Picala is a gathering place in the West Adams neighborhood of West Los Angeles, an energetic crossroads where Culver City, South Los Angeles, and West Los Angeles come together. Rooted in the Spanish tradition of sharing food as community, it's a restaurant designed for connection: a bar for quick tapas and a cocktail, a patio for lingering with friends, or a dining room for a full live-fired feast. Ingredient-driven, fresh, and welcoming, Picala is where the Westside comes to eat, drink, and belong.
The name comes from a rarely used rural Spanish idiom for the meeting of paths, a crossroads where people gather, share, and delight in one another. That is the spirit we want to bring to Picala, our own crossroads
in West Los Angeles.
