In Los Angeles, tucked away on a quiet street within a residential area, is a small apartment with something special about it: outside the door, the sign says "Da Barbara" and as you cross the threshold, you'll find not a house, but a restaurant. Yes, a two-story restaurant with just 14 seats nestled inside an elegant living room, but with a relaxed, homey vibe.

The warm and intimate ambiance is evident the moment you step inside. The green-covered walls blend harmoniously with marble countertops adorned with stylishly designed dishes and glasses. Upstairs, two tables welcome larger groups, while the downstairs is the domain of romantic couples and special dates.
