GAETANO'S RESTAURANT REVIEWS

One of our go-to Italian spots! This restaurant offers comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great choice for any occasion. We made a reservation and were seated promptly, despite it being a busy spot. The service was top-notch - friendly, courteous, and attentive. Food arrived quickly, and the dishes were delicious as always. The fried calamari is a must-try! Although my Mediterranean Shrimp was a tad too salty, the staff promptly accommodated my request for a remake and even offered a soup while I waited. Overall, a joyful dining experience.

It was a great meeting place to see great friends. I was delightfully surprised to be invited to eat here. The parking was fine. The food and service were great. The lunchtime meals were well designed for variety and were all well-apportioned. It tasted and looked all fresh. From the warm bread and olive oil starter to each salad, pasta, sandwich, etc. If I lived in this area, it would be a staple place to eat. Otherwise, make it treat and head on over, You’ll enjoy it!.

Excellent service. Really good food. Nice clean place. Didn't really like how small the table was especially when you're ordering many plates, felt very cramped. But the food was quality and came out promptly. Our waitress was awesome and very friendly. Definitely coming back.

OLIVE GARDEN ITALIAN RESTAURANT TORRANCE REVIEWS

My husband and I just had dinner at Olive Garden in Torrance, CA. Sara B. was our server and she could not have been sweeter or more attentive. My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs and I ordered fettuccine with shrimp. Both entrees were delicious and the portions were large enough for us to take home leftovers. My husband had salad and I had minestrone soup to go along with our meals and, of course, there were plenty of bread sticks. We shared a tiramisu for dessert. The atmosphere was very nice. It was a peaceful, relaxing and welcoming dining experience.

I always like their food even though I am not fan of pasta and carbs in general, but they have really anti-pasta dishes as well. I love the portions, the size of a dish you get for your money. I rated them poorly on the atmosphere because I think is too many tables at that restaurant. Overall is a great option.

Olivia Garden Italian Restaurant is a must-visit for food lovers seeking authentic Italian cuisine. The extraordinary service and delightful ambiance create a truly memorable dining experience. I was thoroughly impressed by the restaurant's design and the quality of service during my visit to Los Angeles. I highly recommend this restaurant to friends and familyThey are really good.

SCARDINO'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Cozy, friendly environment. Service was attentive and kind, and the food was absolutely outstanding. I got the chicken cacciatore, which had a complex and distinct flavor different from the meat sauce that I got on the side of spaghetti, which was also very good. Even though I was full, it was so good, I wanted to eat everything they made.

Cozy place for your italian fixing and relaxing evening enjoying food and company. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and mushrooms. I would also recommend the lobster ravioli to try. Did have a decent wine selection to choose from.

Cozy, small Italian restaurant with a flavorful chicken piccatta. The lemon sauce complimented the capers above the entree. The added side salad was a good size. House garlic bread was fair. The table mats, posters and music added to the comfortable atmosphere table.
