After facing a potential eviction earlier this year, Culver City restaurant Etta will close at the end of December 2023. The closure was confirmed by the incoming operator of the space, Paul Pruitt, whose management company Mosaic runs the rooftop Canopy Club on the property. Etta staffers were notified last week; Eater reached out to Etta management but did not receive a response.
Chef Michael Santoro, previously of the Beverly Hills Hotel and the culinary director of American Gonzo (Pitfire Pizza, American Beauty, Superba Food & Bread, and the Window), will lead the kitchen at the new and yet-to-be-named restaurant. Pruitt’s other partners include Sky Strouth (COO) and Alex Racioppi (Mosaic co-founder and CEO).
