At the heart of Verise is a shared commitment to tradition, seasonality, and the pleasure of gathering. Concepted by Chef Riccardo Billotta, whose career spans Michelin-starred kitchens in Europe and New York, the menu draws from the flavors of Central Italy with a refined, ingredient-driven approach. Alongside Chef Jason Luke, the cuisine is grounded in Southern California, balancing Italian heritage with a modern, approachable sensibility.
