Sanaa Lathan recently wrapped “By The Way, Meet Vera Stark” and can be seen in the movie Contagion – the 2011 American thriller film directed by Steven Soderbergh. Next up is Vipaka, a Voodoo Psycho Thriller with Forest Whitaker and Anthony Mackie. Even though Sanaa has been extremely busy, she always finds time for a great dining experience.

Mario Batali’s cozy, high energy tapas joint always hits the spot! The collection of small plates are broad and inventive- delivering solid ingredients and robust flavors. Sitting at the counter overlooking the kitchen is always fun but don’t take it for granted- scoring a table is pretty tough. I highly recommend making a res! If there’s a bit of a wait, Bar Jamon, Casa Mono’s sister restaurant is right around the corner, it’s a great place to grab a cocktail and an appetizer or two.

Mario Batali does a great job of transporting you to a cafe in Spain- allowing you to sample tasty tapas and great wine.
