Tirovino Wine Bar - West Hollywood

west hollywood  

I feel bad whenever I go to the wine bar because I really don't drink wine. But I tasted my friend's dessert wine and I liked it, so I ordered one too. The food was very good here, I really liked my spaghetti and braised beef brisket.

menu

We started off with dessert wine, Moscato D'asti. I recommend this dessert wine to people who can't drink wine like me. No, I can't drink wine, except this.

Complimentary bread

Lesso $13
Pot braised beef brisket with cabernet wine and mustard

Beef was sooooooo soft and flavorful. Get this appetizer. Absolutely delicious.

Pesce Milanese $14
Pan fried filet of sole with a lemon wedge

My friend's entree. It was too buttery for me.

Spaghetti $18
Lump crab meat in a garlic tomato white wine sauce

Pizza Capricciosa $11
Tomato, mozzarella, artichokes, ham

We asked for half with mozzarella and no ham, and other half ham with no cheese, and tomato and artichokes on both. The pizza was really big portion. $11 is a good deal. Also they serve pizza without cutting it into slices.

Acid free Tylers coffee

Acid free Tylers coffee

 

Introducing Tylers coffee. 100% Grade AAA premium Arabica acid free coffee.
Tyler's acid free coffeeis a high-quality blend of fine beans that's perfect for anyone on a low-acid diet.

Tyler’s Coffee uses a “Z-Roasting” process that optimizes the time the coffee beans are cooked; the result is high levels of caffeine and free of acid. Benefits of an acid free coffee are tooth enamel is protected and teeth are stronger leading to fewer cavities.

Acid is removed from the coffee through Z Roasting technology, a fully computerized roasting process. Z Roasting monitors, controls temperature, speed, air, humidity,  and atmospheric conditions to allow each delicate coffee bean to reach perfection. The coffee is then ground in specific multiple micro grind sizes, specially sealed & packaged, and shipped.

It's so much darker

The preferred method to brew Tylers coffee is the French Press. So that's what I did.

When I was in the area, I was looking up "near by places " on yelp and this place came up, and I'm just so happy I found this place. Too bad this place is only open until 7pm.

It's really hard to see..

Inside was packed with students with laptop.

So we sat down outside.  Very nice. Love it.

Cafe nico (3.5oz) $3.75 + tax
candied orange, half and half, cinnamon, orange zest

Yup, it's small. Well, it says 3.5oz on the menu, but the menu is so small and I really couldn't see it. Also my question was "where is candied orange?" Very expensive $4 a cup of coffee. It was good though.. But I'm getting cafe latte next time. That's 12oz and I need more than 3.5oz.

$1.50 ice cream sammies at Diddy Riese cookies in Westwood

westwood  

Yup, I'm not kidding.You can get a big ice cream sammy for only $1.50 here. No wonder always packed this place (Yes, I mean it. ALWAYS packed. You'll be waiting at least 10 minutes). So cheap and open late. Sure, Coolhaus is delicious, but their sammies are $5 each. Oh my god, I love this place. I wanna go there right now.

CASH ONLY

You can just buy cookies. $0.35 each or 3 for $1.

White chocolate macadamia nut cookie with strawberry cheesecake ice cream $1.50
They use Dreyer's ice cream.

Next time, I'm gonna do with two different cookies. Maybe oatmeal raisin with walnuts cookie and sugar cinnamon cookie.. or candy choco chip. Or maybe order two sammies. Why not?

Hawaiian shaved ice $1.50

Stan's Donuts - Westwood

One of the L.A.'s most famous donuts shop in Westwood, Stan's Donuts. I had a coupon for one free donut. I almost never in the area, but hey, thanks to Munch On Me for some FREE stuff. I enjoyed walking around in the area. I found some good places too.

When I was picking my donut, there were two guys helping me out and they were nice, but when I went back later on the same day to get one more donut, there was a girl, and she was super bitch to me, so I just left. Sorry bi*ch, I'm not buying anything from you.

So many choices.. But everything looks too sweet for my taste.

Simpsons donuts caught my eyes

Peanut butter and banana with choco chip also caught my eyes..

But I got this. I think this is Apple Cinnamon log $2.50 and I liked it.
