The eponymous restaurant of chef Edoardo "Edo" Baldi, which is located in the heart of Beverly Hills, specializes in Tuscan cuisine with an emphasis on Emilia-Romagna flavors. Dining at e. baldi will transport you to the coast of Italy, where the flavors of the ingredients pop, the desserts are worth saving room for, and the experience of sharing a meal with friends and family becomes almost religious. e. baldi first opened its doors in 2006 and has since built a loyal following of customers who can be counted on to order their favorite dishes on a weekly basis – or who are eager to try each and every seasonal specialty that the restaurant offers. Some people swear by the fish, while others swear by the pasta, and still others swear by the desserts. One thing that everyone can agree on is that Edo puts his heart and soul into every meal. We hope that you will join us soon to enjoy a little taste of Tuscany right in your own back yard.
