Wearing a traditional white chef’s coat and hat, Jason Tingley is the MLB All-Star of stadium concession dining at LA’s Chavez Ravine. Working diligently behind kitchen doors as Lasorda’s right hand man, Tingley has earned his fine culinary reputation as a first-class restaurateur in the past at local favorites Patina and Water Grill. Now bringing his magic to Tommy Lasorda’s Trattoria, the down-to-earth chef is making baseball fans crave for his scrumptious menu at Dodger Stadium. What began as peasant food by mixing flour, water, salt and yeast topped with seasonal ingredients cooked by Italian bakers using the residual heat in their ovens, pizza has become a blank canvas for artisans to create signature pies for even Hollywood’s rich and famous. Yet, Chef Tingley has made sure everyone can afford to eat his delicious food at Lasorda’s Trattoria.

Whether enjoying Tommy’s favorite–a bowl of penne pasta served with red sauce and a mountain of delectable meatballs–which Lasorda swears to taste closest to the way his mother used to make them at home, a Chicken Parmesan sub covered in marinara or a spicy Italian sausage sandwich with peppers and onions, fans cannot go wrong with the plethora of options available at Lasorda’s Trattoria. Diners are guaranteed to leave with an ear-to-ear grin after eating cannoli and gelato for dessert.
