Award-winning chef, @Barbara_Pollastrini, owner of @da_Barbara_P
restaurant in
Hollywood, has been cooking up masterpieces in the kitchen since
she was a little girl
in Rome. And dining at her restaurant here, it’s easy to see why
Appetito and Los
Angeles Magazine named her one of the top Italian restaurants not
to miss in LA. The
entire experience is like being in someone’s home. In fact, the
kitchen at da Barbara is
literally part of the dining space, so you can watch your meal
being prepared while
enjoying a glass of wine.
Please join me in welcoming Barbara to our #LittleItalyPodcast
&
#DeborahKobyltLIVE, where we will dive into her early years
studying in Rome and
her dream of coming to California, making a name for herself while
competing in
shows on the Food Network and Discovery Channel. Clearly her dream
came true, as
she is not just a famed chef, but also a female entrepreneur.
Barbara also serves on
the board of the Italian-America Chamber of Commerce West
@IACCW_LA, led by
president Genny Nevoso and a group of dedicated professionals - all
women.
Please join our discussion with Barbara on all video and audio
platforms of
@deborahkobyltlive, @littleitalypodcast, and
@littleitalyoflapodcast. I’m your host,
#DeborahZaraKobylt, and I thank you for joining us.
