"This review absolutely breaks my heart... ?Let me start by saying if it had not been for Nina, I would 've walked right back out! The new management has turned this place into a very uncomfortable atmosphere. The vibes are off and inconsistent with the place I once fell in love with. And the food fell a bit short of expectations.As a regular customer, I used to feel like this restaurant was my go-to. The food was always delicious, especially the clockwork cocktail and escargot. No one in all of Metro Atlanta made this drink the way they did. As a sommelier in training, I definitely knew the difference. It was literally so good I would drive from Atlanta just for the escargot and clockwork. HOWEVER, now, under this new management (specifically Cloe, although I think she lied about her name as she hesitated and rolled her eyes when I asked her on my way out), things are just inconsistent and unpredictable.Mind you, this is the same person who told me she couldn 't seat me in the corner booth because it was reserved for someone with reservations. I laughed because I can recognize misery when I see it. No big deal. I informed her that I had indeed called and made a reservation and would like to be seated there. Anyone with a toddler/child knows having a little wiggle room for your child to play around in is a lifesaver, especially when they 're Montessori raised.As a forward thinker, I just believe that in the long run, some important improvements can be made for this place to be as successful as it once was. Overall, I just feel like maybe a shift in service personnel is needed, along with a little communication from the previous owners about their menu ingredients. Maybe? I don 't know, I just know that this rude little girl Cloe needs to go. She 's the first impression someone will meet upon walking in, and it 's definitely not a pleasant experience.Thank you, Nina, for being genuine and personable. I am definitely grateful for your presence."

"Our experience at Casa Vicenzo was disappointing. After hearing good reports from others and seeing a better than average rating here on Open Table, I was excited to experience the place. Casa Vicenzo is located in the location of the old Buona Vida on Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach, which after my last visit before the conclusion I had praised never to come back. The location is PRIME and restaurants nearby are usually very good and desirable to visit. My party visited a Monday evening that probably talked at least about how incredibly slow things were this night and why the restaurant offers free corkage on Monday, but for an evening with only 3 or 4 tables of customers the service was only average. I found the menu on the snow-covered side, which is sometimes the case in Pier Avenue restaurants, as they focus on doing less items extremely than in contrast to the restaurants serving pages of dishes served only on average in any way. I ordered the **** that our waiter showed was his favorite. When I heard that, I was encouraged, but after taking my plate, I found a decent pork chop served on garlic potatoes and covered with white severity. The court seemed more southern breakfast than Italian fare. Other ordered seafood pasta dishes that they were displayed well, but no one rave over each of them. To dessert, the table Casa Vicenza's version of Tiramisu, which arrived in a seal glass, but the tasted great and was the highlight of the meal."
