Chef Zach Pollack of Silver Lake staple Alimento is finally pulling back the drapes on his long-awaited Echo Park newcomer, Cosa Buona. The casual Italian eatery is slated to open its doors Thursday, May 25, in the corner space on Sunset and Alvarado where Pizza Buona once operated.

In this new space, the James Beard-nominated chef will roll out classic Italian-American cuisine, focusing on antipasti, salads and pizzas for dining in or takeout and delivery. Beginning on June 1, a selection of both classic and modern, playful interpretations of Italian sandwiches will also be on offer during lunch hours.
