Address: 1633 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291
Items Ordered:
- Mussels with saffron and fennel
- Clucks 'n frites
- Bucatini alla amatriciana (bucatini in spicy marinara)
- Bass, forbidden rice, mandarin beurre blanc
After our first bite of the mussels at Tasting Kitchen, we were madly in love with the restaurant. The mussels possessed a beautiful texture and the buttery toast was addicting soaked in the saffron sauce. The bucatini was our second favorite dish as the marinara sauce was actually spicy and the pork was extremely tender. Too bad we had to share the portion amongst 3 people :(. The roast chicken had a crispy skin and retained its moisture, but the taste was ordinary compared to the other dishes. However, it photographed beautifully and became the poster child for Tasting Kitchen when we were retelling our experience. The bass also had a nice crispy exterior and flaky interior. We highly recommend Tasting Kitchen and would definitely return; hopefully in the very near future.
