The garlic bread was served warm and the minestrone soup was just as good as we remembered. This time, I ordered the angel hair Alfredo, and unfortunately it was very underwhelming. The sauce was incredibly bland and lacked seasoning, which was disappointing because I was really looking forward to it. Taste just like milk. I think with a little more flavor or seasoning it could have been a great dish. Overall, the service and ambiance were enjoyable, and we'd be willing to come back to try other menu items again.

Went in excited for a nice Italian dinner, left frustrated. The food was fine, but the service was…read morea joke. Our server didn't actually serve us -- they just passed plates on the table without a word, no "here's your pasta" or check-in after. Nobody offered drinks the entire night. We had to flag someone down for water, and even then we only got one refill. No wine list, no "can I get you anything else," nothing. Felt like we were at a cafeteria, not a sit-down restaurant. If you're paying Italian restaurant prices, you expect hospitality. We didn't get any. Won't be back

So very disappointed. Not only have I been eating here for decades, but continued to order from…read morehere pretty regularly... until they continuously messed up our order. The last 3 times they've at least attempted to rectify their mistake... meaning we had to make a 2nd trip to pick-up whatever it was they forgot. So we took a break... sad because we always enjoy the food. Foolishly, we decided to try again... and again they messed up our order... this time they didn't put chicken on our pasta. It seems whoever took the order didn't write it down... wish I could say this was a big surprise! So we were fully willing to pay the difference and make the 2nd trip once again. But because it was near closing that was not made an option... just a sorry and goodbye. So now... after 6pm on Sunday, we are thinking of what 2nd meal we will have to purchase and pick up.... because this plain pasta is just not going to feed the 2 of us. We have so few options already in Montebello and we always prefer to support local small businesses.... but REALLY??? How do you consistently get it wrong??? Well I guess quantity is more important than quality... so unfortunately now we have 1 less option.

Definitely coming back! I was in the area for a surgery for a family member and it was going to be…read morea while so I walked to this deli. Saw the reviews and had been recommended to check it out so I finally went. Safe to say I was satisfied. Good amount of food for what you pay. Fresh and tasty. They have some seating area inside. I walked but it seems like they have parking in the back because people were entering through the back door. I ordered the Mombo plate which is a choice of sub and 2 sides. For sub I ordered THE 58 CLASSIC and as sides I had their Garlic Pesto Potato Salad and Purple Cabbage. Both good but very garlic centered, I love garlic so I don't mind but maybe next time I'll get something else to balance it better. Service was good. They greeted and answered any questions I had and offered their advice or recommendations when I asked for some.

Ravello Osteria was a pleasant surprise out of nowhere. I've never been or even heard of it, even…read morethough it's been there for a long time. We met for a family dinner - party of 16. We arrived when they opened at 5p and sat in one of their communal tables. It was a hot day and the AC wasn't up to the challenge. With the oven, the crowd and weather, it was rather warm inside. However, I guess it replicated an authentic dining experience in Italy. The restaurant became packed shortly afterwards and the conversations and laughter echoed vibrantly. It felt like we were in Italy. Our server, Alfred, was a pro and a delight. He took care of us without breaking a sweat and always with a smile. We tried many pizzas, salads and pastas. Everything was delish. What really caught my eye was the ribeye steak, which we didn't try. It's a monster ribeye at a very reasonable price. It looked amazing. I have no doubt I will be scarfing down one of those in the near future. I highly recommend a visit if you haven't been. Go hungry and know the portions are generous.

The meatballs were flavorful, tender, and a great way to kick off dinner. The pork wings, though, just weren't for me I'd pass on those next time. The arugula salad was fresh and balanced, and we paired everything with a couple of IPAs, which hit the spot. For the mains, the Carbonara was rich, creamy, and exactly what you'd expect from a comforting pasta dish. The standout of the night was the Amatriciana pizza easily my favorite. Crispy crust, great flavor, and one of those pizzas you keep reaching back for. Overall, if you're looking for a local Italian spot for a relaxed Sunday family dinner, this place is worth checking out. Good food, cozy atmosphere, and enough highlights to bring us back. Solid 4 stars.

My wife and I really enjoyed the pizza that Coldpizza served up…read more We've been to BLVD MRKT a few times now and we came to redeem our offer from the SGV passport. The staff were nice and explained to us how to order redeem our offer. I believe he might have been the owner. The location can be found inside the food hall. They have plenty of seats and tables inside. TVs are going with sports and good musics is playing on the speakers. The redemption was for a Buy one get one on any size pizza. We opted for the Margarita Pizza with Vegan Cheese and the King Bee Pizza. Our orders were ready within about 10+ minutes. The owner was nice enough to set up and fold the boxes for us so we could enjoy some of the slices there at the food hall. He also gave us plates and packets of cheese and pepper. The presentation and aroma of the pizza pies were amazing. Each pizza comes with 8 slices. The crispiness and airy crust made the bites memorable and packed with texture and flavors. The King Bee for me would be a must try item. The freshness and flavors made this a great pie. My wife's Margarita pizza was delicious. All the ingredients were fresh and the vegan cheese was good. We enjoyed and few and took the rest home. Coldpizza offers some really good pizza and I'm glad we got to try it. I'd recommend coming by BLVD MRKT and trying it for yourself. Thanks, Coldpizza!

My bf and I first learned about this place from the SGV passport…read more Cold Pizza is located inside the Blvd Market Food hall. The SGV passport had a buy one get one free pizza deal so we opt for that. We ordered: Margarita Pizza: Light and simple. Definitely my favorite out of the 2 pizzas. Pepperoni and Mushrooms: We decided to build our own instead of getting a specialty, it was still good. Both of the pizzas weren't too heavy and packed with flavors. The pizza took about 20 mins since it was just the owner working but the wait wasn't too bad. The owner was very friendly and helpful in choosing the pizza.

I've tried numerous dishes here and haven't been disappointed. Their pastas, salads, and lasagna are really good. I could eat the garlic bread all day! They have a robot server that brings the food to your table; then the server hands it too you. Not sure if it creates efficiency, but is novel at the very least. I've been here once for dinner and it wasn't too busy, but most of the time I'm here for lunch. There seems to be a little lunch crowd, but it's never overcrowded and service is never impacted.

Disappointing. Initial impression: more attention needs to…read morebe paid by the staff. The menus were less than pristine, and one had prices crossed off and new prices inserted in pencil. One of the fork/knife/napkin wraps was dirty. The staff itself is slow and taciturn - neutral instead of friendly or welcoming. It's a cavernous space which is quite noisy when very many tables are occupied. Dishes are brought out by a cute robot (which also plays "Happy Birthday") with the staff actually serving the items. Again, the robot was less than pristine. The food was pedestrian. Most of the items did not have a "home made" look or taste. The house sauce was on many things and was unremarkable. Some items were close to inedible: as an example, in an order of chicken parmesan, the chicken was very thin, tough, and stringy, and the coating was overcooked. Interestingly, it was served with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and carrots instead of pasta. In a final negative note, a 3% "Restaurant Management Fee" was added to the bill. None of our party can recall any mention of that before the bill was presented. Not a place we will return to.

I've eyeballed this beautifully nestled restaurant several times over the last few months…read more Time and time again I said "I've really got to check that place out". Well, that time FINALLY came! My sister and I were hanging out reminiscing over our late mother together, on her birthday and decided to get Italian food (her favorite). We both agreed Four Bricks would be THE SPOT! Needless to say, we were so right! We were greeted and sat with no reservation at around 4:30pm, thankfully there was no wait at that time. However, the restaurant quickly filled up. Our server was very attentive but not over bearing. For our appetizer, we chose bruschetta. 12/10 The perfectly dressed tomatoes and basil sat on a pillowy burrata cloud and melted in your mouth. YUMMMM!! I opted for the penne ala vodka, while she chose the bolognese. 10/10 The penne w/vodka sauce had a surprising hint of spice that was decadent and savory. The bolognese had a slightly creamier taste without the spice and was equally as flavorful. Finally, we ordered the lemon butter cake. 10/10 When I tell you this cake was delicious ... woahhh!! It was a nice crisp butter cake but the lemon zest paired with the coulis and fruit gave the perfect balance. We were told the restaurant would be closing and that it was the final day of service. Made us both bummed to hear since the hospitality and true Italian food with homemade pasta was such a delight. Impeccable place overall! Side note: There's a fast food style concept this place operates at also in Whittier, I hope they remain in business so I can get my pizza and panini fix there!

Yooooooooooooooooo! I had NEVER heard of this place before, but my family ended up coming here…read moreafter my uncle's funeral, and honestly, what a great find! We were specifically looking for somewhere with a great price, good food, and a private room where our family could sit together and spend some time after the service. This place checked all the boxes! The Pollo Al Limone was easily one of my favorites. It's chicken breast with capers, shallots, and a lemon sauce, and the chicken was cooked PERFECTLY--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The lemon sauce had that perfect balance of tanginess without overpowering the chicken, and the capers added a nice little salty kick. Definitely a dish I'd order again. The Tortellini Di Ricotta E Spinaci Alla Panna was another favorite at the table. The tortellini was filled with ricotta cheese and paired with mushrooms, spinach, and a creamy sauce. Super comforting and rich without being too heavy, and the combination of the mushrooms and spinach worked really well with the cream sauce. This was one of those dishes where everyone kept taking "just one more bite." We also tried the Rigatoni Bolognese, which came with rigatoni and a meat sauce. The only thing I noticed was that there weren't any protein in the dish. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just something worth mentioning. The service was honestly amazing. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and accommodating, which made a big difference considering we were there with a large family after a funeral. The staff made us feel comfortable and never rushed us, and the private room was a HUGE plus for our group. The restrooms were also clean, which is always something I pay attention to when reviewing a restaurant. As far as the ambiance goes, the private room itself was pretty simple--there wasn't really any music or entertainment playing--but honestly, that worked perfectly for our situation. We were able to sit together, talk, laugh, reminisce, and spend time with each other without having to compete with loud music or a crowded dining room. We basically set the tone ourselves. Overall, I'm really glad my family discovered this place. What started as a restaurant we chose because of the private room and reasonable pricing turned into a surprisingly great meal with some really delicious dishes. The Pollo Al Limone and Tortellini were definitely the standouts for me, and the friendly service made the entire experience even better. Definitely a place I'd consider coming back to, especially for a family gathering or special occasion where having a private space is important. Sometimes the best restaurant discoveries are the ones you never even knew existed!
