Thus far, Lomeli's provides a good overall experience. I didn't want new fangled decor or fusion Italian cuisine. What I got was a full caraf of Chianti, a generous portion of chicken parm, garlic bread, salad, and pickled peppers and carrots - perfect!!! The familiar aromas immediately transported me to New Jersey and my favorite spot in South Orange. The staff is friendly and extremely accommodating. The food is satisfying. The atmosphere is quaint and family friendly. The constant stream of customers picking up their to-go orders spoke volumes. I look forward to returning soon :-) I simply love that I didn't have to drive far and it wasn't pish posh ... Simply perfect for a person wanting a touch of home style Italian food and vibes.

I have mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, I received phenomenal service and got lots…read moreof food for a reasonable price. On the other hand, the food was disappointing. I ordered Combo # 1 which comes with beef lasagna, ravioli (you can choose between cheese, beef or spinach; I got the cheese), spaghetti with meatballs, and garlic bread. Unfortunately, my entree did not meet my expectations. The lasagna, ravioli, and spaghetti were crammed into one plate and topped with too much sauce. I couldn't even see the lasagna and ravioli. It felt like I was tasting multiple things in each bite. I would have preferred to see and eat each item separately. Additionally, I did not find any of it tasty except maybe the ravioli. And don't get me started on the garlic bread. Suffice to say I've made better at home. For me, a 4-5 star experience starts with great food. As much as I was impressed with the service and value, I can't say that I would be excited to recommend this place since the food was, in my opinion, just okay.

Parking was easy since there is a lot and a garage for additional parking. We both started with the cool as a cucumber mocktail. Very refreshing though a bit sweet for my taste. For our food we opted to get the lunch special which comes with a starter and a main for $26. I opted for the kale salad (half portion) and the Paccheri Lisci (spicy pork sausage sugo, fennel, sage, pecorino) while my friend got the meatballs and TONNARELLI (cacio e pepe). All the food was excellently prepared and very flavorful. kale salad: perfectly dressed and if I wanted something lighter for lunch I'd be perfectly happy having that with the chicken another time Meatballs: I only had a bite but the meat was tender and the tomato sauce that came with it was delicious Paccheri Lisci: pasta was perfectly al dente, had a nice kick of spice, and the sauce was perfectly seasoned. This was my best bite of the meal. TONNARELLI: I had a bite and usually cacio e pepe is not really something I enjoy since I don't particularly care for the gaminess of sheep's cheese but I really enjoyed my tasting of this. I'm sure if you are a fan, this one would hit it out of the park. Service was good overall, food was divine, and I was happy with my overall experience here. If you need a pasta place this is a solid choice!

We waited easily over 20 minutes just for someone to take our order. The appetizer and pasta came out at a good time, but after that, nobody checked on us. We had to wave down employees twice for cheese, pepper, and a water refill. By the time I got the cheese, I was already halfway through my pasta. To top it off, both toilet paper rolls in one of the restrooms were empty, which was surprising for a nice restaurant like this. The one highlight was the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka Pasta, which was delicious! The food was great, but the service was disappointing. I don't normally leave negative reviews, but this experience deserved one. Hopefully, management can improve the service because the food is worth coming back for.

Also the guy that helped me out was so nice, I didn't get his name unfortunately but he was very attentive ! The place was pretty empty but the vibe was very nice.

Grilled chicken, mixed greens, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, & grilled onions. SUPER TASTY! This sandwich was bursting with flavor. Gooey cheese, sautéed shrooms, tender chicken. Their lunch special comes with a beverage (soda, coffee, iced tea ((we forgot to take advantage & ordered water SMH)) Also comes with a choice of soup or salad for an additional $6. Ordered the soup of the day which was a delicious vegetable minestrone. Also, ordered a build your own pasta dish. Started by getting a recommendation from our very helpful & polite server (he was working solo) about their long list of available sauces. We started with the Garlic Butter. (He also was very big on their Pink sauce) Paired it with Fettuccini noodles and perfectly sautéed shrimp. Over or Undercooked shrimp is gross. Ours was perfect. . Another winner (and great leftovers). When we got the bill I noticed the soup was billed for $7.50 vs $6. I asked the waiter about the discrepancy and he said something about a bowl vs a cup that usually comes with the special. I was a little confused as none of that was mentioned when ordering but I accepted it . Without me asking he brought back a new charge slip with the $6. Very nice of him By the time we left two more parties of two arrived. Both with an adult and child. I don't know enough about the Hermosa Beach Monday lunch scene but I'm surprised this spot doesn't have more customers. I'm glad we stopped by and will try to get back for dinner. One more plus (for me). I love old school r&b music and enjoyed all the great tunes!

When I first walked into this place, it immediately reminded me of an East Coast Italian spot and it made my heart a little warm. The massive menu features all different types of pasta, pizza, seafood, steak, desserts, and combos, and I was very much ready to take advantage of one of those combos. I ordered the half & half of lasagna and spaghetti with some meatballs and Italian sausage as well, because why would i not do that? Both the spaghetti and the lasagna were both absolutely delicious, but the highlight was definitely the meatball and Italian sausage, both of which were fantastic. Overall, Scardino's Italian Restaurant is easily one of my favourite Italian spots in the area and certainly a place I'll return to in the future. The food here was delicious, the vibes were good, and the service were solid as well. This place is wonderful.

Their overall pricing for the pastas are great. The staff is very friendly and this place can get very busy during peak meal times. So when it's busy, sometimes the orders will come out a bit slower.
