Superba Snack Bar To Open In Venice, California

Superba Snack Bar will open Thursday in Venice, Calif.

The restaurant is a collaboration between Pitfire Artisan Pizza creater Paul Hibler and chef Jason Neroni, previously of Osteria La Buca.

This modern pastaria will include local ingredients such as homemade pasta, house-smoked meats, local cheeses, and Southern California produce. 

"Superba Snack Bar puts all of my passions under one roof: pasta, pig, and plenty of farmers market produce," Neroni said. 

The innovative menu will include dishes such as Julia's chicken liver mousse with balsamic cherries; fried duck egg with papas bravas, truffle vinaigrette, and tuna prosciutto; and garganelli with lamb bolognese, black garlic, ricotta salata, and mint.

Special desserts are available, such as s'mores with chocolate pudding, graham cracker, and smoked marshmallow; and PB&J with sesame, hibiscus, and basil.

This Venice restaurant will initially only serve dinner, but will begin offering a brunch and lunch menu shortly.
