Piero Selvaggio of Valentino Restaurant Group plans to open Primi Al Mercato on the top of Santa Monica Place on May 20, a dual trattoria and retail space known as the Laboratory di Pasta. The trattoria will serve handmade pastas with sauces composed of seasonal ingredients from the nearby Santa Monica farmers market. It is about time that the Bay Area has a place to buy specialty pastas.
