Last week, two new restaurants opened downtown Culver City -- in the long-unused building off to the side of the Pacific Theatre. The building is there on the right of the above picture -- you can see how close it is to the Culver Hotel. Culver City trivia: it's our city's original city hall, police department and fire department.

EnjoEat Espresso is a bakery, café, and gelato shop -- with coffee, cappuccino, fresh pastries, panini, tramezzini, gelato, and salads for a quick lunch or break. EnjoEat Espresso also offers fresh bakery products -- bread, cakes, tarts, pastries and mignons.

EnjoEat Classico is a fast-casual restaurant at lunch, and a full-service restaurant for dinner. Lunch is served from 11 am to 5 pm with healthy food, quick service and no frills: you order at the counter and the food is served at the table. Each pasta or entrée comes with a side dish or soup. From 5 pm EnjoEat Classico turns into a full-service restaurant, with an expanded menu and seasonal specials.

Antonio Pellini, the mastermind behind Eatalian Cafe, ExEat and EnjoEat, came from Ventoso, a small village of about 800 people in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region 5 years ago, and with a group of friends from the same village, opened Eatalian Café.

EnjoEat Espresso, and EnjoEat Classico are located at 3912 and 3918 Van Buren Pl. 

Has anyone stumbled across these new restaurants? And if so, what you do think?
