Mike Gordon - Owner, Toscana Brentwood

I LOVE authentic, Italian food like I’m in Italy, and when I eat at #Toscana Brentwood, I feel like I AM in Italy.
And today, we speak with #MikeGordon, owner of Toscana, one of the most notorious Italian restaurants in all
of Los Angeles for over two decades.
Mike fell in LOVE with all things Italian and spent time in Italy to learn everything about food and wine from the
best. But it was actually a day spent with Wolfgang Puck that convinced Mike to get into the restaurant
business over 25 years ago. Now he’s got six restaurants between LA, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, and Santa
Ynez. In fact, Mike and his wife have a vineyard on their property in Santa Ynez, where he makes his own
wine, and pizza, too!
There’s so much to talk about from Mike’s background as an entertainment executive to his Hollywood A-List
friends and customers. There’s so much to share, so please tune into our show today, with host
#DeborahZaraKobylt, and bring a little bit of Italy into your life. #LittleItalyOfLA and #DeborahKobyltLIVE
