Vince's Spaghetti Restaurant

I was taken here 2 weeks ago by some friends for dinner. I had the cheese ravioli. It was okay, but I had better Italian food. If you want eat cheap fast Italian food, go here. Otherwise if you're looking for something better, try Pedone's in Redondo Beach or if you are willing to go the extra mile try Gondola Pizza in La Mirada (near Whittier). more

is pretty much the name of the game. Well, actually, there's spaghetti, lasagna and ravioli, plus a sandwich or three, if you want to get technical. This isn't haute cuisine, nor does it make any claims at being anything other than good ol' American-style spaghetti, heavy on the sauce, light on garlic. As long as you understand that, it's actually quite good. Full meals are comprised of vegetable beef soup, lettuce salad drowned in red wine vinegar dressing and entirely serviceable garlic or cheese bread. Meat sauce is better than the tomato sauce and the cost is easy on the pocketbook. While I personally find the lasagna a little too bland, and I've get to investigate the ravioli, it's a reliable, comfortable, immaculately kept establishment which maintains a level of consistency and runs with the practiced ease of people used to doing only a few things, but doing them well. Pros: Reliability, Parking, Lots of good food Cons: , No reservations, Closes early more
