Benvenuti Dinner

Available for Southern California only - Santa Barbara to San Diego

Chef Steve Samson
Samson grew up spending summers in Bologna, Italy, his mother’s hometown, where life centered around the dining room table.  After graduating from New York’s Institute of Culinary Education, he worked at various Michelin-starred restaurants throughout Italy before returning to Southern California in 2009, where he opened the award-winning Pizzeria Ortica in Orange County. In 2011, Samson opened Sotto in Los Angeles, which earned immediate acclaim as Los Angeles Magazine’s #1 Best New Restaurant and one of Esquire Magazine’s Best New Restaurants in America.  Rossoblu is the recipient of the 2019 Michelin's Bib Gourmand and perennially listed on EaterLA's Essential Restaurant list since its opening in 2017. It's been a critical darling since Jonathan Gold listed it as a top ten Los Angeles restaurant after only being open one year.
