    Great place for kids and adults. Had a bar and kids games area. The claw game allows kids to win so that nice of the place to do so. Pizza was great. I've been eating Costco pizza lately n finally tasted something good. I o Don't usually go out to eat but this i would recommend to people having kids' sports parties. Not much of a kids bday place tho. The wings are spicier than they look... I coughed when eating the 1st one. Thank you for the accommodations.

    Very mediocre pizza. My husband and I walk around the neighborhood by this location often and the pizza smells great so we finally caved and ordered it. The first thing we noticed is that it is overpriced. We got a create your own pizza, cheese with two toppings (pepperoni and sausage) and that was almost $25 for a small, which is still less expensive than a small of their specialty pizzas. If you look at competitors in the area, $25 is usually a medium or a large, not a small, we also got a side of ranch, $1.50 for a tiny cup, again totally overpriced. For the pizza itself, too much bread, the sauce is average, not enough cheese, but the meat was tasty. In my picture you see veggies and that is because once we got the pizza home, my husband added veggies and re-baked it to make it a little more crispy. If this place was fairly priced I would have it again but the price onto of the mediocrity makes it a no go for our household!

    UPDATE! We came…read moreback about a month later to celebrate Hubbers' birthday, but the experience wasn't the same. I'm guessing since they're coming to a permanent closure, it only makes sense that the quality of the experience (food and service) had began to going down. We were seated immediately, so we were off to a good start. It took a bit of time for Daniel (yep! We got the same server from the last time) to come around and get our orders. It wasn't too bad since the wait gave us the opp to decide on apps and mains, so we got to put all our orders in at once. CALAMARI: Battered thin and crispy. Dash of lemon juice made it better. Quality? Yes. Quantity? Not so much. I thought it was pricey for the amount we got. PEPPERCORN POLPETTINE: Meatballs in cream sauce. Even with the whole peppercorns, the sauce was good. The meatballs, however, didn't taste or look homemade at all. (I recently made frozen meatball soup at home and the meatball's flavor was pretty much similar.) So.. meh... BRUSCHETTA ALLA CHECCA: This was the best app out of the three. Crostini was perfect and the toppings were all perfectly balanced. SPAGHETTI AI NERO DI SEPPIA: Looked great, but lacked flavor. Asked for fresh grated cheese and added black pepper which helped a little, but still missing something... Hubbers got the linguine pesca mare which he loved (he emptied his plate!) So I guess that says a lot. And I'm really glad he liked it, being his birthday and all. He also chose crème brûlée to finish off his birthday treat. (No, they didn't comp it - which is fine, and I don't expect them - or any business - to, even more since they are shutting down. I understand they need all the profit they can get.) Overall a little less stellar than the first visit. I'll admit I was a teenee bit disappointed since we had an amazing experience the first time. All the same, I'm still glad of the experience and wish them well on their future endeavors!

Cheese or a place where the waiter judges your shoes. We had a great waiter- dry, professional, and actually helpful when I was dithering between a few dishes. My kind of service. The food was outstanding, starting with the thick, focaccia-style bread, which could probably ruin your appetite if you weren't careful. Fortunately, I was careful. The eggplant parm was exactly what eggplant parm should be: crisp, flavorful, and decidedly not soggy. Because nobody has ever said, "You know what this eggplant needs? More moisture." I had a pesto corkscrew pasta dish whose actual name I neglected to write down because apparently I've reached the limits of my restaurant-reviewing professionalism. Excellent nonetheless. All accompanied by an Aperol Spritz, because hydration is important. It's also only a couple of blocks off Catalina Ave., close enough to the action without being swallowed by it. Bettolino has become my go-to Italian in the South Bay. I've never been disappointed here, and I have considerable experience being disappointed. Cheers!

    Cheers!!! Came here as a walk-in as we were celebrating a special anniversary with my girlfriend!!!…read moreWe came here after a change of plans but I am so glad we did!!! We parked at one of the parking lots and strolled through the little village area with little shops lined on the sides. I felt a bit weirded out because it was so quiet over here. It felt like there was no one around!!! The stores too were closed I believe and it was about 6pm in the evening. Anyways, once we walked up the steps through the string-lit patio and walked inside, we were surprised at how loud and lively it was inside!!! Definitely different from what it seemed like outside. There was a man playing the piano and singing live, and there was a lot of people relaxed and eating from their seats. We were lucky with an open table so we had no wait and the whole vibe of the place felt very classy and elegant. Big smiles from our waiter, who also was very kind in celebrating our special night. He gave a lot of helpful info on what type of wine we would like to drink and poured our glasses. His service was extremely top notch. The food too was amazing!!! The Braciola di Maiale Tomahawk (essentially a porkchop plate) came with potato, tomatoes and balsamic sauce. One of the main reasons/things I was excited for was the Calamari fritti, which had a spicy tomato sauce on the side but it wasn't too bad. I absolutely loved it!!! It was flavorful, crispy, and with plenty of squid meat. I couldn't get enough! Our server also managed all of his tables expertly and combined with the voice of the guy singing romantic songs, it was a wonderful experience. 10/10 We both agree that we'd love to bring a group of friends here one day!!! Felt very underrated and hidden, yet so intimate!!!

Bad, that you can hear the conversations around you & good because it's easy to chat with a fellow patron, if you want to ask what they're having. The food is divine! This is my favorite date night or celebration restaurant. I don't think I've ever had something there that I didn't love! The antipasti I've had so far: Pollettine, Carpaccio di Manzo, Calamari Fritti, Gnocchi Alla Romana, & the Cozze in Brodo. The Cozze & the Gnocchi are my favorites. The insalatas they have are also yummy, but I've only had a few of them. The Insalata Caprese & the Insalata di Pere E Burrata. The Pere Burrata is my favorite of the two. I haven't tried the Primi or Pizza on their menu. I have eaten many of the Secondi: Apollo Alla Parmigiana, Saltimbocca Alla Romana, Filetto di Manzo, Ossobucco Di Agnello, the Branzino con Carciofi, and the Braciola Di Maiale Tomahawk. My hands down favorite is the Tomahawk. On our most recent visit, my husband and I shared the Tomahawk. As for dessert, I've only tried the Tiramisu & the Chocolate Terrine. I prefer the Chocolate Terrine. The Tiramisu is good, but I think they use too much cocoa on top. I have had it & requested a very light dusting of the cocoa, and it was much better that way, in my opinion. The service is excellent! The servers are always friendly & give excellent insight on their favorite dishes & any specials they are currently offering.

Although the price is up there the portions are usually pretty satisfying. The carbonara always comes out hot and tasty! Even when we order takeout the food is piping hot.

The bread and oil is also a big hit for our family, especially when it comes out warm, and our little one loves it too. Service has consistently been friendly and reliable. Seating inside is somewhat limited, but it rarely feels crowded, so it has never really caused a problem for us.

Not bad, not fantastic. Just basic for dining in or taking out.

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!
