    Spicy Cesar Salad
    Shawn S.

    Was able to make LA Dine Lunch course here the Thursday before it ended. Two of us were seated outside quickly a very hot day but Jame patio seating is still cool out of the sun. For the first course: we got meatballs and Spicy Cesar salad Main course: as Spicy Rigatoni and Tonnarelli cacio e pepe w/ Chicken added to each Dessert: we obviously shared the fresh baked Chocolate chip and Snickerdoodle cookies. Everything was Excellent with perfect texture of both pastas and soft flavorful meatballs. Lunch was extra busy the kitchen was at a perfect pace. This is a great lil corner of El Segundo that I will continue to explore after just randomly finding this!

    Meyer Lemon Pie, Dine LA
    Tasha L.

    In a nutshell: this was one of the most impressive meals I've had in a long while. I don't usually find myself in El Segundo, but I would happily make the drive down just to dine here again. My friends and I were recommended this spot by another friend, and it certainly did not disappoint. We were able to try out their Dine LA menu, and everything about this experience wowed us all. From the moment we arrived, we were immediately greeted by the hostess, who went out of her way to move some reservations around to better seat our party (we had 3 people but were only able to book a reservation for 2). I really appreciated this gesture, as well as the friendly and attentive service we received throughout the evening. We were seated on their beautiful outdoor patio, though it seems like you can't go wrong with either indoor or outdoor seating. Now, onto the FOOD: Caesar Salad: 5/5 Damn, I really wish all Caesar Salads could taste like this. Fresh, crunchy romaine drizzled with a spicy Caesar dressing and topped with toasted breadcrumbs - simple, but done very well. I really liked how tangy the dressing was! Chicken Parm: 5/5 First of all, can we take a moment to appreciate the massive portion? The chicken cutlet was perfectly breaded and fried, and the crispy exterior was nicely contrasted by the velvety, decadent vodka sauce and generous layer of melted cheese. I couldn't finish it all and had to take some of it home, which ended up being a delicious meal the next day. Meyer Lemon Pie: 4/5 I love pie, I love lemons, and I love lemon pie done well. The tartness of the Meyer lemons really shone and cut through the sweetness to create a perfectly balanced dessert. The dollop of whipped cream on top definitely tasted like it was freshly whipped in-house. Although the whipped cream tasted a tad bit salty, I still enjoyed and devoured it all. I just wish the portion were a little bigger since it was so yummy! Parking: There is a small parking lot out front, though it seems to fill up quickly in the evenings/on the weekends. Thankfully, we were able to find street parking pretty easily. My friends and I all raved about our experience here, especially for the $45 Dine LA price tag. I can't wait to come back!

    The "Capellini" 10/10 SO GOOD. Can't help myself anytime I'm in El Segundo, I always make room for this dish. I love all the servers. Gibson is the server I see most. He's friendly, super knowledgeable on the entire menu and gives great recommendations based on your preferences. Beautiful interior hidden in the plaza and is an excellent lunch spot for business, casual or celebratory. I'm always happy to dine here. Thanks for such a great experience every time!

    When I walked into this restaurant, my first thing that I noticed is that it smelled really strange. It smelled like the inside of someone's wet shoe or something. I ended up telling the hostess, and she was immediately concerned and looked into it. Aside from that, it was beautiful, well-decorated, and clean, and I had a great experience. As far as the food, everything was super delicious. I had this bread basket with olives and rosemary almonds, and it was so good. I ate the whole thing, which made it hard to eat my pasta and my salad. Now, the kale salad was one of the best salads I've ever had. It was so fresh and delicious, and they clearly massaged the kale or marinated it or something, because it was easy to chew and didn't scratch my throat like dry kale at some salad places. The pasta was the only vegan option or non-dairy option I could have, and it was pretty good. I would definitely come back.

    We used to avoid eating here because of the noise level during dinner service. One day, by accident, I stumbled upon the time in which to enjoy a low-key, delicious, quiet late lunch where you sit alone in the middle of an empty restaurant: show up at 2-2:15pm. I love this time so much that I brought my husband for a Friday lunch date. We ordered the broccolini, no spice. It does come covered in chili flakes so if you can't eat spice, ask for no spice. It's such a delicious starter dish. The ricotta-like cheese is so tasty and works so well with the broccolini and squeeze of lemon juice (or maybe a white wine vinegar) that's on it. For pasta - though I'm a meat lover, I usually order the mandilli pesto pasta. It's a large, thin, delicate pasta that is layered on itself and covered in a creamy pesto sauce that is so tasty. Hubby had the tagliatelle bolognese which was rich and had the right amount of salt to it. Delicious and classic. We ended our late lunch date with a stop at the new ice cream shop in town, Ginger's. So fun trying out all of the different flavors! Highly recommend the child scoop size for an adult! The lavender flavors are something special.

    Meatballs and Spicy Caesar Salad
    Jennifer G.

    My boyfriend found this place while walking by and so we went back for their Dine LA lunch. What a great find, and the menu was an amazing way to try out different dishes. My favorites were their meatballs and the Tonnarelli. We sat outside on their really nice patio. The inside was full from reservations, and I can see why. High quality food and great service. Will definitely be back.

    Paccheri Lisci and Tagliatelle al Bolognese
    Zoe F.

    Everything about this restaurant was amazing. Our server was wonderful, our food came out fast, and the restaurant was so cute. The food was so yummy, especially the bolognese and the chicken parmesan. The cherry on top was their lemon pie, it was hands down the best lemon pie ive had in my life. I will 100% be coming back!!

    Meatballs + Brussels Sprouts
    Jenn G.

    It is always a pleasure to dine in downtown in El Segundo and I was excited to finally check out Jame Enoteca, which is located right at the heart of area. I was impressed with the clean and modern look of Jane Enoteca from the moment I walked in. Their dishes consist of several handmade pastas, salads and Italian inspired comfort food. My friend and I chose to start our meals with the Meatballs and Brussels Sprouts. Being a Brussels Sprouts fan, I really enjoyed their roasted crispy Brussels sprouts that were tossed in schiaffoni dressing and finished with sesame. Equal in deliciousness were their Meatballs. The Meatballs were tender, rich and saucy. These starters were a great way to kick off our meal here. For our mains, we got their Paccheri Lisci and Tonnarelli. The Paccheri Lisci had a bit of a spicy kick to it. It has spicy pork sausage sugo, fennel, sage and pecorino. It was meaty and flavorful. The Tonnarelli or Cacio e Pepe contrasted nicely with the Paccheri Lisci. This pasta dish was simple, sharp and peppery. This was more bold versus saucy. Last but not least we had some cookies for dessert. I loved the fresh baked snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookies. It was a sweet and perfect ending to the meal here. Overall, I really enjoyed dining at Jame Enoteca. I am now looking forward to trying out their sister restaurant Jame Taqueria down the street.

    Delicious meal, great service! Without a reservation we were seated immediately on a Saturday night. I ordered the spicy rigatoni and loved it! It did have a little kick which you don't always get in a spicy rigatoni but it was perfect. We ordered the Brussels sprouts as an app and loved those as well. Would recommend!

    Jame Enoteca is a gem among the lively restaurant scene on Main St in El Segundo. Italian is not my go-to for dining out mainly because of how many disappointing places there are in Los Angeles, but Jame Enoteca is not your average Italian restaurant. The neighborhood seems to know this as well as the inside dining tables and patio area were packed on a weeknight. However, even without a reservation, we only had to wait about 15 minutes. I loved the contrast of the sweet and spicy almond vinaigrette with the creamy avocado and parm of the kale salad. There were so many tempting pasta options to choose from (including plenty of interesting vegetarian options), but we ultimately decided on the tagliatelle bolognese (made with a mix of both braised pork and beef) and the spicy rigatoni alla vodka (spicy, savory, creamy - absolutely addicting). The hand-rolled pasta was cooked perfectly. Portions were appropriately sized. Prices were higher than average but deserved. Plenty of parking options are available including the adjacent lot, nearby parking garage, and street parking.

    I visited this restaurant yesterday with family during lunch. The food here was very good. The meatballs I had as an appetizer were light, not dense. The sauce was well balanced and wispy. I usually don't like olives, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the olives here. I think it had to do with the fact that these olives were marinated, not brined. I don't like briny stuff. The Tonnarelli was the highlight of the meal. The sauce was thick and creamy, and coated the pasta nicely. The pasta was cooked al dente, making it perfectly firm and chewy. For my drink, I had the Light and Stormy mocktail which had lemon, ginger, lime, and mint in it. It was slightly carbonated and tasted like a really good virgin mojito. I would say the service here was good, not great. It took like 10 minutes for a server to come to us after we were seated to take our order. However, our server was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu items. Parking here was tricky. There were lots of reserved parking spaces on the lot for specific businesses. You may get lucky finding an open parking spot on site, but we had to drive around to find one. This place is a nice spot for family gatherings. I think we will be back soon to try out more items from the menu.

    Came here on a saturday night and it was poppin. We had to wait a bit but got seated outdoors which is pretty nice. I ordered the spicy rigatoni with sausage. It was really flavorful, quite spicy, and big portion. I really enjoyed it and felt like it was authentic pasta, and it made me really full and heavy after. It is quite expensive, but I thought it was worth a try but probably will not return.

    Spicy Rigatoni and Corn Pasta
    Haley G.

    Jame is one of those restaurants that I find myself going to over and over again, and it's always a great experience! The pasta is amazing, the spicy caesar is one that I dream about, and they can make a great martini! Service has been amazing every time we've gone. It's a very busy spot on the weekends and can get a little loud, but their outdoor seating makes that a non issue. I'd recommend a reservation, but the waitlist typically gives you enough time to grab a drink at one of the spots around the corner first!

My brother, who doesn't like to drive shows this restaurant in Manhattan Beach on a Saturday in which there was a volleyball tournament, one of the biggest events in Manhattan Beach the entire year. Needless to say, I will not reduce the rating of the restaurant due to the impossibility of finding a parking spot. I drove around for 45 minutes and my cousin just drove around for over an hour looking for a spot so we can have a 1 o'clock brunch. Setting that aside which is not the fault of the restaurant, the inside of the restaurant is light and airy with a very attentive staff. I ordered the gluten-free penny Pomodoro, which was delicious. My cousins ordered the: Meatball sandwich, Bun, Housemade Beef Meatballs, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Parmesan Italian Cold Cut Hero Torpedo Bun, Salami, Mortadella, Cured Ham, Provolone, Tomato, Red Onion, Arugula Frittata SEV Vegetables & Goat Cheese, Fresh Baguette, Jam, Roasted Potatoes Everybody loved their meal and the manager came to our table to give us some insight on the three Slay restaurants on Manhattan Avenue. My cousins tried the olive oil cake and they gave their approval. If you know a trick for the parking and/or do not go during the Volleyball tournament, you will enjoy the food served at this restaurant.

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!

It was a good meal. I'm not complaining, nor am I raving - met my expectations as the food was served quickly - dishes were good - nothing overpowering or undercooked. And decent portion sizes for DineLA. Especially when you toss in the breadbasket. It's a beautiful space - that I could definitely see myself making a return visit for the Monday all day Happy Hour. There are two TV's (that I saw) so maybe it might be a decent, hidden spot for me to catch a game at. For now, it's on my I really like, but don't love it.

    Wonderful greeting. Seated promptly. Our server, Deon, graciously made us very comfortable…read more Surprised by the carrots and pepperchini appetizer. Great start to the meal! Our entree's were delicious! Their Chianti was priced reasonably and was good. Desert? If you are a fan of spumoni, grab a scoop...even if you're full! The vibe could be more fun if the music was Italian. They play pablum crap. Overall, wonderful meal. Cheers!

    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.

    We started with the house salad which was quite tasty with artichoke hearts. For dinner we had the…read morescallops over mashed potatoes with zucchini and veal piccata with pasta. Bread is not complimentary but we ordered a half order. Overall everything was quite good. The lemon drop cocktail was perfectly balanced, not too sour. Our waitress Victoria was friendly and served us promptly. The " busboys" are top notch. Our water glasses never got below half empty, dirty dishes quickly removed from the table. The restaurant is small but very cozy. With mirrors on the wall it gives a larger impression. A great place to enjoy a great meal.

It was everything I was hoping for. Traveling solo, I sat at the bar. I had a super cool view of the sunset through the front windows. My bartender/waiter was amazing. She made me feel welcome, engaged me right away, and was a bonafied professional who Knows Service. I took her recommendation and ordered the Putanesca with Blackened chicken, and had the pair salad. AMAZING! She went through all of the specials (she knew it cold) but I went with the reco and was blown away. Anyway, I don't write these things often. Trust me - you will enjoy his spot. Ciao, saludos.

    This was my husband and I first visit to Lido di Manhattan, and it definitely won't be our last!…read moreThe food was absolutely delicious, and the entire dining experience exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to our waitress, Haydee, who made the evening even more enjoyable. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful, providing outstanding service from start to finish. She made us feel genuinely welcome and took great care of us throughout the meal. If you're looking for great food paired with exceptional service, I highly recommend Lido di Manhattan. I can't wait to come back and try other items from the menu, as well as experience some Latin dancing

    Both were recommended by the staff and he knew exactly what he was talking about…read more Lido's Famous Spicy Vodka Pasta (9/10): Extremely umami pasta with pancetta (italian bacon) parmesan and a creamy salty and spicy sauce that tasted like the perfect combo of buldak rose sauce and shin ramyeon. Seafood Combo Pasta (9/10): Very fresh pasta that doesn't feel too heavy in the mouth. Sauce is light and it is loaded with protein. Scallops were very tender and shrimps were huge. Paired with lemon and some bread on the side I was dipping the extra bread to soak up the extra sauce when I was done with the noodles. A must-try if you like seafood. Both plates were generous with portions and the bread appetizer was fresh with a garlicky olive oil dip.

    UPDATE! We came…read moreback about a month later to celebrate Hubbers' birthday, but the experience wasn't the same. I'm guessing since they're coming to a permanent closure, it only makes sense that the quality of the experience (food and service) had began to going down. We were seated immediately, so we were off to a good start. It took a bit of time for Daniel (yep! We got the same server from the last time) to come around and get our orders. It wasn't too bad since the wait gave us the opp to decide on apps and mains, so we got to put all our orders in at once. CALAMARI: Battered thin and crispy. Dash of lemon juice made it better. Quality? Yes. Quantity? Not so much. I thought it was pricey for the amount we got. PEPPERCORN POLPETTINE: Meatballs in cream sauce. Even with the whole peppercorns, the sauce was good. The meatballs, however, didn't taste or look homemade at all. (I recently made frozen meatball soup at home and the meatball's flavor was pretty much similar.) So.. meh... BRUSCHETTA ALLA CHECCA: This was the best app out of the three. Crostini was perfect and the toppings were all perfectly balanced. SPAGHETTI AI NERO DI SEPPIA: Looked great, but lacked flavor. Asked for fresh grated cheese and added black pepper which helped a little, but still missing something... Hubbers got the linguine pesca mare which he loved (he emptied his plate!) So I guess that says a lot. And I'm really glad he liked it, being his birthday and all. He also chose crème brûlée to finish off his birthday treat. (No, they didn't comp it - which is fine, and I don't expect them - or any business - to, even more since they are shutting down. I understand they need all the profit they can get.) Overall a little less stellar than the first visit. I'll admit I was a teenee bit disappointed since we had an amazing experience the first time. All the same, I'm still glad of the experience and wish them well on their future endeavors!
