First time trying this quaint Torrance Italian Restaurant. The hostess was able to seat us fairly quickly without a reservation at 7:30 p.m. on a Thursday night. The menu for wine had many options, but I was extremely happy with my choice of the Complicated California Pinot Noir!! If the wine menu wasn’t enough, then came the garlic bread. The freshest, flavorful bread we couldn’t stop eating. The food menu threw us for a loop. We normally pick the same things when we eat Italian but this time we studied the menu a good 20 minutes. We decided on the Insalata Caprese for our appetizer. The flavors popped with freshness. Next came our main dishes. I chose the Spinish Ravioli, and my boyfriend chose Fettuccine with sausages. We couldn’t stop saying how delicious the meal was, as we took each bite! Now for our waiter, Al. He was attentive with just enough time to enjoy each course, and he really cared that we were satisfied. He spoke to us like we were family, so I thought he was the owner. I found out he was the manager who had been at the restaurant for a very long time. The bill was very reasonable for such a delicious bragable meal. Al, brought us more garlic bread for our leftovers. The dessert we decided to share, Terramasu, was unbelievable, but after two bites each, we decided to take it home too! We left with a very full and extremely satisfied feeling. We found our new favorite local restaurant!

Cozy, small Italian restaurant with a flavorful chicken piccatta. The lemon sauce complimented the capers above the entree. The added side salad was a good size. House garlic bread was fair. The table mats, posters and music added to the comfortable atmosphere table.

Pretty solid place lovely staff here. Wife and I had their signature sweet wine which wasn’t too bad but paid beautifully with our dinners. Our dinner consisted of chicken risotto, their signature pizza, and combination plate of Shrimp ravioli and shrimp and chicken Alfredo. Did not regret any of that mights choices. See you guys soon. I should’ve had more wine that night loved it.

Scardino’s is a very popular local Italian restaurant serving up classic dishes in a busy but well run environment. The staff is great and cares about your service while the food was just fine. I would recommend if you’re looking for some solid Italian in the Torrance/Redondo area.

The gnocchi with pesto was delicious! The interior was beautiful and the atmosphere was perfect for enjoying dinner with friends and family. Tiramisu was a little too sweet for me. But other than that I love everything.

The restaurant is very family oriented. Although it’s a small place, it’s very warm and comfortable. The food is delicious ! I had the mushroom and spinach risotto with chicken. It was tasty with enough to take home. The dish was especially good the second day. For dessert, they had a good selection. I opted for the chocolate cake…yum. It was rich, moist, and chocolaty. I would recommend to all my friends.

At here again on this trip, as one of my friends suggested it. I had the chicken marsala. It came with 3 nice size pieces of chicken, mushrooms with the perfect amount of sauce. It was a little on the sweeter side, but very delicious. Mixed vegetables and potatoes were served as size, which was a nice accompaniment to the main dish. Make reservations as this place is very popular!!

When you hear Scardino’s Pizza is delicious, remember that they offer, serve, and delight diners with so much more. Their seafood pasta is one of the best I’ve ever had – plus they exchanged the linguine for my favorite angel hair (aka capellini). And my friend cleaned his plate, as you can see with the photo of his empty plate – he he he. The service could not have been better with Al – and I strongly suggest you ask for him. I believe he mainly works Thursday through Sunday, and he has a rich history in the Italian restaurant Business. He checked on our table several times – not where he was bugging us, but perfectly, as he cared about everything – our comfort sitting outside, our enjoying the wine, our having plenty of garlic bread – everything. And everything was wonderful! I can’t wait to return and will call ahead, in order to be blessed with Al’s incredible service again! Also, the portions are huge and I took 2/3 of mine home. With that, the prices are so low and better than competitive. If I could give them 11 stars, I would.
