The Westside at Its Finest

Adoteca (Possibly) Closes For A Remodel In Brentwood

Posted on September 17, 2015 by toddrickallen

Some of you have been wondering and asking if Adoteca, the Brentwood branch of the mini Ado empire had closed. You may remember that Adoteca was up and running in a matter of weeks in late 2013, replacing Osteria Latini at 11712 San Vicente Blvd. So I went by to check it out. Signs hastily posted in the window say that the Italian restaurant is only closed for a remodel. But nothing has been touched and mail is piling up inside the front door so I’m a bit suspicious. I’ll keep my eye on it…

Update: Eater is reporting that Adoteca is closed for good.

Adoteca (Miraculously) Now Open In Brentwood

Posted on December 6, 2013 by toddrickallen

I’m utterly gob-smacked… I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen a restaurant open so quickly on the Westside. If you remember, Osteria Latini only just closed up shop on November 17th in the tiny space at 11712 San Vicente Blvd. in Brentwood. Astonishingly, Adoteca has opened in the same space a mere 18 days later on Wednesday (Dec. 4th). Brought to you by the same people behind Ado on Main St. in Venice and Casa Ado in MDR, expect a solid and accomplished Italian menu with dishes such as Prosciutto e Burrata, Risotto ai Porcini e Mirtilli (risotto with porcini and blueberry), and Orta alla Griglia servito su un Letto di Caponata (grilled sea bream on a bed of caponata) served by friendly and accommodating staff in a dimly lit, intimate dining room.
