Superba Snack Bar Opens Thursday

The room via Neroni's Tweets

By Lesley Balla

The hype around Superba Snack Bar - the Paul Hibler-owned, Jason Neroni-helmed pastaria - has increased ten-fold with the chef's recent Tweets. He's announced that the Venice restaurant will finally and officially debut on Thursday (July 19), although reps say that's only if friends and family goes well. We have a feeling it will. There's even a new website with opening menu to get everyone more jazzed.

As mentioned before, Neroni, who last came from Osteria La Buca and a slew of NY restaurants before that, has a penchant (as most LA chefs do) for seasonal, local ingredients, and he's making a slew of handmade pastas like agnolotti with cauliflower puree, smoked pine nuts and pig cheeks, squid ink spaghetti with sea urchin, and smoked (yes, smoked) bucatini carbonara. For now, Superba will be dinner only with lunch and brunch on the way.
