I have mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, I received phenomenal service and got lots…read moreof food for a reasonable price. On the other hand, the food was disappointing. I ordered Combo # 1 which comes with beef lasagna, ravioli (you can choose between cheese, beef or spinach; I got the cheese), spaghetti with meatballs, and garlic bread. Unfortunately, my entree did not meet my expectations. The lasagna, ravioli, and spaghetti were crammed into one plate and topped with too much sauce. I couldn't even see the lasagna and ravioli. It felt like I was tasting multiple things in each bite. I would have preferred to see and eat each item separately. Additionally, I did not find any of it tasty except maybe the ravioli. And don't get me started on the garlic bread. Suffice to say I've made better at home. For me, a 4-5 star experience starts with great food. As much as I was impressed with the service and value, I can't say that I would be excited to recommend this place since the food was, in my opinion, just okay.

I liked the following pastas: #34 hot garlic with seasoned mushrooms Mushroom & sea urchin/uni Japanese style clam sauce with shiitake & shimeji mushrooms Japanese cod roe with sea urchin/uni, squid & seaweed I also love their $1 salad which can't be beat in pricing. Their overall pricing for the pastas are great. The staff is very friendly and this place can get very busy during peak meal times. So when it's busy, sometimes the orders will come out a bit slower. The vibe is just casual/busy dining where if you have a seat at the bar section, you can see the chefs making the pastas or other dishes.

The parking lot can get full, but I've never had an issue with finding a spot. The service is fast which allows the staff to seat you quickly and get customers in and out. They provide complimentary French bread with butter with your food. I like to have veggies with my meal, but I found the salad dressing to be a bit bitter. Their entrees are made using dried pasta and they have a decently sized menu. I have tried different pasta dishes, but I think the tomato and cream bases are my favorite. When I was feeling more adventurous, I tied the mentaiko pasta which I found too fishy for my personal taste.

We came for lunch on Tuesday and again on Friday because we wanted to pick up a Burke Williams gift certificate nearby--only to discover they're closed on Tuesdays. Oh well, that gave us a good excuse to come back Friday! Gaetano's has a new lunch menu. On Tuesday I had the Salsa Verde Steak Sandwich, and on Friday I tried the Gaetano Sandwich. Both were delicious and definitely won't leave you disappointed--or hungry! She had the Roasted Butternut Squash Ravioli both days and loved it so much there was no reason to try anything else. It wasn't very busy at lunchtime, so we didn't need a reservation. The restaurant was comfortably air-conditioned, which felt especially good on a hot, humid summer day. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, and two very enjoyable lunches in one week. We'll definitely be back!

Everything was Excellent with perfect texture of both pastas and soft flavorful meatballs. Lunch was extra busy the kitchen was at a perfect pace.

Hit all the marks. Great space, food, and service. Easy parking…read more DineLA was my introduction and I was impressed with the space upon walking in. It's an unassuming spot in a corner of a strip center that you could easily miss. It's the cutest space with indoor and patio seating as well as a few bar spots, good for solo dining. We started with the meatballs and Caesar salad. The meatballs had a crisp sear outside that gave way to a soft inside. So good with the tomato sauce and arugula. The Caesar had a touch of spiciness and was dressed with toasted bread crumbs, a nice touch. I had the bolognese. It was tender and meaty and the pasta had the right amount of bite. This was even great leftover the next day. The Meyer lemon pie was the perfect closer. DineLA was the right call to bring me in to to try this gem of a spot.

UPDATE! We came…read moreback about a month later to celebrate Hubbers' birthday, but the experience wasn't the same. I'm guessing since they're coming to a permanent closure, it only makes sense that the quality of the experience (food and service) had began to going down. We were seated immediately, so we were off to a good start. It took a bit of time for Daniel (yep! We got the same server from the last time) to come around and get our orders. It wasn't too bad since the wait gave us the opp to decide on apps and mains, so we got to put all our orders in at once. CALAMARI: Battered thin and crispy. Dash of lemon juice made it better. Quality? Yes. Quantity? Not so much. I thought it was pricey for the amount we got. PEPPERCORN POLPETTINE: Meatballs in cream sauce. Even with the whole peppercorns, the sauce was good. The meatballs, however, didn't taste or look homemade at all. (I recently made frozen meatball soup at home and the meatball's flavor was pretty much similar.) So.. meh... BRUSCHETTA ALLA CHECCA: This was the best app out of the three. Crostini was perfect and the toppings were all perfectly balanced. SPAGHETTI AI NERO DI SEPPIA: Looked great, but lacked flavor. Asked for fresh grated cheese and added black pepper which helped a little, but still missing something... Hubbers got the linguine pesca mare which he loved (he emptied his plate!) So I guess that says a lot. And I'm really glad he liked it, being his birthday and all. He also chose crème brûlée to finish off his birthday treat. (No, they didn't comp it - which is fine, and I don't expect them - or any business - to, even more since they are shutting down. I understand they need all the profit they can get.) Overall a little less stellar than the first visit. I'll admit I was a teenee bit disappointed since we had an amazing experience the first time. All the same, I'm still glad of the experience and wish them well on their future endeavors!

If you're planning an official cheat day in El Segundo, North Italia is absolute perfection…read more Everything on the menu is rich, flavorful, and incredibly delicious--definitely not light fare, but 100% worth every single calorie. When my wife and I go, she always gets the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka (the sauce has the perfect kick and rich texture). As for me, my ultimate strategy is skipping a standard entree and doubling up on appetizers: the Meatballs and the White Truffle Garlic Bread. The bread alone is phenomenal, and the meatballs are tender and packed with flavor. The only major downside to treating apps as my main meal? I begrudgingly have to share with the table! ;) Because the menu is so good across the board, coming here with a larger group is really the best move. It gives everyone an excuse to order family-style and try even more items--our group go-tos include the Calamari Fritti, Crispy Eggplant Parmesan, and one of their hand-crafted pizzas. Plus, since it's cheat day, pairing the meal with one of their crisp, local IPAs from the draft list is an absolute must. Once the waistband is thoroughly loosened, we finish off the night with dessert. We usually just let the table go with whatever seasonal special they're running, and it never disappoints. Great atmosphere at The Point, friendly service, and unbeatable comfort food. Highly recommend!
