I trust the reviews of my comrades on citysearch, that is why I was confident when I started out on my trek from LA to Sherman Oaks for dinner at Il Tiramisu Ristorante & Bar. \r
\r
I am on a meal plan so on a ""cheat day"" when I can have a meal of my choice, I really look forward to it. Today I was craving Italian. After baked chicken and rationed salad dressing, to be honest most anything is good. However.....\r
\r
The starter bread was good. \r
\r
The meal was bland, average. \r
\r
Further, you KNOW when you can make the meal better at home that the drive and the $15.00 for the plate were VERY disappointing. \r
\r
I ordered the Penne. Ingredients: Penne, Broccoli, Sun dried tomatoes and olive oil. A simple classic. Never in my life did I think any one would be able to make this plate poorly. Even California Pizza Kitchen has a similar dish, difference is theirs is good! \r
\r
My hubby-ette had the ravioli w/ lobster. She liked her dinner and said that it was a light version of the dish. \r
\r
We eat out quite often, and we would not return to Il Tiramisu Ristorante & Bar. \r
\r
On a different note, should you want to check it out. Parking was ok, we parked about a block away as we did not see valet parking. \r
Pros: Good Service
Cons: Bad Food
