History
Aitor Zabala and José Andrés founded the first Somni ('dream' in Catalan) at the SLS Beverly Hills hotel in 2018. The restaurant earned two Michelin stars, and Aitor was named the eighth best chef in the world in 2020 by The Best Chef Awards.[8] In August 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the hotel and restaurant closed.
For the next five years, Zabala worked on reopening Somni with new investment partners, with the intention of opening it in 2023.[9] However, it wasn't until November 24, 2024 that it reopened. On June 25, 2025, at the presentation gala for the California edition of the 2025 Michelin Guide, it was announced that the Somni restaurant had received three stars just seven months after its reopening. Somni and Providence in Hollywood were simultaneously the first restaurants in Greater Los Angeles to be awarded three Michelin stars.[10]
