Moving right along on our LA Times 101 Best Restaurants journey:
Number 89 — Perle in Pasadena 🤗
Lovely French-inspired menu 🍽 If you are a dill lover like me - get that martini 🍸 🚗 Parking Situation: convenient parking structure across the street 🤩

#pasadena #foodandwine #pasadenaeats #restaurantreview #explore

2016?! I can’t believe how much fun we packed into that year 🤗

In no particular order - I started working at Sony Pictures, family trip to Vegas, Disney World trip - Food & Wine Festival at Epcot, Saw Paul McCartney in the desert, saw Vin Scully’s last game at Dodger Stadium, met Michael Voltaggio, worked the Oscars, lots of trips to wine country, met Molly & Dru, L&B in Brooklyn, Cleveland trip, the happiest Andrew has ever been when the Cavs won, and so many fun trips with friends 🤗

#2016 #memories #leonettiliving

Second stop of the year on our LA Times 101 Best Restaurants journey:
Number 100 — Tun Lahmajo in Burbank 🤗
Tun Lahmajo delivers delicious Armenian food, generous portions, and addictive Lahmajo - I now have a new obsession with Armenian food 🚗 Parking Situation: small free lot next to the restaurant 🤩 Can’t wait to see what’s next!

#laeats #losangelesfood #lafoodscene #burbankeats #armenianfood

Made ravioli from scratch using my new pasta tools I received for Christmas 🤩 (thank you @epicadventureswithdani )

Spinach & cheese filling, homemade dough, and a butter sage sauce (with lots of pignoli nuts) 🤗 Yes - making fresh pasta takes a little extra time - but it’s so worth it!

#pasta #recipes #ravioli #foodlover #cooking

Ventura taco crawl: Taqueria Tepatitlan → Cuernavaca → Lalo’s → Johnny’s 🌮 Finished with a tasting at Municipal Wine and a full rainbow overhead. Proof that maybe some days don’t need much planning 🤗

My 2026 goal: eat my way through every restaurant on the new LA Times 101 Best Restaurants list. 🍽️

I hit 75 last year, so this year I’m catching the ones I missed plus every new addition—starting with number 101 🤩 Panda Inn in Pasadena, opened in 1973 by the family behind Panda Express, kicks off the journey. 🚗 Parking situation: nice, large parking structure behind the restaurant

#LATimes101 #PandaInn #PasadenaEats #foodblogeats #foodiereels

Happy New Year! 🥳 We wrapped up 2025 with incredible food and great company 🤗 I know 2026 will bring both challenges and joyful moments, so my goal is to stay present and practice gratitude for all the good along the way ✨

A cozy lunch at one of LA’s true originals 🍽️✨
The Tam O’Shanter has been serving Scottish pub food since 1922 🤗 It was famously Walt Disney’s favorite lunch spot ✨Stepping inside feels like a time capsule of old Hollywood 🤩

#TamOShanter #OldHollywoodLA #HistoricRestaurants #LosAngelesDining #leonettiliving

Checked out the top spot from our 2025 best restaurant list 🤗 It still held up - I just need to learn how to replicate the Pork & Green Chili Stew at home so I can control the pork portion 🍽 #losangeles #explore #restaurantreview #foodlover #leonettiliving

Having cheesesteaks and Cabernet for lunch is what the holiday break is all about 🙌🏼 #cheesesteak #losangeles #ilovela #foodreels #beverlyhills

As we close out 2025 I wanted to rank the Top 5 Hotels we stayed at this year 🤩 We were lucky to stay at some incredible places and these were my favorites 🙌🏼 What is your favorite hotel?? 🤔 I’m working on my best restaurant ranking next 🍽️

⭐️ 1 @littlepalmisland in Florida…it was a bucket list experience… now how do I get back there 🤔

✨2 @elencanto.sb in Santa Barbara…it is no longer a Belmond so I’m excited to see what’s next for this property. It’s made my top 5 list two years in a row

✨3 Mt. Ada in Avalon on Catalina Island…the service and amenities are top tier. Love this place. @visitcatalinaisland

✨4 Banning House Lodge in Two Harbors on Catalina Island…my happy place. Perfect place to stay when exploring this quieter side of the island. @discovertwoharbors

✨5 Crater Lake Lodge in Oregon…great location right on Crater Lake, stunning views, and cozy lodge vibes @craterlakenps

🤗 Honorable Mention: @delcoronado in Coronado… iconic - I only wish they had room service 🤔

#travel #hotelguide #travelandleisure #travelblogger #hotels

In Solvang for the holiday festivities and had to stop at @peasantsfeast for a perfect lunch 🍽

#PeasantsFeast #SolvangEats #SantaYnezValley #CentralCoastEats #CaliforniaFood #WineCountryVibes #LeisureLunch #FoodAndTravel #reels

Day 1 in San Diego, by way of the coastal drive down from Los Angeles. An important stop at Heritage BBQ in San Juan Capistrano, check-in at the iconic Hotel del Coronado — dressed for the holidays — and dinner at Callie to close out the evening.

A perfect start to a long weekend in SD ☀️

#SanDiegoTravel #LAtoSD #CoronadoIsland #HotelDel #leonettiliving #WestCoastLiving

Love the all of the Wizard of Oz themed trees at Hotel Del Coronado 🤗 L. Frank Baum stayed at Hotel Del back in the day and is said to have been inspired by the hotel’s beauty and magic ✨ Can you spot the details on the trees? 🌲 #wizardofoz #wicked #coronado #hoteldel

✨ Dinner at Callie in San Diego — a modern Mediterranean restaurant from chef Travis Swikard 🤩

Highlights include: hummus + warm pita, avocado labneh, Aleppo chicken, chilled broccolini, crispy patatas bravas, and pappardelle with a rich sausage ragu.

If you are heading to San Diego put this one on your list 🤗

✨ Slowly but surely making my way through the LA Times 101 Best Restaurant list… #48 ➡️ @heritagebarbecue in San Juan Capistrano 🤗

I really love BBQ so I knew I would be a fan and this place did not disappoint. As expected the brisket is the star - but the sausage link, ribs, and potato salad were also highlights 🤗

🚗 Parking: plenty of options

Status check: Made it three-quarters through the list! Not too shabby - but I’m ready for the new list - and ready to share my top 10 from 2025 with you soon 🤗

#brisket #bbq #heritagebbq #ilovefood #foodstagram #latimes101 #socalfoodie #orangecountyfoodie #foodieadventure #bbqlover

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 A beautiful meal full of laughs, a few tears, plenty of wine 🍷, and both old and new recipes 🍽 after the meal we took a stroll around the hills of Agoura ⛰️

✨ Back to checking restaurants off the LA Times 101 list… #57 ➡️ @malai_noodles in Thai Town 🤗

Mae Malai Thai House of Noodles is an affordable, family-owned restaurant focusing on regional Thai cuisine. A specialty is their original Thai boat noodles 🥵 I’m still recovering from the heat level on a few dishes—but every bite was worth it 🌶️

🚗 Parking: plenty of parking available in the shopping center

Status check: still many places left on the list—but I’m determined to squeeze in a few more before the end of the year 🤗

#ilovela #thaifood #thaitown #noods #noodles #foodreels #restaurants

✨ If Crater Lake isn’t already on your travel list - add it now ⛰️ The brilliant blue water, the hiking, the views — it’s truly one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever been to.

We visited a few months back and I can’t get it out of my mind.

In my new post on leonettiliving.com 🤓 LINK IN BIO 🤓 I’ve shared a quick guide — including a few other magical Southern Oregon spots to add to your itinerary.

Please read + save it for future trip planning 🙌🏼

@lawinefoodfest was my kind of event 🤩 great food, delicious wine, awesome chefs, and caviar👩🏻‍🍳 Wish I could go back today - but I’ll be ready for next year 🍽️ #losangeles #ilovela #foodlover #foodfest #foodreels

✨ Made it to the very top of the LA Times 101 list… #1 ➡️ Kato in DTLA 🤗

This tasting menu is Taiwanese-inspired and so beautifully done 🙌🏼 The vintage wine pairing was honestly one of the best I’ve had 🍷

🚗 Parking: Just use the big garage next to @rowdtla

Status check: between this meal and a few others on the list… I think I may need to have sandwiches at home for the rest of the year 😂

#kato #foodandwine #dtla #foodreels #latimes101restaurants #reels

✨ Another stop on the LA Times 101 Best Restaurants list… #21 ➡️ Azizam in Silverlake 🤗

I love Persian food so I already knew I’d like this place… but it still blew me away. The flavors, the vibe, the bread(!!) — just perfection 🙌🏼 Already plotting my return so I can order the other half the menu next time.

🚗 Parking: street / meters — so prepare for a short stroll

Status check: the clock is ticking and my wallet is fighting for its life… doubting I can make it through the list before the next one comes out but wow has this journey been WORTH IT 🤩

#azizam #silverlake #persianfood #ilovela #restaurantreels #latimes101 #laeats #lafoodie #foodiesoﬁnstagram #losangeles

✨ Still making my way through the LA Times 101 Best Restaurants list and just checked out #7 ➡️ Providence 🤗

🍽️ My first time dining here — and I can absolutely see why they earned three Michelin stars this year ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pure luxury from start to finish — beautifully prepared dishes, top-notch service, and an exceptional wine pairing 🍷

🚗 Parking situation: valet service — and our car was ready the moment we stepped out of the restaurant 👏 I love a thoughtful detail!

Status check: it may be physically and financially impossible to finish this list by year’s end… but what an adventure it’s been 🤩

Had the pleasure of attending the Travel & Words Conference in Medford, Oregon last week ✨. I connected with 23 incredible PNW destinations and can’t wait to explore them and share their stories with you 🌲✈️.

Highlights? Two amazing winery events (my favorite 😉🍷). At EdenVale, we enjoyed wood-fired pizza 🍕 in a pear orchard, and at Table Rock Vineyard, we savored Oregon salmon 🐟, made s’mores by the fire 🔥, stargazed 🌌, and sipped Rogue Valley wines 🙌🏼.

Huge thanks to Travel Medford and NW Travel & Life for such an inspiring experience! 💫
