About Somni

Somni is the restaurant of chef Aitor Zabala, who draws on his Basque and Catalan roots. It first opened in 2018 in Beverly Hills with a single table for ten diners, earned two Michelin stars the following year, and closed in 2020 during the pandemic1,4. Zabala reopened it in late November 2024 as its sole chef-proprietor, in a new home at 9045 Nemo St. in West Hollywood4.

The new room is reached through a garden under sycamore trees, where wire cloud sculptures hang overhead. Inside, designed by Juli Capella, 14 seats line long curved tables facing an open kitchen counter, with light wood, glass and a colorful bull's head by Okuda San Miguel carried over from the first Somni. A private room beside the wine cellar seats up to six2,4,5.

Dinner is a single tasting menu of more than 20 small bites, listed at $495 before wine when it reopened, with two optional pairings4,5. The kitchen describes a format where "cooks are servers and servers are cooks"1. The cellar holds more than 300 bottles, mostly from Spain and California, under wine director Caroline Costarella4.

About seven months after reopening, Somni was awarded three Michelin stars in June 20253. Its current Michelin listing describes it as counter dining in West Hollywood2.
