Monet's L.A. Must Try: Cesare's Table

A Seat at Cesare’s Table (You’ll Never Want to Leave)  

Tucked into W 3rd St like a secret worth gatekeeping, Cesare feels less like a restaurant and more like the pied-à-terre of someone fabulously well-fed. It’s Italian—but not in the red-sauce, checkered-tablecloth way. Think vintage Fellini meets fresh antipasti and delicious wine.  Start with the meatballs or the burrata di bufala (you'll wonder why you’ve never made friends cheese with like this), then surrender to the pastas. The Bolognese has the confidence of a cash buyer, while the Vongole is pure escrow closing comfort. The Milanese and the Branzino will keep you coming back for more.

The crowd? Stylish but not showy—more “off-market intel” than influencer bait. And the vibe? Warm lighting, a hint of linen, and just enough noise to make secrets feel sexy.The service? A solid 10+, with Cesare himself usually front and center, greeting you like you’re already a regular (or should be). Yes, that Cesare of the Madeo and Giorgio Baldi lineage. But dare I say… this might be the crown jewel of the family empire. Warmer, chicer, and—whisper it—better pasta.  Cesare isn’t just dinner—it’s the kind of space that makes you rethink your lighting, your plateware, and possibly your lease.

Laura's Rancho Santa Fe Must Go:

Rancho Valencia

Rancho Valencia: A Hidden Oasis in Rancho Santa Fe

Tucked into the hills of Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa blends Spanish hacienda-style charm with lush, Balinese-inspired landscaping. With swaying palms, blooming bougainvillea, and the scent of citrus in the air, it’s the epitome of laid-back luxury. Opened in 1989 as a top-tier tennis resort, it's now the only Relais & Châteaux property in Southern California—a distinction that reflects its commitment to refined, restful living.

The spa alone is worth the visit. From the moment you arrive, you’re wrapped in calm. My massage was so restorative I didn’t want to get off the table. The oils—lightly scented with tuberose—were exquisite, and every touch seemed to melt away stress. Afterward, lunch at The Pony Room continued the indulgence. Their signature burgers are a must, and dining on the patio surrounded by manicured gardens was the perfect way to savor the day.

Even the pool invites pause. Framed by greenery and dotted with cabanas, it’s ideal for lounging or a quiet swim. Whether you’re coming for a weekend escape or just a day of indulgence, Rancho Valencia is more than a resort—it’s a sensory retreat that leaves you lighter, calmer, and already dreaming of your return. Rancho Valencia is more than a resort—it’s a full-body exhale.

How's the market?
