A Few of My Favorite Things

I have linked some of my favorite restaurants on the sidebar, among them:

California Fish Grill: This place is awesome! The prices are soooo reasonable and the food is to die for. They also have the best fish tacos which they sell for 99 cents every Tuesday along with other specials. You can get a big chunk of ahi tuna steak, rice, and french fries for under $10!

C & O Trattoria: Located 2 minutes away from the beach, this Marina Del Rey trattoria is fun, friendly, affordable and oh so yummy. Their garlic rolls are little buttery drops of heaven; the servers burst out in songs throughout dinner time, and their pasta dishes are excellent as well. Such a fun and casual atmosphere, it’s like dining with a big Italian family!

Napa Valley Grille: This restaurant is on the more expensive side, but some of its dishes are so worth it. Word of caution though: Napa Valley Grille is a franchise with different head chefs, and the chefs determines what goes on the menu, resulting in different menus for different locations. The location that I went to (Westwood location) had in particular, two wonderful dishes: 1. filet mignon topped with gorgonzola ravioli and 2. chocolate pear. Yes, that’s CHOCOLATE pear. Imagine a pear, filled with lava-like dark chocolate, floating in a chocolate sauce. It is one of the best desserts I have ever had and I don’t even like pear!

Extraordinary Desserts: This is a great romantic little place with amazing desserts and great coffee. The desserts are beautiful as well as delicious, and their coffees are good enough to drink it black.

Antico Toscono needs no introduction, as I think I’ve blogged enough about it already.
