La Puglia

Santa Monica’s newest restaurant is La Puglia! This is an all-day Southern Italian restaurant that serves a vast array of pizzas, pastas, and pastries. For starters, you can order meatballs in tomato sauce, 24-month-aged prosciutto di Parma, and eggplant parmesan. Their pizzas are topped with everything from artichokes to spicy salami to Italian ham. There is also an entire section dedicated to different kinds of bruschetta.
