feel, while occasional bursts of color add a modern touch.
