Photos: Sunday Dinner for 30+ in Silver Lake

Every Sunday, more than 30 people gather at Resa and Diego Caivanos’ Silver Lake home for Sunday dinner.

LOS ANGELES, CA., JUNE 9, 2019: The kitchen in Doctors Diego and Resa Caivano's home is buzzing with activity while everyone helps to prepare the Sunday dinner June 9, 2019. The fresh vegetables came from their rooftop garden. The Caivanos love having dinner with their friends so much that it has become a tradition in their hillside Silver Lake home. On any given Sunday as many as 30-50 people are fed grilled delights from their outdoor pizza oven and grill and vegetarian dishes mixed with the fellowship of friends and neighbors. Designed by architect Brooks Atwood, the home reflects the funky, stylish, intelligence of the owners with a nod to practical, natural elements like an edible rooftop garden and a pool that is filtered by plants

The kitchen in the Caivano’s home is filled with family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances. Diego calls their home, a safe space.
