Came here to celebrate Father's Day with my husband and my snarky teenage son, who had just turned…read more17 after spending his birthday in Hawaii at a summer youth submarine training program (because regular camp is apparently too basic). We started with cocktails. I had the Mary Sue ("Pornstar Martini") with vodka, vanilla, passionfruit, salted lime, fino sherry, and champagne foam. YUM. Dangerously good. My husband had the Rob Gentile, an elevated Old Fashioned, and was thoroughly impressed. Service was great, and the food was top-notch. Let's dive in! Meatballs with beef, pork, ricotta, potato purée, tomato sauce, Grana Padano, and arugula--WOW. Cheesy, saucy perfection. Beef Tartare with tonnato, shallot, marjoram, crispy potato, and toast. Delicious and a generous portion. I ordered Coop's Pork Shank with Lambrusco-mustard glaze, aromatic jus, and potato purée. Tender, flavorful, and that broth was incredible. It paired perfectly with the broccolini... ...which we didn't order. We spotted the table next to us enjoying it with burrata and immediately added it to our "next time" list. My son ordered the Chicken Parm with capellini. He loved the huge chicken parm portion, which successfully fed his bottomless teenage appetite, but declared the pasta "too eggy." Teenagers are basically unpaid Michelin critics. My husband ordered the Scarpinocc with braised beef cheek, brown butter, sage, and saba. He loved it, but our resident food critic chimed in with, "I don't really taste the beef." Dessert was the cinnamon bread pudding with ice cream and caramel drizzle--absolutely worth saving room for. Everything was delicious, portions were generous, and we left happy (and full enough to feed a small submarine crew). Definitely coming back!

We really wanted to like this Italian spot, but unfortunately, it just didn't live up to the…read moreexpectations. The pasta was clearly homemade, and you could tell it was fresh, but the actual flavors were very underwhelming. For a place specializing in Italian cuisine, we expected a lot more punch. What really turned us off, though, was the lack of value. For the price of the food, the service policy feels incredibly stingy. They do not give you free refills on drinks, which is ridiculous at this price point--refills should absolutely be included. To make matters worse, you do not get free bread for the table either. Overall, we did not like this restaurant. Between the underwhelming food and being nickel-and-dimed for basic things like bread and drink refills, it is definitely not worth the price tag. We won't be back

I've been waiting for a chance to try Sunday Gravy for the past 5 years (they've been around for 6)…read moreand my recent visit did not disappoint. Sunday chop Salad: 10/10, I love the shredded lettuce, lightly dressed but packed with flavor from salami and green olives. Beet and citrus salad: 9/10, a tumble of beets and blood orange atop creamy labneh (somewhere Greek yogurt between sour cream), contrasts of sweet savory and creamy with a little pistachio crunch Meatballs: 10/10, just a side of meatballs, $8, but seriously some of the best meatballs I've ever had: so tender! And the sauce had the right balance of bright tomato tang and sweetness. As close to perfect meatballs as I can recall having anywhere. Crab Mafalda pasta: 10/10: crabby slithery and oily in the best ways. Rich and satisfying. Ragu with rigatoni: 8/10; I found the rigatoni a little too al dente, and while everything melded together in a rich and satisfying way it felt slightly under seasoned or lacking a flavor pop compared to the meatballs and other dishes. It was good but some of the other dishes blew me away and this one was just pleasant. Affogato for dessert: 9.5/10: good strong coffee, creamy ice cream, very enjoyable. The place is small, charming and eclectic, bumping hip hop music. They have a nice selection of wines (a couple of Chenin Blanc, which is nice to see). Service was fast and friendly. With food, drinks tax and tip, about $177 for a nice lunch. I'll definitely be coming back for a few of those dishes.

My husband and I decided to try this place again because there was a BOGO offer on UberEats....and…read morewe went back another 2x after that. The Ragu, Bolognese, A La Vodka, and Meatballs are all fantastic. The pasta is absolutely perfect (rigatoni is probably my favorite of the 3). The Cesar salad, however, is a little too salty with the cheese and breadcrumbs. So, if they could put that on the side and let us add how much we want, it would also be perfect. Their Cesar dressing is probably the best I've ever had. I called a couple of times after ordering, and their customer service was great. Accommodating and friendly. This place is definitely in rotation now.

The parking was a bit of…read morea nightmare, so if you manage to find it, this place is a must-try so you don't the opportunity. Luckily our group had about 6-8 people so we were able to try quite a bit of the food. Glapponese - Ground pork, garlic, bacon, soy sauce for pasta. Very strong umami in this. It's for when you'd like a simple pasta with meat and nothing too overpowering. Tarako - Cod roe and nori. This is another simple pasta when you'd like something with a strong salty flavor but want to mostly enjoy the texture of the pasta, which was soft and chewy btw. If you want a familiar Japanese flavor, this is the one to order Carbonara - A very familiar pasta in case you want to stay on the safe side. They still make it very delicious and creamy if you're in a simple mood for an Italian style pasta Keema Curry - This is where you start going for a more complex taste for your pasta. If you can't decide if you want an Italian or Japanese pasta, combine the tastes with pasta in curry Service I feel can be a bit more attentive. When they sat 6 of us down first, there were only 5 settings, so it seemed pretty natural to bring us a sixth set of utensils. But when we realized they missed it, we ended asked them. Not a big deal. But when our remaining two friends came, they sat them with us and brought out only 1 set of utensils, so we had to ask for it again. Just a small detail that had me a bit confused during the experience, but the food itself was great and we'd love to come back when they reopen

My friend is an El Segundo local and said it was good, and she was right!…read more It's kinda' wonky to find where it is, but you can park in front or the back of the complex because it's all kind of a courtyard type thing, so just park and follow anyone going anywhere, but you'll be led inside the circle and look for the red scooters out front. This is a great place to meet a friend for a chat. The vibe is good, and it's a nice, open place, and it's not too noisy. The food is delicious, and it's presented in a most excellent fashion. I had the hot Italian stromboli. I don't know much about strombolis, but this was a really good one! My friend had the chef's board. I'd say that's the way to go if you wanna' just snack, sample, and share. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. I was there mid-afternoon on a Saturday, between lunch and dinner, and there was plenty of open seating. By the time we left, people were already in line to get in. Shout out to our server Richard. He was awesome and helped set the tone for a great dining experience.

Not a great place for vegans/dietary restrictions…read more Over the phone I had called ahead to ask what options they had for vegans. She ensured me they had plenty by notifying. Sounded promising. This GF crust pizza was one of the suggestions...photos on the site looked decent enough. By the time you add gf crust (+4) , remove the cheese add 2 veggies (+ $6) about 10 pieces of spinach and a few small slices of zucchini) the pizza goes from $23 to $33. And tastes like cardboard. It's lacks sauce and flavor. Will not be ordering this pizza again

I ordered a pepperoni, mushroom, and extra cheese pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The sauce has just the right hint of garlic, giving it amazing flavor without overpowering the pizza. Every bite was perfectly balanced and incredibly satisfying. The real star of the meal, though, is the salad. It's loaded with garbanzo beans, olives, thick-shredded mozzarella, carrots, and plenty of other fresh ingredients. It comes with perfectly toasted garlic bread, and the whole lunch is just $12--an incredible value! I've also had the chicken Parmesan and the lasagna, and both were comforting, flavorful, and generously portioned. This time I went with my cousin, who ordered the beef ravioli. It was covered in a rich, cheesy sauce that looked absolutely irresistible--a cheese lover's dream! The portions are so generous and I always have leftovers to enjoy later. If you're looking for a delicious, affordable Italian lunch, Campari's is definitely the place to go. I'll be back again soon!

Very disappointed in Hilton, their standards have really fallen the last few years. Tried this…read moreplace after passing on it at our last stay in January, we should have not come at all. Walked in to a large seating area with two of the 30 plus tables in the area occupied. Asked if we had a reservation, we did not, so the greeter had to go ask the manager if we could have a seat. They regrettably agreed and we were sat at a nice looking table. My hopes were up until we looked at the menu; limited options with more apps than entrees. Prices were astronomical for what we were seeing. Decided on fettuccini Alfredo with added shrimp ($11 for the add), and the rigatoni with meat sauce. As a starter ordered the recommended chicken and orzo soup. The soup was delivered warm, with a few scraggly shreds of chicken and about 30 pieces of orzo. No seasoning at all, tasted like warm water. Asked for salt and put a ton on the soup but little change in flavor. Entrees came with the Alfredo dish having a good tasting sauce but only had three small shrimp with the entire dish about 1 cup of food. The rigatoni again had a good taste but it too was very small. What surprised me was both dishes were served with no bread, no garnish, nothing Other than the bowls of food. No effort was put into cooking or presenting the dishes. Service was good, ambience was great, but what a disappointment. We will walk down the street to the Hyatt next time. At the end of our meal, only four tables were sat, including us...
