Surfers Are Up Today at A Restaurant!

10.13.09

The A Restaurant in Newport Beach is well known for its fun, local celebrity guest bartenders nearly every Wednesday starting at 6 p.m. And this week’s bartenders are pouring drinks for a cause—even better! Surf industry vets, Bob Hurley, Rob Machado, Sean Collins and Jonno Wells, will be pouring drinks with director McG for SurfAid International and relief efforts for the recent earthquake in Padang, Sumutra. So stop by for a drink and raise funds for a much-needed cause.

Italian hot: Cucina Alessa

10.11.09

Since it opened along PCH in Newport last year, the wait at Cucina Alessa has been known to reach past an hour at the popular Italian eatery. Thankfully, the owners decided to open a second outpost in Huntington Beach on Main Street (where the old Shorehouse Cafe used to be). Expect the same homemade pastas, reasonable prices and big helpings. Chef-owner Allessandro even takes the time to greet each table. The calamari here is perfectly crisp and light with a zesty arrabbiata sauce, while many have raved about the squash ravioli in a brown butter sage sauce. The pizza here is also worth noting—the crusts are thin and crisp all the way through.

Cucina Alessa is at 520 Main St. in Huntington Beach. 714. 969.2148.
