has anyone heard of... Osteria de Medici? my bro saw a bill for a table of 4 ppl coming up to 1000 dollars, and the owners eat with customers all the time.. Its in kensington behind Julios Baros, and near 'The Verve'

[msommers]

^^^ Yeah on the corner right before memorial heading south on 10st NW. Never eaten there b/c a friend who worked there says tons of bills are over 300+ for 2 people.

There is also another good one on kensington RD and about 26th st NW, right across the street from a gas station. It's cheap and really really good. I forget the name of it though sorry.

Capo Restaurant in Inglewood is by far the best Italian in Town!!! The chef is actually Italian (actually he owned IL Sogno previously to owning this restaurant - that place has never been the same) The pasta is to die for! And the place is cool and hip - no red checkered tablecloths and murals here! I will definitely be back.

Was going to try this yesterday (since I like Il Sogno so much), but they are closed Sundays. Will have to try another day.

I was there again on the weekend, great place but big $$. Lots of folks here don't like it as they find it too snooty. But I've always had great service from the staff and the owner is always around and friendly to me.

I did.

one of my faves.

Carpaccio... awesome.


Osteria is a bit snooty, the food is very good but Italian should make you feel good and comfy, not make you feel like you are surrounded by a bunch of pretentious asses. That is what French restaurants are for!! lol

[liquidboi69]

Rocco the owner for Osteria i heard from my brother is the kindest man in the world. But if u complain about food that is clearly doen right, he'll yell at u right in front of everyoen and kick u out. Thats cuz the money he generates allows him to do taht lol....

There is one place on 17th, cant remember the name, they have the cheap pasta specials on certain nights, SO GOOD! My hands down favorite, and I cant believe no one has mentioned it, is Gnocchi's! Soo good, on 8th and something downtown. !!!! MUST TRY!

[max_boost]

I think you are talking about Chinati's?

Anyway I went to Buon Giorno a couple weeks ago and it was amazing. Some really good Linguine Pescatore. Oh man haha

[pinoyhero]

Why not Italian in strath is too notch imo good food classy service and not cheap but decent Clair prices. A little out of the way for some but worth the trip to give it a try.

Not Chiantis, its not a chain. Small restaurant, north side of 17th, says the specials on the side in white paint, classy.
