Welcome to my scrumptious, stylish, spooky, happy place!

Rosaliné

Rosaliné

I've long been a fan of Chef Ricardo Zarate's Peruvian cuisine (his restaurant Picca was a go-to celebratory spot for me), and I've been eagerly awaiting the opening of Rosaliné, his new restaurant in the former location of Comme Ça on Melrose. Named for his mother, as always, Zarate's classic Peruvian dishes demonstrate a modern California edge, and I could easily make a daily meal out of the Corazon Anticucho (beef heart skewers) and halibut ceviche with crispy baby calamari.
