North Italia Del Amo 21532 Hawthorne Boulevard, Torrance, CA 90503

"My husband and I decided to have a spontaneous date night in the middle of the week, and this restaurant was the perfect choice. We didn’t have a reservation, but we were seated immediately, Yay! We kicked things off with drinks and an appetizer, and the meatball appetizer was absolutely delicious! It arrived at the perfect temperature, and the flavors were simply delightful. For our main course, we both went with pasta. I chose the braised short rib lumache, which was incredibly tasty. My only minor gripe was that the portion size seemed a bit small, but I might just be a bit greedy! Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the pasta. The service was excellent! We were greeted promptly, and our waiter was attentive throughout the meal. The ambiance was relaxing and had a touch of romance to it, making our evening even more enjoyable."

"Went to go celebrate with family and friends. Food was delicious and delicious. The service was excellent and they had extra help bringing our food. We had drinks and celebrated. I definitely will be back. Shannon was extremely nice and Chas."

"My wife and I go to the El Segundo branch a lot so was looking forward to this opening (closer). Definitely not disappointed :) All the usual favorites and I tried their breakfast short rib hash, delicious! We also got to try a pumpkin cake (?) a la mode? Also good but would have been better if the cake itself was warm. The new porchetta is great!"

"Wow! The apps... the food, the drinks! All 5 stars! Went with the suggested garlic bread for an app and the Sicilian margaritas [yes plural, don't judge] so flavorful! The garlic bread with ricotta is finger linking good. For my meal, tried the bolognese house specialty and so glad I did. Fresh pasta is the key! Will be back!"

"This was our first time eating here, and we were impressed instantly just walking inside. It was bright, clean, and beautiful. We had reservations and were seated right away. They have bread for the table, but you do need to ask for it. We didn't know, so we ordered a small plate. We all got something different. I got the Spaghetti and Meatballs, my mom-in-law got the Spicy Meatball Pizza, and my hubby got the Cesar's Salad with grilled chicken (he was "being good" he said). It did take a bit for the food to come to the table, but it was definitely worth the wait. The manager came by as we were about to leave. She asked how everything was. We told it was great and that it was our first time there. She said that if she knew she would've given us a dessert on the house. She said let them know the next time we come. So keep those things in mind if you go."
