Santa Monica newcomer Villetta is launching a new late-night bar menu, served from 11:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. Wednesdays through Saturdays. The Italian-inspired selection refreshingly veers from the sliders and tacos that dominate most late-night menus for a little carnivorous ingenuity, with a pork zampone served with salsa verde (we’re praying it gets taxidermied into a pig’s foot), a grilled cheese overflowing with cured Italian meats, roasted marrow bones with oxtail red marmalade, and Jidori chicken liver espuma with cognac macerated golden raisins. Sounds like an improvement on the typical midnight snack around town. Check out Villetta’s full late-night menu below.
