The inside looks nice with black and white photo prints and bottles of wine up top. I can see this place as great for happy hour, family meals, and romantic dates. The food took a while to arrive. They have bo kid's menu but can customize the pastas for you. They seem to specialize in Pink Sauce - sort of a tomatoey alfredo. My review is a bit mixed, so 3 stars. Positives: * Caesar salad was presented nicely and was fresh and crispy with big croutons and wedges of cheese. * Wife seems to like the side of jumbo grilled prawns Areas of Improvement * I was happy to see Jidori chicken marsala on the menu. Chicken was soft and moist but the mushroom flavor didn't quite permeate all the way. I'm getting more of that through the roasted potatoes * I got the salmon penne with butter cheese sauce, instead of the pink sauce. In hindsight not the best move since the pasta was a bit bland with insufficient sauce.

There were two gentleman sitting outside with their beer and a few others inside. The dj was starting to set up so I assume something was happening later. We just happened to stop by before the set up. The place is small but cozy. It was a dark and moody vibe but nice. There's a bar along the main wall which why we stopped by. Grabbed a couple of beers and sat outside. It's along a busy street which was nice people watching. Didn't have any food but the menu did look nice. Just from what we experience, it was good. Obviously the beer was a perfect pair to a relaxing night. People watching was great touch too. As the dj was finishing setting up the crowd did start to arrive. I'm not sure how often that happens. So basically, this reviews was a quick pop in and enjoying a beer. Service was nice. Staff were all pretty friendly. Ambience was pretty nice. Next up, dinner.

I have been to Tuning Fork back in 2017 for lunch. A lot has changed since then. Last night my…read morespiritual friend and I decided to go there in the evening around 7pm to listen to some fine jazz/blues music, and have dinner. We shared a Truffled Mushroom Burger, ESW salad, Sangria, and water. The Truffled Mushroom Burger came with Menage aú mushroom, goat cheese, tomato, pickles, imported truffle oil & goddess aioli. The ESW salad came with lots of good, fresh, healthy, vegetables. They are: field greens, avocado, heirloom tomatoes, red onion, corn, grilled asparagus, hothouse cucumber, edamame, crispy tortilla strips, cashews and vinaigrette dressing, I opted for ranch and no cashews. $18.00 for the salad, and there was a price difference by $6.50 in the Truffle burger. They charged me $28.50 for our burger, when on their website it says $22.00. I am not going to dock a star for that, but they need to get the price right. Is it $28.50 or is it $22.00.? Food tasted fresh, healthy, not oily, and not salty. It was pretty good and the portions were fair. Not too big and not too small.Very filling though. Our burger came with shoe strings fries, which was good and they charged an additional$2.00. Sangria was not too strong and had a good kick to it, and it was pretty refreshing. $9.00. Great live music. Bands name was BARRY BIG B. BRENNER. Great musicians and they truly delivered for 2 hours straight. Ambiance was cool, chill, dim lights, interior of the restaurant was wood. Tables/chairs, mirrors on the walls, art work of many different kinds, candles on the tables, a nice bar, cute, small patio outside, clean restroom and last but not least a great service by Vivian and Karla. Vivian had a very good vibe, upbeat energy which what I was looking for.Karla had a sweet smile that was pleasant. It was not crowded at all for a Friday night. So we kind of went with our own pace. They have couple of spots of parking in the back, but I parked on the street. Overall a great experience, a little pricy for my budget. Will return again when I have some $$ in my pocket! Will post photos when I get a minute.

Highly recommend Angelino Trattoria -…read more Two foodies who met in college dined at Angelino Trattoria. The restaurant is tucked away on a corner, and we entered from the back. The trattoria had low lighting and looked like a romantic little Italian villa with Sinatra music lilting in the background. It felt much more a date night place than a business dinner. First, the wine list by the glass had excellent, very interesting and offbeat selections. The bottle selection was really superb. Then, as a starter, we shared a white bean and lobster appetizer. It tasted absolutely amazing ... and a dish that neither of us had tried before. Our very seasoned and polite waiter told us we would enjoy it. Next, he had the lobster ravioli, and I had the salmon. Both were really cooked to perfection and wowed us. Lastly, for dessert, we split this most amazing pistachio gelato that came cut into slices with finely chopped pistachios sprinkled on top and a most delish type of pistachio paste?? inside. Angelo, the owner, stopped by and chatted with us during the meal, and we felt as though we had almost dined in someone's private home with a most amazing meal.

The super Tuscany wine was amazing, the appetizers, (Roman Pruscetta and the Caesar salad) were incredible. The Pastas were also out of this world.

What a crazy number of days, weeks, months we've spent without enjoying the good food and friendly service at this comfy, homestyle Italian eatery with a full bar and even fuller menu of properly prepared, seriously tasty dishes. The room is cheery and bright, while remaining welcoming. Not a sign of anything corporate here -- just homespun hospitality and good vibes from start to finish. Our server, Chris, was attentive and most accommodating, explaining various options to us newbies, and making my wife an offer she couldn't refuse: she was trying to decide between Chicken Parm and Cacio E Pepe, so Chris offered to swap the plain pasta side of the parm with Cacio E Pepe, giving her both dishes in one. Sold. You pretty much never see that kind of thing happening nowadays. And it was a great thing, to be sure. The generous portion of chicken was lightly fried and topped with an equally light tomato sauce that complimented the chicken and cheese rather than overwhelming them. The flavor and texture were spot on, and the robust Cacio E Pepe made for a very nice pairing. Me? I ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, once Chris assured me it was made the traditional way rather than doused in cream as so many places now do. And indeed, the spaghetti was textbook al dente, dressed with with egg yolk and cheese that combined into a richly satisfying sauce. The pancetta brought a touch of salt and plenty of smoky accents, making this about as top notch a version of this dish as you're likely to find in the Valley. Cannoli were sweet and rich; a wonderful palate cleanser at the end of our meal. A Pepperoni Pizza taken to go for our kids at home looked absolutely first rate. Did I mention my martini? Properly made, cool and crisp, and only $15. Quite the bargain for this side of town. Yes, Trattoria Del Sole came as a surprise, but it should be no surprise to anyone reading this that we'll be making this our regular haunt from now-on. I think you should, too.

It was a bit low on Tzatziki sauce though. When I got there it wasn't too crowded, but as the afternoon was approaching it got very busy very fast and the place is not that big, so at the end it felt crowded. I left as the live music was setting up so didn't get to hear them, but they are supposed to be good. The service was ok, but lagged at times. The only think I can complain is the prices. Coming from Miami, I found that $53 for a gyro sandwich with fries, a Greek salad and a tea was waaaay too expensive. Granted, the restaurant is gourmet level and is in Los Angeles, but in Miami it would have been about as good for less than half. I still recommend it though, the food is great and you'll have to decide if it is too expensive for you all things considered.
