$14 for a premade sandwich on a stale baguette is crazy…read more I was super excited to try this place. I always passed by it on my walks and finally decided to go in. The sandwich is premade and packed. The baguette was stale and not good. Could've made myself and made it better.

I love this place. When I worked in DTLB this was my goto…read more My favourite is the 3 salad combo plate, literally every salad I have had is fresh and delicious. My usual 3 salaf plate is the mixed greens, caprese, and one of the pasta salads. It comes with a side of garlic bread (toasted french roll brushed with olive oil and rubber with a garlic clove). Friends and fam are mixed on the garlic bread but everyone I have ever taken here loved their salad. The heart attack Jack sandwich is not for the faint of heart, it's big and a lot of food. Save room for the chocolate cake, which you can easily split between two people. Their hot dishes are ok but seriously go for the salads or cold sandwiches.

On our way to a concert, we decided to stop at Modica's, a place I've visited several times over…read morethe years. I ordered ahead, and lucky me--my order was ready for pickup in under 10 minutes. On previous visits, I've sometimes waited closer to 15-20 minutes, so this was a very welcome surprise. I ordered the pastrami sandwich on a roll, and they certainly didn't skimp on the meat. It was generously piled high--exactly how I think a good pastrami sandwich should be served, with so much meat it practically falls out with every bite. The pastrami was flavorful, and the portion was impressive. My husband ordered the beef dip and gave it equally high marks. His sandwich was also generously filled, and he said the beef was delicious. These are seriously substantial sandwiches. We could only manage half of each before the concert, which turned out to be a bonus--the other halves became a very satisfying late-night treat. Modica's delivered where it matters: generous portions, satisfying sandwiches, good flavor, and this time, impressively quick service.

Let me start by saying, I absolutely LOVE Italian food. I've experienced (and eaten my way through,…read moreLol) many different cities in Italy and I've visited many different Italian restaurants across the Los Angeles metro area. This is by far the most authentic Italian restaurant I've come across in LA. The venue is small, yet warm and welcoming. And the ambience is relaxed with romantic lighting; very similar to a restaurant you'd find in Florence, Italy. The food is absolutely SPECTACULAR! I honestly can not rave about it enough. My husband and I ordered: Bruschetta: 5/5 Lasagna: 5/5 Chicken Normondy: 5/5 (AMAZING) Limoncello cake: 5/5 Vanilla Cheesecake w/ raspberry sauce: 5/5 Complimentary bread/salad with meal: unexpected and appreciated 5/5 Lol We didn't explore the wine list because I'm currently pregnant, BUT I'm sure the pairing of these dishes with a proper white/red would have taken these dishes to another level. Servers were awesome! Prompt, polite, and very helpful when navigating the menu (especially the older gentleman, I didn't get his name). I would recommend anyone to check out this place in their leisure! Amazing!!

Amazing!! Just amazing!! I left there thanking my friend for bringing me to this amazing place…read more Literally a hole in the wall, if you blink you'll miss it. The ambiance is amazing, so original so comfortable and welcoming. My first time having Gnocchi and the way the sauce was glistening as it was being served won my heart the flavor was something I've never had in my life, specially when it comes to Italian food. It's the kind of place you want to try a new dish every time you visit. I decided to go again for my MILs birthday, she's loves Olive Garden and has never had real Italian food so I knew it was gonna be a hit, which it was. As for her husband? He hates Olive Garden and any kind of pastas, I recommended the chicken Parmesan, which he ordered. I watched him take his first bite and as soon as he took that bite he looked up and said "WOWWWW this is amazing!!" So yeah go. Go and enjoy your self some authenticity also be patient it's a small place so seating is very very limited for big parties. If you are a party of 2 you'll get seated faster

Phenomenal food, and I'm not even vegan!…read more I'm doing a no-meat fast for October, and finding food I really like has been challenging. This place blew me away. Everything tasted freshly prepared and arrived piping hot (no heat lamp!). Here's what we tried: * Olives, 9/10: I'm not a huge olive fan, but these were delicious, served hot with grilled bread. * Carciofi salad, 9/10: A lighter choice that still delivered on flavor. I'd love to try the Caesar next time. * Risotto, 10/10: Rich, flavorful, and full of garlic, with finely chopped mushrooms. * Gigli, 10/10: The standout for me! If we hadn't been at a vegan restaurant, I wouldn't have known it wasn't meat. I usually don't enjoy tofu or soy, but the seasoning was excellent without being overly salty. Highly recommend. My only question was about the "goat cheese." I wasn't sure what the vegan version was made from and would have liked a little clarification. The restaurant is small, clean, and quaint, with a casual atmosphere. There's a small free parking lot in the back, plus street parking. I honestly can't wait to go back after my fast is over!

Absolutely loved this space!…read more They have a small lot behind their building, otherwise there is street parking. Inside is a well decorated space showcasing their pizza oven and many flyers for the surrounding community. Service was amazing. Everyone is so kind and eager to assist. I got a marzipan latte with pistachio milk, I've never had pistachio milk before and was hesitant at first but delightfully surprised. I will have to come back to try the rest of the menu!

This is for the chicken fried steak plate…read more I came in almost ready to order my usual when I saw they had a chicken fried steak on the board. Well it looks like Margarita was ready to have me up the ante on how crazy good breakfast was here!! I've been disappointed by others but this was awesome. Compared to the best, it was a little bit smaller but had all the taste that I expected. Absolutely amazing crisp to it and the potatoes and eggs were perfect as always. This one was a true pleasure to enjoy. It makes me happy to have something that's kinda far away much closer now.

We sat down and quickly got our orders out. I went with the Fiesta Scramble, while others at the table had items like breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and country style platters. The Fiesta Scramble was delicious, combining bell peppers, tomatoes, meat, and eggs which created a savory and flavor-packed bite. In my opinion, the particular serving seemed smaller portion-wise compared to other items on the menu. My choices of sides included spinach and a plate of hash, while the inclusion of some fruit felt kind of like an afterthought. All in all, egg heaven is a place on Earth, and it's worth a visit.
