If there is anyone loyal to a restaurant, it should be Rihanna. The singer has a favorite restaurant she’s been going to since she was 18 (she’s now 35). The Barbados native, who is about to give birth to her second baby, has a penchant for a famous Italian place in Los Angeles. In fact, he has been going up to three times a week, according to Insider. In the last week, he has already attended twice. It is the Giorgio Baldi restaurant, located in Santa Monica, which is also frequented by a long list of celebrities.
This intimate place is characterized by simplicity, authenticity, love for tradition and full respect for its customers, many of them VIPs. And it is not only Rihanna’s favorite restaurant, other celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Beyonce or the Beckhams, also visit it regularly. The menu offers authentic and homemade Italian food, with pasta made in the restaurant itself.
In some interviews, Rihanna has revealed what her favorite dishes are when she goes to Giorgio Baldi. The singer orders half portions of three different pastas. On the one hand, one of her favs are the homemade ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese and asparagus ($23 for a full portion); homemade gnocchi with meat sauce or gorgonzola sauce (also $23); and a pomodoro pasta with basil, which in theory is no longer on the menu, but they prepare it for the singer, who is undoubtedly her best customer. In fact, she even has her own waiter, according to an interview in Rolling Stone magazine with Marco, her waiter, who also commented that other must-order dishes Rihanna likes to order are the calamari and Parmesan cheese.
Most paparazzi know where to find Rihanna, who usually capture the singer day in and day out at the entrance or exit of her favorite restaurant. If Rihanna has been eating here for almost half her life, there’s a reason.
