A diner from Manhattan Beach, CA
Dec 6, 2007
Ate there last night for the first time. I happpened to be there in time for the early bird dinner (4:00-6:00 p.m.) for $12.95. For that price it was a reasonable deal. Included soup or salad - I had salad. A choice of entrees - quite a few choices - I had chicken marsala. Dessert choice of tiramisu or Italian ice cream- I chose tiramisu. Also a beverage - I had a glass of wine. Also comes with garlic bread.
Salad: Mainly just iceberg lettuce - good Italian dressing
Chicken marsala: Somewhat tough chicken. Couldn't taste the marsala wine. But whatever was in the sauce was OK.
Tiramisu: quite good
Garlic bread - Not much butter or garlic - just dry bread.
Wine: Probaly the best part. Quite good considering it was part of the deal.
If this is an indication of the regular priced menu (which looked quite expensive and ala carte), I would not go back except perhaps again for the early bird. The prices were way expensive and the quality (of what I had) was not great.
Service was spotty also. I got my entree before I finished my salad. Took them about 10 minutes to pick up my credit card after I received the bill. At a restaurant that charges these prices, I would expect that they would come by a grate parmesan cheese on the entree. Didn't happen.
Many more much better Italian restaurants in the South Bay area.
