    Our friends came into LAX for an overnight stay. We chose Vicini as our restaurant to have dinner with them. It was incredible! Everything from the food we had to our wines and the Ability to have a nice conversation in the somewhat quiet restaurant was superb. The steak that I had was incredible and perfectly done. The others’ pasta dishes were delicious! It is certainly worth a visit if you are in the area and would like authentic Italian food. The ambience was perfect as well. The only drawback is there is limited parking only on the side streets with a meter or after seven in front of the restaurant on the street.

    Nerano is a jewel. A smallish local place with fabulous Italian food. The small pizzas are a perfect starter for friends having dinner together. The linguine with clams was perfect. The small (8 oz.) steak -- while not very Italian -- was wonderful, tender and tasty with mashed potatoes on the side.

    I've always like/loved Toscana. Tori the hostess was most cordial and nice. Oliver the waiter is excellent. I was pleased he remembered me. The chef was, how to say obnoxious. Iwanted a particular pizza-he refused to make it. Oliver reported that he was in a bad mood. I said, "thepolicy is the custoemr is always wroong"...absolutely stupid. We had a pizza with pepperoni instead. it was only ok. My beef carpaccioo was delicious. A new beer, called "Pax Rp,am wasde;icious. I had two. Myguest had the chopped salad. He loved it. Over-all a great experience. The restaurant was very noisy. Much noisier than usual. Therestaurant was very busy. Interesting for a Thursday lunch. Parkingattendant Jorge, remembered me. Always nice when that happens. It is close to hoome and consistently good. I"ll go back for a dinner soon.
