Lunetta & Friends — A Chef Collaboration Series

Join us for Lunetta & Friends, a one-night-only culinary collaboration celebrating friendship, fire, and Santa Monica summer. This special event brings together Marelle’s own Chef Raphael Lunetta and acclaimed two-star Michelin Chef Josiah Citrin for a live-grilled dinner inspired by their longtime annual summer BBQ tradition.

The evening honors more than 45 years of friendship between Citrin and Lunetta — What began as a backyard-style summer celebration in Venice has been reimagined at Marelle for one unforgettable evening of coastal flavors, shared memories, and open-fire cooking.

LUNETTA & FRIENDS: CHEFS JOSIAH CITRIN & RAPHAEL LUNETTA Experience a nostalgic summer BBQ reimagined through a refined coastal California lens, with both chefs live grilling throughout the evening in an intimate ocean-view setting.
