Stopped by for lunch on a Thursday. Pa'La has a Southern Italy vibe, think sun dappled olive and lemon tree groves, with a SoCal twist. We tried some of the tapas: mozzarella bufala salad, with very fresh arugula and nice, ripe cherry tomatoes; a salumi plate; and olives and almonds. We shared a Ramon Navarro bowl, which has just the right amount of soft, chewy grains and nuts, with a decent price of halibut on top. So don't be intimidated by the menu, the opener will gladly explain it for you. Now go and enjoy!
