“ Great little spot! The food is always delicious and the outside sitting area is so cute. Service is great, it gets busy but they still keep tabs on all tables! Great catering too! ”
“ One of our go-to Italian spots! This restaurant offers comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great choice for any occasion. We made a reservation and were seated promptly, despite it being a busy spot. The service was top-notch - friendly, courteous, and attentive. Food arrived quickly, and the dishes were delicious as always. The fried calamari is a must-try! Although my Mediterranean Shrimp was a tad too salty, the staff promptly accommodated my request for a remake and even offered a soup while I waited. Overall, a joyful dining experience! ”
“ Our first visit to this Italian restaurant in Torrance, which offers indoor and outdoor seating, was very busy even though it was a Friday dinner and we had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. The restaurant environment is good. Although there are many tables, there is still a certain distance between them, so it is not too cramped. The waiter's service was also very friendly and efficient. Since we didn't know much about the place, we only ordered some common Italian dishes. The ravioli and Italian pizza tasted good, but the chicken breast pasta was a bit ordinary. ”
“ This was our second time dining at Gaetano's. The staff always greeted us warmly and we were quickly seated each time. Appetizer: We ordered calamari. The calamari was served hot and was perfectly cooked very delicious with tarter sauce or cocktail sauce. Main Course: We ordered the Chilean sea bass. The sea bass was absolutely cooked to perfection. It had a nice crispy crust, the texture of the fish was perfectly seasoned and moist. The fish was served on a bed of vegetables which made a perfect combination. The second ordered item was a rich blend of tagliatelle pasta with braised short rib meat in a very tasty tomato pasta sauce. The braised rib meat was very tender and tasty. This meal was very well balanced, The portion was large. Dessert: For dessert we Tiramisu and a Cappuccino. The tiramisu was full of flavor every bite was a pleasure on the palate The cappuccino was bold and full of flavor. Overall we love this gem of a Italian Restaurant. This was our second time here, it won't be our last. ”
