Before the days of SUR and Vanderpump Rules, we were introduced to a new Bravo housewife who gave us a sneak peak into her business savvy and the ins and outs of running a restaurant…. which we learned is a lot more than arranging flowers and table settings.
In short, Villa Blanca is the embodiment of Lisa Vanderpump herself! Pretty and posh with a dash of provocativeness. It even smells fragrantly floral just how you’d image Miss V (we know because we totes hug-bombed her once at SUR).
This RHOBH-owned eatery serves up Italian/Mediterranean dishes in a chic setting that’s as exclusive-feeling as it is friendly and accessible. It’s quintessential Beverly Hills without the pretension.
So what’s to love?
- The Bar – the mirrored bar is the perfect place to snag a man or have a sexy date.
- The Waitstaff – Lisa Vanderpump’s notoriously attractive staff here is fantastic eye-candy and all smiles.
- The Open Air Seating – enjoy unobstructed Rodeo Drive-esque views of downtown Beverly Hills.
- The Crowd – movers and shakers galore.
- The Vibe – clean, white, and crisp.
- The Eats – we recommend the Ahi Tuna Tartare, Rock Shrimp & Asparagus Risotto, & Chicken Milanese
Better yet, you never know who you’ll see. Lisa is still very much hands-on and often greets her guests and even takes time to talk to tourists who comes to see the reality TV landmark. We sat next to pseudo-Beverly Hills Housewife, Marisa Zanuck (wuv her). Unfortunately, she wasn’t screaming Brandi sending her freaky threesome text messages…. but that’s probably just because that risotto left her speechless.
