California Dining: New Eateries in LA, SD and SF

* The Aries Rooftop Restaurant and Lounge will open Nov. 11 on the top floor of the 11-story Hotel La Jolla on San Diego’s north side. The project is spearheaded by veteran restaurateur Alessandro Minutella and co-managing partner Giancarlo Guttilla, who together also run Zama and AKA in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. Aries’ interiors were designed by Cassandra Builer of Huntress Decor and draw inspiration from the glamour of European seaside destinations such as Saint-Tropez and Cannes, project backers said in a news release. The space has operated under several names over hotel’s 50-plus year history; it was most recently Sea & Sky, a seafood restaurant that opened in 2024. The hotel is a member of Hilton’s Curio Collection.

The application lists an On-Sale General Eating Place license, indicating that the business is seeking authorization to serve alcoholic beverages. The ABC filing, however, does not establish an opening date, and the company has not publicly confirmed a timeline for the new restaurant.

Los Angeles Pizza Worth Seeking

Don’t bother comparing Los Angeles pizza to New York City. It’s a total waste of time. I grew up in New Jersey, so I initially gravitated toward New York City style pizza, since that’s what was readily available. Restaurant competition was pretty fierce, so even neighborhood spots in the Tri-state area were pretty good. Since then, I’ve enjoyed great pizza in cities like Chicago, New Haven, Trenton, San Francisco, Seattle, blah, blah, blah. Good pizza is good pizza, wherever it’s made.
