Our entree's were delicious! Their Chianti was priced reasonably and was good. Desert? If you are a fan of spumoni, grab a scoop...even if you're full!

I really, really wanted to like Lomeli's Italian Restaurant. I had tried their food years ago when…read morethey catered for a lunch at my workplace. Fast forward and I came here for lunch with my mom. We ordered the Minestrone Soup and Combo 1 which comes with Beef Lasagna, Beef Ravioli and Spaghetti with Meatball. The Minestrone was nice and comforting and I enjoyed the crisp garlic bread. I thought the lasagna, ravioli and spaghetti were tasty as well. Unfortunately, that evening I started feeling very ill. I could barely keep any food down and became quite weak. Based of my symptoms, I had food poisoning. The only food I had eaten that day was from Lomeli's. I normally hate giving a restaurant one star, especially when I initially enjoyed the food. However, becoming so sick afterward significantly affected my overall experience, and ultimately influenced my rating.

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

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.

I've passed by North Italia plenty of times over the years but never actually tried it. We had…read moresomething to celebrate, so I decided to finally give it a shot, and I'm glad we ate here. I started with the s'more please cocktail, which reminded me of an old fashion with toasted marshmallows. I'm already a fan of old fashion, so I enjoyed the drink itself. Honestly, I don't think the marshmallows added much, but I definitely enjoyed eating them. We shared about 5-6 dishes. The White Truffle Garlic Bread was amazing--super soft, flavorful, and not overpowering. The Yellowtail Crudo was one of my favorites. The fish had great texture and quality, and all the salty, citrusy, creamy elements worked really well together. For the mains, the Seared Scallops with sweet corn risotto were a standout. The scallops were seared perfectly with great texture. The Braised Short Rib Lumache was also delicious, although the beef was a little richer than I personally prefer. We also had the Roasted Salmon with fregola and broccolini, which was cooked well and nicely balanced. Our server was amazing--attentive, helpful, and provided great service throughout the night. Overall, it was a great celebration dinner and an excellent first experience at North Italia. I'd definitely come back.

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

When the opportunity to try the pizza arrived, we had a very large group of people to feed. We went to MidiCi's early and let them know our plan. Preston, who was working behind the counter and he was also the person who originally told us about the restaurant when we were at the hotel bar a couple nights earlier. Not only was he able have appetizers that we pre-ordered out to the hotel bar area for everyone's arrival, but everyone's pizza was made special to order and spot on. If you're looking for a great pizza experience in the Hawthorne area, I would greatly recommend MidiCi. Preston and all the rest of the crew there were amazing, and will not disappoint.

Stopped in for lunch on a Monday. Was surprised to see that there was only one other party of two…read more Tried one of their lunch special paninis, the Peralta's Pollo. Grilled chicken, mixed greens, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, & grilled onions. SUPER TASTY! This sandwich was bursting with flavor. Gooey cheese, sautéed shrooms, tender chicken. Their lunch special comes with a beverage (soda, coffee, iced tea ((we forgot to take advantage & ordered water SMH)) Also comes with a choice of soup or salad for an additional $6. Ordered the soup of the day which was a delicious vegetable minestrone. Also, ordered a build your own pasta dish. Started by getting a recommendation from our very helpful & polite server (he was working solo) about their long list of available sauces. We started with the Garlic Butter. (He also was very big on their Pink sauce) Paired it with Fettuccini noodles and perfectly sautéed shrimp. Over or Undercooked shrimp is gross. Ours was perfect. . Another winner (and great leftovers). When we got the bill I noticed the soup was billed for $7.50 vs $6. I asked the waiter about the discrepancy and he said something about a bowl vs a cup that usually comes with the special. I was a little confused as none of that was mentioned when ordering but I accepted it . Without me asking he brought back a new charge slip with the $6. Very nice of him By the time we left two more parties of two arrived. Both with an adult and child. I don't know enough about the Hermosa Beach Monday lunch scene but I'm surprised this spot doesn't have more customers. I'm glad we stopped by and will try to get back for dinner. One more plus (for me). I love old school r&b music and enjoyed all the great tunes!

The meats tasted fresh, the bread was soft, and the staff was super friendly.

There's limited outdoor seating, but it's right next to a busy street, so it can get pretty loud. Parking can also be a little difficult.

The décor has a warm, rustic charm that immediately made us feel comfortable. The staff was outstanding from start to finish. Courteous, friendly, and very attentive without being overbearing. For our appetizer, we ordered the Burrata & Fig (I forgot to take a picture!). It was the perfect size for two people to share and was beautifully presented on a wooden board with fresh bread, arugula, creamy burrata, and a delicious fig spread. Every bite was fantastic. For our entrées, I ordered the pepperoni pizza and added extra pepperoni and extra cheese since I'm a huge fan of both. My husband had the Al Pesto with chicken. Both dishes were exceptional and packed with flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and everything tasted fresh. The portions were very generous, we couldn't finish our meals and happily took the leftovers home. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying dessert! I ordered the Chocolate Grande Cake, and my husband got the Chocolate Carrot Cake. Even though we were stuffed, we took them to go, and I'm so glad we did. They were incredibly rich, moist, and delicious. We were definitely in chocolate heaven! Our bill came to about $120 before tip, which included the appetizer, two entrées, and two desserts. Considering the generous portions, excellent service, and overall quality of the food, I thought it was well worth it. From the food and service to the atmosphere, Bossa Nova Brazilian Cuisine exceeded our expectations. We were so impressed that we'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. If you're looking for a cozy restaurant with delicious food, generous portions, and outstanding service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It definitely deserves all 5 stars!

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 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.
