Why must you be so far away? This was probably one of the…read morebest Italian meals I've had this year. Fatto a Mano is a tiny Italian takeaway in Redondo Beach. There are only three tables in the restaurant and the wait can be long because all the food is made to order. The staff is extremely friendly and the service is excellent. I ordered in and it took about 35 minutes for everything to come out. And everything was delicious! Every dish was fresh, light, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly cooked. I had to stop myself from licking my plate. They change the menu every two months. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back again soon.

Update: After I posted my review, Marco called my personal number and rudely pressured me to remove…read moreit. This is completely unacceptable and unprofessional behavior from a business owner. Instead of pressuring customers, he should focus on improving the food, which in my opinion is far from authentic Italian cuisine. Zero stars if Yelp allowed it. The word "authentic Italian" is doing all the work here, because the food certainly is not. I operate businesses in the United States and Europe, including Milan, and I am very familiar with both Italian food and restaurant operations. What I was served here looked and tasted like basic boiled pasta drowned in sauce--not carefully prepared Italian cuisine. The salad was roughly chopped lettuce with dressing and cheese thrown on top. The attached photos speak for themselves. I waited nearly an hour for pasta. That is not craftsmanship; it is a restaurant that cannot properly manage its orders. If the business is understaffed or overwhelmed, customers should be warned before their orders are accepted. I also felt sick after eating the pasta and shrimp. I cannot prove what caused it, but I will not ignore that part of my experience. I tried to give this business another chance today and called repeatedly during its posted hours. Nobody answered. Why advertise telephone ordering if customers cannot reach anyone? I also personally witnessed Marco speaking harshly to people helping in the kitchen. It was uncomfortable, upsetting, and completely unprofessional. Being Italian does not automatically make poorly prepared food "authentic." Authenticity comes from quality ingredients, proper technique, consistency, and respect for customers. In my experience, this restaurant delivered none of those things. The food quality, service, wait time, communication, and management were all unacceptable. I would never return and cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for genuine Italian food.

My main gripe about today's visit is that there was only one cashier who was in deep conversation with the customer in front of me. Granted she was assisting the customer with a concern, but I was in a hurry. I could have used the self service checkout, but I had fresh poke which I love from the self serve station. I didn't have the code to get a price ($22.00 for a pint), which is way out of line for the size of the container, but then again they used fresh fish in the poke and not fish that was previously frozen. The store is well stocked and neatly organized. The meat counter and deli service is outstanding. They just need more cashiers at this store, at least one more to accommodate the line.

I remember Hickory Farms having permanent store locations in the malls many years ago. Now, except for holidays like Christmas when they set up temporary stores or kiosks, it sounds like it's pretty much a web-based business only now. While walking through the mall, I see this Hickory Farms kiosk. It's located on the lower level at the escalators, near Joann fabrics & crafts, between JC Penney's and Macy's. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=KrWYhOQc-vFGktGYCLtAhw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=dDTZmA3kC3Bx0-GxNYXklw They offer a variety of gift boxes & baskets with cheeses, beef or turkey summer sausage, salami, etc. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=qS4_Dyu9frmCn5suuGoKiw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=SP5RhYuglVWBGhZbsJAiSQ The staff was friendly and helpful, though not so helpful that she would give be a bag without charging me for it, LOL. Like many things at Christmas, the costs add up quickly. I bought a few things and that checked off the last names on my shopping list, so we worked our way back to the car. Thanks Hickory Farms.

We also bought some tasty mints and some peppermint white chocolate covered pretzel pieces! I will definitely be returning with my husband for more goodies as the holidays draw nearer.

The Hot Pastrami was good and well balanced, an easy choice if you're not sure what else to get, but The Monster was my favorite. Loaded with Cajun turkey, roast beef, avocado, jalapeños, honey mustard and Cajun mayo, there was a lot of flavor packed into every bite. The dark sweet bread pulled everything together and added a nice contrast to the savory fillings. It definitely lived up to the name! The place has a casual, old-school neighborhood deli feel that fits the food perfectly. The portions were generous, and service was friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu.

Their customer service is usually great and friendly. They are very respectful. I can't remember all the sandwiches I've tried but I usually go for the butchers special. It has 3 different meats. I think ham, turkey and roast beef. It's like the whole farm! It's simple but it's good. I never thought the bread made a difference, but I really like the bread they use here. It's simple, soft and easy to eat. Unlike some breakfast where it's a tug of war to tear off a bite. It's not fancy. There's no panini I press, no arugula, aioli or anything like that. It's simple sandwiches how they traditionally made them before we got extra will these fancy ingredients. Great for the picky eater. One of the best sandwich places in town. I'm definitely going back.
