About
This spot is for anyone craving Italian comfort food with a modern twist in Hillcrest. Chef Luciano Cibelli brings his Milanese roots and global experience to create dishes that feel both familiar and exciting. He shops daily for local produce, makes all pasta in-house (gluten-free bucatini included), and bakes fresh breads and desserts. The full bar, cozy atmosphere, and outdoor seating make it easy to settle in for a relaxed meal.
Reservations are recommended, especially on busy nights like Thursday through Saturday. The menu changes with the seasons. Snooze, an A.M. Eatery is nearby if you're in the mood for breakfast another day.

“Okay”
We visited the Red Door right after it opened. The food was just okay, the service was mediocre, and it was quite expensive.
