Westsiders have a couple of new options for casual dining.
Settebello, the wood-fired pizza joint from Pasadena and Las Vegas has officially set up in Marina del Rey with a full bar, expanded cocktail list, and the same Neapolitan-tyle pizzas as the original. From our experience in Pasadena, they do the trick if you're craving charred-crust pizza in a pinch, but we'd still drive across town to Mozza or similar. Settebello is fired up in the Marina Marketplace just above the Yard House from 11 AM-10 PM Sunday through Thursday, and till 11 PM on Friday and Saturdays (13455 Maxella Ave.;626-765-9550).
In Venice, you can find sandwiches and more at
Pork Belly's, which just opened this week for lunch, dinner and late-night gorging. Look for things like saucy smoked brisket with cole slaw, bbq pork belly on brioche, and even a veggie sloppy joe. Hours are 10:30 AM-9 PM Sunday through Wednesday, and 10:30 AM to 2 Am on Thursday through Saturdays (1146 Abbott Kinney Blvd.) [
