i strongly recommend the Il Fornaio at Pasadena or El segundo. this particular one at santa monica wasn't that great. maybe b/c it was the time i went..we went during a weekday at the santa monica location, it wasn't good. the food was cold, service wasnt great.
Pasadena -- moden design, good service, food and desert.
El segundo -- i usually go during the lunch hour (close to where i work) great lunch!
TRY this DESERT! and u will L-O-V-E it!
