The 3 Pastas Rihanna Always Orders At Her Favorite Restaurant
The lifestyle of the rich and famous have been envied for decades. Whether it's the private jets, lavish mansions, or designer clothes, the ultra-wealthy enjoy the kind of life that most could only dream of living. Even typical milestones, like a wedding, can feel insignificant when celebrities like Gucci Mane spend outrageously on their wedding cake. Considering this, you may be surprised to learn that when it comes to food, superstars like Rihanna still enjoy great local restaurants. When she craves Italian, you may be surprised at what place the singer and entrepreneur dines at. It's not an overly priced Michelin star spot. Instead, it's an eatery that combines great taste with great prices: Giorgio Baldi.
According to its website, the Los Angeles restaurant follows four core principles: "simplicity, authenticity, the love for tradition, and full respect for our customers." With over 30 years in business, it's safe to say those principles have served the family-owned business well.
So if you're looking to eat like the Savage Fenty founder, you're lucky because we know exactly what dishes she loves to order when dining at the Italian spot that once got a lyrical shout-out from Drake.
How to eat like a Bad Gal
Ever traveled out of town and loved a place so much that you wish you lived closer to it? For most people, uprooting our lives to make that a reality wouldn't be an option, but for Rihanna, it was. According to Rolling Stone, her love for the Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi inspired the superstar to purchase a home within their Los Angeles delivery zone. That's top-notch devotion. So, what exactly are they serving that has made Rihanna visit up to three times a week since she was 18?
Speaking to Insider, Rihanna's waiter Marco advised that the singer has three favorites. She loves Giorgio Baldi's ravioli con asparagi (she typically only orders a half portion, which Insider notes is only a small handful of ravioli), its $23 parmesan-topped homemade gnocchi, and the delicious sauce that flavors its spaghetti Pomodoro. If you stop by, don't be alarmed if you don't see the latter on the menu. Despite removing it from the restaurant's formal list of offerings, the staff is happy to make it for you.
The best part about the place may be its emphasis on family. The restaurant's founder's widow, Roberta, still treks to the restaurant daily to ensure the signature sauces and agnolotti retain the "authentic, homemade flavor" that guests expect and love. A celebrity's life can be madness, so it's no wonder a star like Rihanna is drawn to this sort of comforting vibe.
