Scardino's Italian Restaurant

The Lasagna was perfect! Just the right amount of meat in their meat sauce, and loads of cheese! I forget our servers name, but he was also top notch! First time trying Scardino's, as well as a Peroni beer (or 3...)! Very, very, good!! Also, please remember to be patient with wait staff if they are short staffed. They are trying their best, and don't need extra stress because you're hungry. Enjoy!!

A bit pricey, but all the dishes were super tasty. My favorite is the mushroom and spinach risotto (i added chicken to it) which has rich cream flavor.

The calamari is amazing. It's not fried, but in a wonderful tomato sauce that makes you want to lick the bowl! The bread is also wonderful, though the degree of toasting varied, some were a little charred, and others were perfect. I had the chicken marsala. Three chicken breasts smothered with a delightful sauce with mushrooms...it was very flavorful. The roasted rosemary potatoes left a bit to be desired in the way of seasoning. The veggies were cooked well and were very complementary to the dish. Here's the rub... as I was cutting into the last chicken breast, I saw that it was raw, and I don't mean a little. It was completely pink inside, with probably no more than a minute cooking on either side. I was appalled! Of course, the waitress saw it and was very apologetic and offered to get something else, which I declined. She notified the manager, who did NOT come to the table but sent a complementary dessert and comped the dish. I was a bit surprised when the manager didn't come to the table. Nice atmosphere, flavorful dishes, but WATCH OUT FOR RAW CHICKEN!!

Catching up with my cousin who is six months pregnant, we decided to hit up a new spot and went to Scardino's Italian Restaurant in Torrance. When it comes to Italian food, I'm use to places like Buca or Olive Garden (I know, I know), so Scardino's was a pleasant surprise. It's almost like having a home cooked Italian meal, but you have to pay for it. I opted for an Italian beer and lobster ravioli. OMG, it's like taking a bite out of heaven. While your plate may look like you barely have anything on it, it's very filling.
