SOUTHERN COASTAL EUROPEAN CUISINE

SAVOR THE FLAVORS OF SOUTHERN COASTAL European CUISINE

A blue door (porta blu) is a symbol of Mediterranean culture and hospitality. We invite our guests to relax in a refined atmosphere characteristic of a Southern Coastal European escape. Our menus feature inspired cuisine with a twist. Rooted in culinary traditions found throughout the southern coast of Europe, dishes draw inspiration from Spain, France, and Italy and combine with seasonal, fresh California ingredients to serve inventive yet familiar interpretations of classic flavors.
