"Few people are going to complain about your gameday hosting skills if there’s a giant tray of mozzarella sticks on the table—which is why you need to go to Cosa Buona. That’s right, skip the frozen bag buried deep in your freezer (we all know it’s there) and head to this neighborhood Italian spot in Echo Park for the best house-made mozz sticks in the city. You can order them a la carte off the regular menu, but if you’re expecting a good-sized crowd, head to the catering menu where you can buy for parties of four to 14 people. While you’re at it, throw in a few perfectly-charred wood-fired pizzas as well. " - brant cox
