Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles · restaurant
One block from the pier, with the kind of menu — osso buco, frutti di mare, handmade pasta — that's been running since 1984 without an edit. Candlelit and close, it fills fast on weekends. The veal parmigiana and the carbonara are the moves.
Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
