Piero Selvaggio's Valentino Santa Monica

Piero Selvaggio

One of my favorite restaurants in the world and with a wine cellar that whispers sweet stories from the decades it holds, Valentino Santa Monica holds a spot in my heart filled with the past, the present and memories to be made in the future. For more than 40 years, Piero Selvaggio has wooed and wowed the tastebuds not only of Los Angeleans but of celebrities, dignitaries, and visitors from all over the world. Born in Sicily and having opened the now classic Valentino Restaurant in Santa Monica at the youthful age of 25, Piero shares his experiences, love of food and wine, and his Sicilian heritage with us in this free podcast of The Bikini Lifestyles Show on Talk Radio 790 KABC.
