Best rustic tart in the LA area?

I started off asking what the best rustic dessert tart was in the LA area, and now I've decided that I don't care if it's sweet or savory. I just want something hand-made (looking rustic and not perfect), leaning towards a French style, fresh (not looking like a plastic dessert in a pastry case), and extremely good. Suggestions? I'm not from LA but will be in town soon for a couple days, so please no lame suggestions. I'm only looking for the creme de la creme.

    My pick would be the various seasonal fresh fruit Crostada offered at Bite Bar & Bakery. They are often spectacular!

      Huckleberry's blueberry (& strawberry) crostatas are excellent..albeit $$.

        I would have to say my own, but Huckleberry is really really good. And I'm using Zoe's recipes!
