A Day in the Love Island Villa: Lettuce Edition
Couple up with these Lettuce spots
Welcome back to (Lettuce) Love Island! If you’re like us, you’re currently obsessed with everyone’s favorite guilty-pleasure reality show. We’ve rounded up our best spots to channel that signature Love Island energy all summer long—think flirty fireside chats, sun-soaked settings, and way better food than what the boys are making in the villa. We may not be in Fiji with Ariana Madix, but we can still live like islanders!
Note: Read the following using your best Ian Stirling impression.
Rise and Shine at Summer House Santa Monica
Good morning, islanders! Time to rise, shine, and face the drama from last night’s recoupling. Naturally, the boys are in the kitchen making their signature breakfast dish: Avocado toast (under-seasoned and overhyped). Trade the villa kitchen for Summer House, where West Coast energy meets elevated brunch classics, and the Avocado Toast (available at the Chicago and North Bethesda locations) comes with scallion mascarpone, poached eggs, and house-made country bread. It’s guaranteed to turn heads.

Soak up the Sun at Pizzeria Portofino
Trade chats in Soul Ties for riverfront lounging in the sun at Pizzeria Portofino, which serves coastal Italian vibes alongside refreshing spritzes, salads, pasta, wood-fired pizzas and more. It’s the perfect setting for a proper girls’ debrief: Sunglasses on, tea spilled, and maybe a cheeky Portofino Purse to share. Whether you’re catching up on last night’s twists or just need a moment to pretend you’re on the Amalfi Coast, this is your go-to spot for sunshine and side-eye.

Sneak Away to the Speakeasy at The Bamboo Room
Need to pull someone for a chat? Rendezvous in The Bamboo Room, Three Dots and a Dash’s speakeasy within a speakeasy. Known for its refined and innovative rum cocktails, this intimate hideaway is the ultimate spot for a private convo, and maybe even a cheeky new connection. (Plus the illuminated bottles in ours hold something a lot better than Love Island’s wall of neon water)!

Channel Casa Amor Energy at Aba
In Casa Amor, islanders have to choose between their current coupling or the new bombshells. On Aba’s patio, the hardest decision you’ll have to make is which of their delicious mezze you should try. Will you stick with your go-to dish…or risk it all for something new? (Either way, a Thirst Trap frozen cocktail is in order!)

Report to the Fire Pit at Happy Camper Pizza – Las Vegas
When Ariana says to head to the fire pit, you know something’s about to go down. Don’t worry, Happy Camper Pizza – Las Vegas, with its cozy fire pits, neon signs, disco decor, and crave-able pizzas can make even the results of the latest “America’s been voting” poll easier to stomach. (Side note: We can neither confirm nor deny that the designer who created the Love Island villa also had a hand in Happy Camper’s design, but the resemblance is uncanny.)
