Reviews Lomeli's Italian Restaurant

I had been going to the other Italian restaurant that was located in Torrance on Hawthorne Blvd. for many, many years which by the way closed down for good a few years ago. I wished I had ventured to Lomeli's earlier than I did. The food at Lomeli's surpasses that of the "V...." restaurant. I drove past there several times always saying, "someday I need to try this place", but never did until this year. We started by just ordering take out at first getting their lasagna which is my favorite pasta dish and it is absolutely amazing! Quality ingredients used to make each bite an exquisite experience. Two nights ago my husband and I finally went and dined in on my birthday. We were seated promptly and were given an appetizer of pepperoncinis and carrot sticks with delicious ranch dressing. Of course I ordered my favorite, lasagna, and my husband got the cheese ravioli with meat sauce. My dinner was complimentary because of it being my birthday. I was surprised to find that soup or salad came as part of the meal and along with a glass of wine and dessert! And not just on my meal but my husband's meal as well. What a bargain! The salad wasn't just lettuce like the "V...." restaurant offered, but it had a slice of cheese, pepperoni slices, olives, in short it was an antipasto salad! Yummy, my favorite salad and it was extremely tasty! Dessert was ice cream and it was premium ice cream. I had the cappuccino ice cream with bits of coffee nubs laced throughout. I wished I hadn't eaten as much of my entree as I couldn't finish my dessert which made me sad to leave the last bite behind. The leftover meal could be boxed but not the ice cream. The staff sang "Happy Birthday" and addressed me by name which made it all the more a special occasion. What other restaurant does this? None other than Lomeli's! The service was stellar! We will be dining there more often. My waistline may not like it but my tummy and taste buds will. Bravo Carlo Lomeli, owner of Lomeli's! You're my new favorite restaurant, and like your motto says, "We'll see you again tomorrow!"

First visit while on vacation from South Carolina and well satisfied with delicious food (was hard to choose manicotti with so many choices) and service was awesome. Definitely would come back and recommend anyone reading this, try them yourself and find out why it's highly recommend.

The food was great. The service was awesome. Great place to bring your family. Although the space was small, it was still good Italian food.

Lomeli's also makes the best pink sauce. It is absolutely delicious over their spinach stuffed shells so you get that amazing sauce over that pasta and cheese, and you can say you ate some vegetables. Pasta dishes and combos come with garlic bread. I've never had a bad meal here and always friendly service. I will continue coming back.

Lomeli's is the best Italian Restaurant . I grew up eating Lomelis lots of memories. Glad to have taken my own Family there. We always had a great experience food is delicious!! This little place is a gem and will always have a special place in my heart.
