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!

The management just need to assess the odour inside as it's detrimental to the entire experience. It just smells dirty, like a really damp oily, greasy, carpet next to a dishwashing station.

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.

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.

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!

Not unhappy about it. Just sharing for those who might be wondering why ... Parking is free and easy. In a shopping plaza which was busy towards the anchors, but wide open next to the restaurant. the restaurant is on the street side of the parking lot. Did I mention free? Service was decent. It seemed to only be a few servers and the gentleman whose station my friend and I were seated in, was fine - but seemed a little rushed. Not in a bad way - but I know some might be offended as they might feel like he was trying to turn tables over. I'd have no problems sitting in his section again. DineLA. Opted for the Salad, Spaghetti and Cannoli. Tossed in a Sorrento King which definitely didn't go with the meal but it's what I wanted. I did choose the red wine to go with the meal. 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.

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.

Another small business who understands how to make their customers feel right at home. The first time I tried this place I had their pastrami. I've eaten pastramis many times throughout my life, and I can honestly say that theirs has completely blown everyone else's out of the water. The traditional pastrami fixings are delicious, but OMG, that bread is simply divine, and completes the experience, with me drooling with every bite . Since that first experience i've also tried their submarine sandwich, tuna sandwich, pizza, and house salad. All very delicious, and clearly seasoned and made with care. The portions are great, and the cost for what you're getting is quite reasonable. There's one table indoor, and a couple outside at the sidewalk. I mostly order to-go, but if the indoor table is available, I eat right there. It's a very small facility, but their energy is very inviting. I'll keep coming back whenever I'm in the area. Give them a chance. You'll be glad you did.

It was a bit dark and the tables rather close but I believe this is also very true to the nature of an Italian experience. The service was good. There was a slight miscommunication.

The calamari was fantastic, a sharable portion and it came with three dipping sauces. I was slightly disappointed with my entree because the fettuccine it came with was pretty soft. Maybe because it was under the chicken and it trapped the heat. But the cheese in my meal had great flavor, and the chicken was moist. When we left, they even made sure to catch us outside the building to thank us for coming in. Such kind employees, and we enjoyed our time there.
