    My beautiful wife with our Special Family Pizza
    Miguel M.

    In a work day because my wife works Sunday at the station, we had to celebrate our wedding anniversary in an hour... so we decided to come to Compari's. Why? Because is quick in the service and delicious food. A humble place with human warmth, friendly and affordable!!! We had their traditional antipasto and a family House Special pizza and their Spumoni is back!!! Try it , better don't miss it!!!

    Half anti-pasta with bread and olive oil.
    Robert G.

    What went well? Everything! Finished a good hour swim in the pool and was ready to grub-big time. Been here many times, but this was my first time with the Yelp review. Ordered the anti-pasta salad for starters, then jumped right into a small meat lovers with extra cheese (both pictured). An Arnold Palmer washed things down. As for the server, I had the best of the best, a seasoned gentleman and familiar face in these parts named Elver. Top notch service all around. I'll be back...again.

    Spumoni!

    Always a good time at Compari's! I have been coming here for 20 years; the food is great and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming! The scene is close -knit and cute and the music in the background makes it a very warm and endearing location! I'm a big fan of the heavenly garden pizza, ALL of their salads, mushroom app and the chicken parm! May have to try some of their newer items too!! Make sure to try some of their homemade deserts like the spumoni!

    Pastas and garlic bread
    Shanelle S.

    A hidden gem with friendly service and cute vibes inside. Came here with my boyfriend for a lowkey Tuesday date night and we both really liked it. The portion sizes are generous and I really liked my chicken pesto. Similarly, my boyfriend inhaled his ravioli in a lemon cream sauce. Both dishes came with crusty garlic bread that came hot from the oven. The decor was rustic Italian with sparkling lights on the ceiling. The place is intimate and cozy. There's a few free parking spots available in the front, otherwise street parking is available. Credit cards are accepted. Dine-in and takeout available.

    Mushroom Ravioli in Lemon sage sauce special
    Katie H.

    Well, EXCUSE ME, sir/madam! I did not know what an incredibly tasting, sweetest staff, and friggin ADORABLE restaurant this was! My friends brought me after working on a short film together, it was an exhausting yet rewarding day to begin with, but this meal topped it. Excellent mushroom ravioli in a lemon sauce, some of the best Chianti I've Ever had, and a truly lovely intimate restaurant. Not to mention the music and vibes pergola above the restaurant made me long for returning to Italy. Thank you Compari! I will definitely be back. Also... Forgive me, I had a moment with the rest of the Mushroom Lemon Ravioli Special, so I only left one (momentarily to be rapidly consumed) ravioli. But here's her beauty. My god that sauce, I nearly licked the plate. Imma dream about this dish. Can't wait to have the next meal here.

    Lunch lasagna (big serving!) with side of garlic bread
    Ariana A.

    Eating out has gotten expensive, but these lunch specials are fantastic! $12 for most options, and comes with a side salad and garlic toast. The service is warm and attentive. Parisa is an absolute gem! I visited at the end of lunch when it wasn't busy. The peace and quiet allowed me to relax and enjoy the Italian ambiance and food.

    Chicken Cacciatore
    Becky B.

    This was a complete, and much needed, surprise! We hadn't tried a new (for us) Italian place in a while, and with it being National Lasagna Day back on July 29, my guy came through on finding this place. Holy cow, since we're already mentioning Lasagna, this place has the best lasagna that I've had in *years*. The pasta layers were perfectly cooked! There was no need to really use a knife to cut it apart. The edges were crisp without it being tough to cut or chew. The cheese to meat ratio was heavenly, and the red sauce (marinara/gravy/whatever you choose to call it) was deep. The dishes we got the sauce on were perfect. Even for the mozzarella sticks. The Chicken Cacciatore was hearty on so many different levels with the veggies and chicken and pasta. The lemon sauce ravioli was delicious, but I don't recall the specific ravioli stuffing. The Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken was spot-on comfort food. We also got the fried mushrooms as appetizer, which were stellar. They were perfectly battered and fried, but be careful because they do hold the heat from frying for a while. My guy is a cheesecake fiend, so of course he has to try it. It was imperfectly perfect. It looked homemade, so we asked, and while they don't make it in-house, they said they do get it from a local bakery. So delicious and worth the splurge if you have the stomach space. Service was splendid and the guy was a delight to chat with. It wasn't too busy inside, but there was a genuine mix of people/cultures that we really appreciated. The space is small, but the decor envelopes you and takes you away to somewhere other than a bustling urban area. Definitely going back.

    Decent old-style neighborhood Italian joint with all of the usual favorites. I would rate rate the pizza as average, since the crust was not impressive.

    A perfect, small mushroom pizza!

    Our service was exceptional! I have come here off and on for years, but I would say recently the food quality has elevated substantially. I love this local small business and hope more people give it the chance it deserves. Delicious pasta dishes are our family's favorite, but simple pizzas make the busy weeknights easy and we highly recommend. I just had a small mushroom pizza the last night and it was perfect!

    My own personal creamy cheesecake!  Happy Birthday to me!

My son suggested we stop at Ghost Sando Shop before I dropped him and his fiancée off. Great idea. My wife and I shared the Kickin' Chicken: chicken, BLAST spread, chipotle adobo, melted mozzarella and sharp cheddar, topped with lettuce, pickled jalapeño, tomato, and white onion. It was delicious. The guy at the counter was friendly and welcoming, and even delivered our sandwiches to us as we sat outside at one of the shaded tables - it was pleasant if you need a spot to eat versus taking it to go. One thing I really like on a sando is shredduce. It just makes a sandwich taste better. Not sure why. Ghost got it right. It wasn't busy shortly after opening on a Sunday, which was nice. I really enjoyed both the sandwich and the visit. We'll definitely be back. 5 stars.

It was delicious and the Dutch crunch bread was a good amount of crunch without being too hard that would rip open the roof of your mouth. I love the vegetable mix with it that included roasted peppers, pepperoncini but the Melrose spread was a tad bit much where it just oozed off the sandwich paper wrap. The sauce was good but a tad bit excessive. The staff was very nice but the food took longer than expected. Maybe that's because of them making it fresh but it seemed a tad bit longer than I expected for a non busy time I went (11am). Atmosphere is just your "fast" casual with outdoor seating which be nice when it doesn't become too cold or hot weather wise.

The folded egg sandwich is phenomenal, but the real game-changer is adding their house-made turkey sausage. I tried it once, and now it's hard to order anything else.

I had a seasonal peach Danish that was incredible, and the peach monkey bread with vanilla glaze was absolutely out of this world. Thankfully I had a couple of people to share it with, because otherwise I probably would've eaten the whole thing myself. The coffee is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is warm and tucked away from the hustle, and you can tell they care about every detail. One thing many people may not realize is that their brioche buns are so good they're featured at other popular neighborhood restaurants. Great food. Great coffee. Great people. Every visit reminds me why this place has earned a permanent spot on my list. If you're anywhere near Inglewood, do yourself a favor and stop by. You'll probably be planning your next visit before you leave.

Guess what they wanted as soon as they touched down? You got it! Sorrento's Italian Market here in Culver City! Now supposedly over the weekend they're going to make up for their surprise and lack of common courtesy by taking me to some nice restaurant apparently! I'll believe it when I see it. Settled on some hard salami and the sheer smell that emanates from the market. You've heard of or better yet even witnessed the smell that emanates from Pirates of the Caribbean? Well, Sorrento's market has its own unforgettable smell, and it usually winds up in a net gain of about 5 to 10 lb for your waistline. So other than some hard salami, I was sure to get the you know what out of here quickly! But do come by folks! Come from near and come from afar. My family just came from New Orleans (which happens to be the 1st city-yeah even before New York...that saw Sicilians specifically bring their great cuisine to this land) and the first thing they wanted was some hard salami from Sorrento's 2,000 miles away! Lol The spirit of Sorrento's market lives on through current owner Albert Vera Jr, who continues to do his father, mother, and the city of Culver City proud. It's not Culver City if there's not a Vera somewhere, somehow.
