ANNUAL RESTAURANT ISSUE | Cover Story

Whether you're craving a Cuban mojito, an Indian iddly or a picture-perfect Parisian pastry, L.A.'s got your dish. Here are the people who create them and the best places to get your fix--from A to Z.

June 10, 2001|S. IRENE VIRBILA and MARTIN BOOE and LINDA BURUM and MAX JACOBSON and CHARLES PERRY

Farro is the grain that sustained the globe-trotting Roman armies on their daunting marches. Tuscan cooks still use this ancient form of wheat to make a rustic soup called zuppa di farro, basically pasta fagioli with the farro grains standing in for the pasta. At Celestino Italian Steak House, Celestino Drago studs a delicious bean puree with the chewy grain--a perfect prelude to a hefty bistecca. Celestino Italian Steak House, 8908 Beverly Blvd., West Hollywood; (310) 858-5777. Borlotti bean and farro soup, $6. Entrees, $14 to $32.
