"Gaetano's is the best Italian restaurant in the South Bay. The food is always excellent. The specials are interesting and delicious. The flavor is so intense you find yourself eating too fast because you want to fill your mouth with the fantastic taste. The squash ravioli is out of this world. The pear and gorgonzola salad is a must. The patio setting outside is quiet, clean, and delightful."

"Fantastic place. The calamari is perfectly battered and tender, and the hint of wine in the mussels really make the appetizer memorable; we had to ask for more bread just for that sauce. Handmade pastas are so delicious. We had lasagna, the bolognese and the strozzapreti. They are flavorful, rich and comforting and you can’t stop smiling as you eat them. All the dishes are prepared with great detail. We also had the pana cotta, tiramisu and cheesecake for dessert. The wait staff are friendly and professional. They would be a top contender if there is such a competition. I have no idea why this place doesn’t have a Michelin star; it should."

"Went to the store to purchase fresh coffee beans. Most of the stock was from two or three weeks ago. They do get a fresh shipment every Wednesday, but the barista would not make the effort to locate the new produce. They preferred to refund me my money instead of opening up a fresh bag since it would ruin the experience for other customers. Said I should coordinate with the manager so I can get fresh coffee. Alfred Peet's would be very disappointed with this response, the refund and a customer having to leave without the fresh coffee they are suppose to be selling. Barista needs to be trained to help customers find the freshes coffee and have the best experience. Manager needs to learn how to order and reduce the coffee stock. The over ordering has coffee that is three weeks old on the floor."

"maya mexican restaurant in the city of wilmington is a nice little place to have authentic Mexican cuisine. we were immediately tall and it was all in Spanish (what my wife, fortunately, speaks fluent, I still learn) and sat immediately. the chips and salsa hit and the heat was exactly right in salsa. my wife and I have both tortas, I have the carnita torta and she got the carne asada torta. the carnita was cooked quite differently than on the east coast, fried and dried, but still very good. 5/5 would be recommended for authentic Mexican foods."

"I knew this place was gonna be good from the outside when I saw their sign, and large parking. Further confirmation was a fairly large waiting area old school pad to write your name down during extended wait times I can tell this place pops on the weekend gets crowded. To Experience the BOOM in ya mouth???you must come to this lovely spot in Lomita. Hot 'N Tot is magically delicious ? ? there is a reason they have been here since 1946 pure bliss! ?? On this visit I had Chilaquiles w/ chile verde, two eggs, with rice beans. This plate was so good I killed the entire plate in like 15 minutes, pure fire ??‍?it was the bomb ? yes I said tge bomb in 2024? it was that good! Wifey went with one of their omelettes she substituted wirh a bananba pancake. The omelette was great but the highlight of her dish was the bandana pancake. Our waitress (Wendy really cool vibes service) brought out this magical pecan syrup, oh my...it was so tasty my wife immediately ask for a to go box, packed up half of her omelette to ensure she had room in her tummy to finish her pancake with that tasty magical ? syrup so good!!! This is a classic diner with great vibes. In this 2024 world of quick casual; it is nice to find this gem offering great tasting dood with fresh ingredients, classic atmosphere, and stellar service ,? they even use old school tickets for your bill, hand writen too...I love everything about this place I 'll definitely be back they just gained 3 new customers for life! I will be coming here as a senior citizen lord willing ? They are open for breakfast lunch only so do not make dinner plans? Frankly, I see why, they have mastered their dishes and you can taste the quality. I observed very closely, these are hard working staff who are dedicated, every dish coming out to everyone 's table looked delicious??? go as soon as you can there is nothing else to say, toodles ? Parking: A very large lot, I can tell they are packed on the weekends. Kid friendliness: Yup, classic diner, plenty of space kid options. Wheelchair accessibility: You will need someone to open the door but it is accessible from their parking lot no curbs or barriers."
