This place has a special place in my heart. I met my girl crush Ashley Benson and I will always go back here for that core memory 💘 This Swiss inspired restaurant is really known for its beautiful charcuterie boards and yummy cheese fondue! 🫕

Tacombi

@charlottedekemp

A little basic hotspot, but the best tacos and margaritas in my opinion! The interior is designed to look like a Mexican streetfood corner, it’s adorable ☺️

Bar Pitti

@charlottedekemp

By far the best, most authentic Italian restaurant in the city! Get the charcuterie board to share and choose on of their freshly made pastas as a main! I recommend the truffle pasta 🍝😋

Lil' Frankie's

@charlottedekemp

It’s probably the most cramped Italian place, but god damn it’s good! I recommend sharing everything, you have to try as much as possible 🤤
