Il Chianti (Lomita)

By in 17: South Bay

Haven’t been back to this Japanese Italian place for awhile. The once $8-12 lunch sets are now $13-18. Instead of getting the sets, we both got specials from the blackboard. Uni Spaghetti (I just have to get this): so good. The uni is fresh and creamy and not mixed in some cream sauce like some […]

Le Petit Greek (Larchmont)

By in 07: Mid-Wilshire

We lunch at Larchmont Village often but for some reason we never walk inside this popular restaurant. Maybe because the seemingly big and dark interior and those crowded umbrella shades outside doesn’t seem inviting. Turns out it is very roomy and bright enough inside. Gyros $10.95: sliced ground lamb and beef, dressed with tzatziki, onion, […]
