We knew that Miami’s hip Italian “food and lifestyle” brand, Casa Tua Cucina, was coming to Beverly Hills. It was first reported to be joining the massive One Beverly Hills project. But things seem to have changed. There’s a new ABC application up on the space at 153-159 S Beverly Dr that appears to show the lauded eatery is landing across the street from South Beverly Grill. What Now is confirming the new location. I’ll keep my eye on the space to see what develops, until then read more about Casa Tua here.

A new baked treats shop is aiming to become “your favorite neighborhood bakery“. There’s window paper up on the corner space in the new development at 3223 Wilshire in Santa Monica announcing the arrival of Louma Bakery. Louma appears to be a new business, but this job listing lets us know what will be on offer: “breads (sourdough, baguette, rye bread…), [and] classic pastry (Danish and French style)“. Apparently, they are opening soon.

Readers have been writing in droves to let me know the exciting news that there’s a new ABC application at 418 Wilshire Blvd (once home to Wahoo’s Fish Tacos) announcing the arrival of Joy. This Joy will be their second LA location, the first being Joy on York in Highland Park. Joy specializes in “heartful, and authentic Taiwanese specialties” influenced by Taiwanese street food and night markets, served in a casual, cozy neighborhood setting. No word on an opening date, but until then read more about Joy here and here. With hip Shirube right next door, this stretch of Wilshire Blvd is certainly turning into an exciting dining destination.
