Featuring multi-regional Spanish cuisine by Chef Verite Mazzola
SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Taberna Arros y Vi, a European taberna style restaurant by owner Michael Hide Cardenas (Lazy Ox, Sushi Roku, Boa, Katana) infuses wit and whimsy into multi-regional Spanish cuisine. Taberna Arros y Vi operates in a charming space with an intimate main dining room featuring a copper bar, wine barrel bar tables from local Semler winery, original exposed brick walls, denim banquettes and leather accents supplemented by an adjoining private dining room. The menu is inspired by Chef Verite Mazzola with an emphasis on a modern approach that plays to the current dining trends of Angelenos and hinges on unique uses of rice throughout.
