Housed on the second floor of a nondescript low-rise, this long, deep and boisterous hotspot is a Mediterranean-inspired bistro at heart, taking familiar plates and presenting them in new, creative and satisfying ways. Often bold and iconic, such as ricotta dumplings with mushrooms and Pecorino Sardo and, pork with Marcona almonds and dandelion greens.
Prior to opening Estela, Ignacio Mattos cooked at Il Buco and Isa, and his experience includes work with Alice Waters’s Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California. Part-bar, part-restaurant, Estela is also known for a serious wine list as well as it's exquisite, innovative seasonal dishes.
