One of my favorite things in the world is fresh burrata from Gioia Cheese Co., which I believe is in El Monte.
What are some restaurants out in West LA/Santa Monica where one eat a big ball of burrata with nothing more than some fresh ground pepper and olive oil?
Also interested in where I can just buy a ball of fresh Gioia burrata to eat at home.

Campanille has been serving with burrata for years and Mark Peel was the first to introduce me to said marvelous cheese 5 years ago.

I have never seen such a plain preparation however it is available from most Bristol Farms. Bay Cities-- freshness really counts-- gets delivery twice a week. $10/ball

I'm not sure the brand, but they serve a fabulous burrata appetizer at La Buca. It's quite good.

In west LA, I know Vincenti Ristorante has burrata every night. Usually in the form of a Caprese with either fresh, hierloom, or sundried tomatoes. Sometimes they also have it with a beet salad or salumi...both of which are fantastic.
Also I think Gorgio Baldi often servers Burrata...as well as Il Grano.

Mozzarella Mondays at Jar Restaurant on Beverly is wonderful. Nancy Silverton stands there wielding a panini press and assembling amazing plates involving burrata and burricotti, a dozen different choices that change weekly. The buricotti with braised artichoke hearts, currants and pine nuts on grilled bread was amazing, as was a celery straciatella with buratta and a celery leaf pesto.

The Farmer's Market on Tuesdays in Culver City has a Cheese Stand/Vendor who sells fresh burrata. It's not a huge ball but delicious. So you can take it home and make it like you love it.
