"My cousin, who is six months pregnant, and I decided to try a new restaurant together. We ended up at Scardino, an Italian restaurant in Torrance. I usually stick to places like Buca di Beppo or Olive Garden for Italian food, so Scardino was a pleasant surprise. The food felt almost like a homemade Italian meal, but with a price tag to match. I ordered an Italian beer and the lobster ravioli, which was absolutely heavenly. Even though the portion size may seem small, it was surprisingly filling."
