In case you\u2019re not familiar with this luxurious cheese, burrata is basically uber-mozzarella. It\u2019s actually made from mozzarella and cream<\/em>. And it\u2019s heavenly. When you cut into the outer shell, cream and stracciatella (yet another kind of creamy Italian cheese) just oozes out.<\/p>\n I\u2019m actually not a cheese-lover, per se, but I could eat burrata all day long.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s just what we can all<\/em> do at Burrata House in Culver City. (They also have a pop-up location in one of the hippest venues in downtown LA, Grand Central Market; I can\u2019t wait to visit them there, too.) I only wish this place had been around when I was the restaurant critic for the Culver City News. I would have loved to be the first person to review it!<\/p>\n The inside eating area.

Or take it to-go, as my friend Noelle and I did the other day (because we had hungry men at home.)<\/p>\n No matter where<\/em> you eat it, the burrata is the star here, of course! And I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way. I love that stuff!<\/p>\n Since this was our introduction to Burrata House, my group and I decided to share three sandwiches and two bowls, which are both great ways to enjoy the delectable cheese. It was the perfect amount\u2014that way, among the four of us, we got to try a little bit of everything.<\/p>\n We tried three different sandwiches\u2014turkey, vegetarian caprese, and the crudo, which is uncooked<\/em> prosciutto. (They offer both kinds of this Italian ham.) While we really did enjoy them all, the guys\u2019 favorite was the turkey, while we girls were a tad more partial to the prosciutto. But we all agreed that the freshly toasted rolls give the paninis just the right amount of crunch.<\/p>\n The bowls.

They each contain salad, farro*, and meats or veggies, with a healthy chunk of burrata right on top. We tried both the veggie, which is perfect for vegetarians, of course, and the cotto, which is cooked<\/em> prosciutto, which most of us liked a bit more because we\u2019re a quartet of carnivores. You can mix it all up in the bowl or eat it in sections, as we<\/em> did. Tasty salad dressing is included on the side. *[Note: For a couple of dollars more, you can go gluten-free with quinoa instead of farro.]<\/p>\n And it\u2019s all made-up fresh right in front of you! There\u2019s nothing pre-packaged about any of the fare at Burrata House.<\/p>\n You really don\u2019t need more than what I\u2019ve already mentioned, but if you do<\/em> want to augment your panini or bowl, there are a few choices of add-ons, such as olives and sun-dried tomatoes, along with a side salad and a bag of chips. And if you need a bit of sweetness to end your meal, (as I<\/em> always do,) there are cups of gelato in a case near the door.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
