Reviews
That being said, it was really tasty– from the soup, calamari, to the pasta (with pink sauce). The service at the front desk was great and everything was packaged nicely. Definitely exceeded expectations and now the wife and I want to try it again.
To be fair, I did have the pizza like 5 years ago and don’t remember it being anything too special but ready to give this place another shake. If they impress again, I’ll probably bump up to 5 stars.
Calamari- Crisp, good amount of breading, but missing tartar sauce. Good size for an appetizer with good pieces (not swirly ones).
Minestrone soup- Taste was good and wasn’t just the cheap kind you find in a cafeteria.
Chicken Carbonara with pink sauce- Good size portion and flavor was very good, no extra charge for switching the white with pink sauce. Chicken was tasty and all the mix-ins were good.
Overall very impressed and this is after trying some of the more esteemed places in LA like C&O and Fritto Misto.
Don’t know why it took so long to try it and glad I did!
I realize that various sites may have wrong information, however it is the businesses responsibility to check these sites, especially the most prominent one around being Google.
Had I known their actual time, I would not have waited and ordered sooner. Now, I may never bother with them again.
