Pasta is hot and fresh, nice seasoned that you can taste all the spice harmonized in the rich sauce. Love their free and all you can eat garlic rolls too, they are sooooooo delicious ?
We visited this restaurant two nights ago and we are still very happy that we did. We were there based on a recommendation from our daughter who was with us. Mark was our server and he was absolutely a great representative for this establishment and he provided super service and matter of fact recommendations for deciding what to have for dinner. The restaurant provides these very addictive dinner rolls before the main meal comes out. Go easy on these because you could eat too many. We all ordered something different so as to sample the many offerings. Everything was great and the atmosphere was lively. Great place to take family. Very Italian like.Please enjoy.
Visited many times...local gem.. will cook to order. .unlimited garlic rolls... always busy is a good sign.
Came for the garlic rolls and was not at all disappointed in that department. The endless rolls and quick service to replenish your plate were great! The dishes themselves were pretty good, though not the best (I found the rigatoni to be a bit on the cheesy side and the mozzarella sticks were alright).My main gripe, however, comes with the parking service. I pulled into the lot seeing only the sign indicating "C&O Cucina Parking" and not realizing this was a valet service. Once I realized that, I asked the attendant whether parking was free, and he informed me that it was. I was pleasantly surprised (and asked again to confirm) and deposited my keys and went off to enjoy my evening. However, upon returning to pick up my car after the meal, I was greeted by attendants laughing at me for thinking that the parking could be free and demanding that I pay the $8 fee. When I described my interaction at entry into the lot, they simply directed me to a small sign that indicated the parking fee that was difficult to see and out of the way. At this point, the staff became rude and I, faced with a growing line of cars waiting to exit, gave in, paid, and left.While the issue was small in the grand scheme of things, this could have been easily remedied had the initial attendant informed me of the fee correctly or the sign had been more prominently posted (so that it was visible prior to actually entering the parking lot and stepping out of your vehicle). In any case, this left a sour taste in my mouth and I'm unsure of my desire to return or recommend the place to friends.
I love an endless garlic knot situation! They just kept refilling and I hear kept eating The bread was ok it just got really hard after a few minutes - I think it’s because they reheat them by frying in oil?The fried calamari was mid - nothing of extreme concern. I had the pesto but it was kinda salty and not a great pesto. I didn’t get the taste of creaminess that pestos usually got from toasted pine nuts.
I enjoyed the pasta at this place. I got the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken, and it was pretty plentiful and filling! I dunno if it was anything that made it stand out from others Fettuccine Alfredo I've had, but still, very good sauce and fettuccine. I also samples the seafood variant (I think it was a daily special), and actually liked that even more (it has salmon and shrimp, I believe). Oddly enough, I think my favorite thing here were the garlic rolls, which they give an unlimited supply of. I think my party just kept downing those, which was pretty funny. But hey, they were pretty good! I think the only word part was that the first batch of rolls we got, were a little cold, but our subsequent batch seemed fresh (and therefore, tasted even better).I had the calamari fritti, too, which was decent, but may have been my least memorable dish from this meal. Not to say it was bad, of course, but I think I just ordered the other dishes more.
We visited this restaurant the first night of our ten night stay in LA purely because it was the nearest to our hotel and wanted something within easy reach: this was a brilliant find. Had the meat balls and spaghetti and while waiting our order were ably provided with the most tasty endless supply of dough balls. Food and service couldn't be faulted - so much so that we returned next night to carb load for the following days triathlon event!
Very nice Italian restaurant. food was good but I’ve had better Italian. The chicken parm was on the tough side and the calamari was over fried. However, the service was excellent! also, The parking was on the difficult side.
Our waitress was amazing, fast, friendly, and incredibly sweet. But for an excellent bread and butter, she is the reason for all 3 stars. I had the burger and my husband had the chicken slice salad. Huge portions don't make up for incredibly bad food. Everything was rather tasteless, absolutely unappetizing. Well, we went one day to see what this attraction was all about. Done and done - we won't be back.
Excellent service and Italian food. The garlic knots were fantastic
