My favorites: Dave's tempeh, Baba's dolmas, Tenerelli's peaches, the gorgeous lettuces immediately next to it, the mushrooms across, and the 3 for $5 avocados (so rich they remind me of egg yolks)
The crepes are worth the long line (especially if you're getting a Nutella crepe). While you wait definitely get a fresh squeezed orange juice or a mint lemonade - refreshing and yummy!!!
Walk, scoot or bike over here and don't even try parking at the Post Office.
For vegetarians, pasta is by far the way to go. The uova da raviolo (ravioli filled with ricotta and egg yolk) is really tasty, especially after it runs and makes a sauce.

Everything
Great new dinning addition to The Music Center. Love that it keeps changing chefs. Decent wine selection as well.
Best caesar in LA, esp when Antonio makes it tableside. Love the purée broth-based, non-dairy soups. Get the veal in their rich yet delicate gorgonzola sauce or salmon. Finish w white choc tartuffo.
The Caesar salad rocks! Serve is very good and the ambiance in very nice!
Great foood and service!
Savory crepes are so memorable, I still dream about them months later. Definitely a favorite spot!

Their Kimchi is some of the best I've ever had... And I lived in Korea.
The combos are an amazing deal and nothing beats the kind, fast and incredible service.
I love to begin with the homemade Tagliatelle Bolognese (sometimes I share) & then the Vitello (Veal) Parmesan is delicious. I bring a bottle of wine ($35 corkage) bc my wine cellar has yummy stuff.
What a decent place! Everything is oh so delish! The steamed clams and mussels are so great. Very juicy! Get it :) And oh, folks who work here are/speak Italian so this place is legit!
What a wonderful place. The patio is my new favorite area to sit and eat this wonderful food. The specials are a good bet.
Romantic restaurant that's cozy and has delicious, simple Italian food. Love the artichoke salad and rigatoni amatriciana!
The veal scallopini & bolognese were delish!
Zagat: 25 “quaint Italian hideaway” “right near the beach” in SM served in a “romantic” candlelit room “seating can be a tight squeeze”, “not too expensive” either.

I love the club sandwich with fries! It's so good! The bartenders and wait staff are the best.
First class staff and our selections were #totsbrillzamaze

Best happy hour on the Westside.
happy hour is the best. try the garlic noodles (you can't go there and not try them!).
Falafel - brilliant! Strong special tastes
Their killer kale salad features complimentary flavors and textures: salty, sweet, sour, nutty, crunchy with great mouthfeel. Satisfying and clean, it plays well with other dishes.

Favorite sushi lunch spot. I believe the dinner crowd is fun and raucous.
No happy hour but the beer is cheap and the sushi is tasty!
