C&O Cucina

I've not dined at this exact location, but I've ordered takeout recently! Love the garlic knots, meatballs, lasagna, and fettuccine pollo marsala!! My Go-To Order (each order come with 4pc garlic knots):- Fettuccine Pollo Marsala (sub fettuccine with capellini) and I get gargantuan size!- Lasagna Bolognese The staff is very helpful and friendly at then pick up counter outside! There's some street parking and a valet parking inside. I LOVE C&O!!! I've been a fan for over two decades! I used to frequent their other location down the street before they closed.

Came here with my girlfriend, and we had a great experience! We started with the unlimited garlic knots, which were fresh, warm, and delicious. Then, we shared a Caesar salad--solid, I'd give it a 7.5/10.For the main course, we ordered three different pastas and shared them all. Each one had its own unique flavor and was easily an 8/10 or higher. Everything was well-cooked, flavorful, and satisfying.Service was also on point--our server checked in at just the right moments without being intrusive. Overall, a great spot for a casual and delicious meal. Definitely coming back!

Garlic rolls were 10/10, pastas were 7/10.Everything about the service was fast, fast, fast. We were seated quickly and were served garlic rolls almost as soon as we sat down. Once we ordered, the food came out REALLY fast. I was a little worried about how fast the food came out but the food was good! A bit on the salty side but went great with the garlic knots. We ordered rigatoni al forno and linguini shrimp. The Linguini Shrimp came with a generous amount of shrimp which I appreciated! The rigatoni was a tasty classic. Overall solid spot for delicious carbs.

So we obviously come for the garlic knots which are everything! Our server was so great! I wish I remembered his name but he was an older gentleman and he was super helpful! He suggested this bottle of wine and we loved the Shiraz. We also shared filet medallions and a gnocchi pesto which were both so dang good! Everyone working that day was so kind and on top of everything. It was a quiet Super Bowl evening which was nice and the inside is cozy and clean. We love C&O for all the above!

I saw this place years ago and heard it was famous for the free garlic knots and I've been hooked ever since This place is in a nice location with tons of shops nearby. They do have street parking but also have a parking lot with valet (it was 10 dollars and we parked ourselves in the handicap spot)We were immediately sat and taken care of by such friendly staff Side note- It is open for lunch on the weekends, it's only open for dinner during the week We already knew we wanted the short rib pasta which is amazing. You can also pay extra for their gargantuan size (highly recommend) you can easily share this especially with all the garlic knots you'll be eating. They literally have people walking around just handing them out to everyone. It's basically heaven on earth Our food came out extremely fast even though it was pretty busyWe never had to wait for our waters to be refilled. All the wait staff was on top of itWe did have leftovers and our waiter brought out containers for the pasta and for garlic knots to take homeI feel like we were in and out of here in less than 45 minutes and that's with eating dessert as well (strawberry cheesecake) with how fast everyone wasEverything here is great and 5 stars all around. Whenever I have a group of friends or family that come into town I always take them here P.S - they do take reservations

Mama mia... I thought I already wrote a review for this place, but I guess I wrote one for their location that was in Venice. I liked the location in Venice, because we could take a walk along the beach after dinner.This is also a nice location. I like the amount of outdoor heaters that they had within the outside seating area. Of course, I sat right next to the heater.I always enjoy their complimentary garlic knots. My husband ordered his usual Chicken Parmigiana. I chose to try their Rigatoni Al Forno which had numerous reviews. Our son ordered the Rigatoni Al Forno with sausage. All of us enjoyed what we ordered, and we were too full for dessert. So, I ordered a Tiramisu to go.

A fun spot to come with friends to catch up or celebrate. It's a cute and cozy Italian spot that offers a wide variety of dishes. The dishes are fairly large portion and I end up taking leftovers home. The unlimited garlic knots are always a delight, warm, flavorful, and buttery. The service here is absolutely fantastic. The last time I went, Ian was one of the sweetest and most attentive servers my friend group had. He was helpful with providing advice on what to order and very accommodating. (He even went the extra mile to find us a "vase" to keep our floral bouquet fresh) There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and outdoor has heat lamps for cold nights. They do offer valet parking for $10 and there's limited parking on the street and neighbors around if you don't mind walking.

C & O never disappoints! We arrived for an early dinner and were greeted by a friendly valet attendant. Parking is difficult to find so it's best to just valet for 8.00. We were seated immediately and greeted by a fun and friendly waitress. We started with a glass of wine and the most delicious garlic knots. I always order the eggplant lasagna and it's the best I've ever had. We also ordered the shrimp linguine and it was fantastic. I don't believe there is a dish that isn't delicious here. Portions are alway plenty and enough to share or take home. The dessert menu has something for everyone and we love sharing the Tiramisu. It's not a quiet restaurant by any means, but it's not so loud that you must shout to hear one another. We love it here and highly recommend a stop for lunch or dinner! Cheers!

Staying at LAX and wanting something special before heading to Asia. Found this Italian restaurant on Yelp and ubered there. Best garlic knots ever and they keep them coming fresh. My spouse and I are on GLP1's and shared an appetizer and one entre. The Burata salad was delicious but they obviously kept it in the fridge as the heirloom tomatoes were almost frozen. The gnocchi bolognese with rich meat sauce and mushrooms was outstanding. We paired it with a California Cab and Italian red. Really tasty meal. and a California Cabernet

Ok, so this has been one of my favorite places in Venice Beach for ages. I haven't been in far too long as we live in Texas. We are moving to Washington state so we stayed in VB for a night along the way. We have 3 large, anxious dogs with us so leaving them alone while we go eat wasn't an option. So we had it delivered. It 100% did not disappoint!! My hubs had it for the first time and said, "I get why you've raved about this for so long!". It was SO SO GOOD!! Especially after 9 hours in the car. I hope to visit it again! The garlic knots alone are worth it!
