Love at first bite! Chef Daniele Uditi of celebrity hot spot Pizzana in California and Texas opened a supper club in Los Angeles, California, which has amassed a waitlist of over 6,000 people.
The food expert, who is known for his tasty Neapolitan pizza loved by Jennifer Garner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kelly Clarkson, Henry Golding, Kirsten Dunst, James Corden, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carrell, and Usher, created Le Le Dinner Club to offer an immersive dining experience for foodies.
Uditi transformed a warehouse — located at a secret location — into an intimate dinner party scene, where diners are transported into to a space reminiscent of his home in Italy.
“I wanted to serve the same food I grew up eating. … Expect to be welcomed into a setting that recreates the feeling of a Southern Italian family home, where the grandma is in the kitchen stirring the pot and trying to feed you until you can’t eat another bite,” he tells ET.
And you certainly won’t leave hungry after enjoying a nine-course meal filled with focaccia, crudo, pasta, fish, steak, and dessert, all accompanied with specialized wine pairings from sommelier Ferdinando Mucerino.
You might even find yourself breaking bread with stars like Tiffani Amber Thiessen and Terry Crews, who have been spotted at the eatery.
“There’s a strong sense of community because you sit at a table with other people you’ve never met. … People love it because it’s not just about the food; it’s food with a story, and you become part of that story for the night,” he explains.
Regardless of where you’re seated, you’ll see Udiiti’s culinary skills up-close and get the chance to step into his kitchen to break footlong tubes of pasta for one of his signature dishes.
“To me, everyone who comes to LELE is a celebrity. … Everything is available in front of you, and you have the freedom to not just eat, but to have a heartfelt conversation with someone who genuinely cares about making sure you’re full and happy,” he shares.
