The $12.95 fixed lunch menu drew us inside this Claremont Osteria. We enjoyed sun dried tomato pesto on fresh bread, roasted tomato soup, spinach-black olive-artichoke-hear t salad - and that was just the start. For the main course (remember- this is lunch) I enjoyed angel hair pasta with asparagus and tomato sauce topped with melting slices of smoked mozzerella. My wife chose the ham, salami, and pancetta pizza (8 slices, she had two, I had two, the kids got the rest). For dessert, we dove into Limoncello Truffle Mousse. They even know how to make an
authentic macchiato! Our waiter Mario was knowledgeable and a lot of fun .A great value and excellent service. http://www.manint...

Bakery, others Polly's Pies). It's a down-home, midwest-style, oaisis of comfort. Donna and I happened to be at the Norco restaurant during a pie raffle (yes, a pie raffle!). It was our first visit, so they gave us a free giant cinnamon roll (pictured) which we only sampled because our tummys needed room for their signature potato pancakes and smoked Kilebasa. Reasonable prices. This is a fun "Americana" place to eat.

greatest challenge at the Farmer's Market is deciding among the dozens of walk-up eateries. My boys love Phil's Deli where you'll find authentic New York sandwhiches like Pastrami on Rye (pictured). Donna and Jill love the French Crepe Company. I typically end up at the Gumbo Pot to get an Oyster Po' Boy sandwich. I usually pick up a pie at Dupar's before heading home. Don't miss the best view in LA. On top of the Grove parking lot.
and ended with an amazing deli sandwich (which we enjoyed at sunset overlooking the Pacific). In between we took a virtual trip back to Italy by trying Gelato on the 3rd Street Promenade. Our Mexican feast at Border Grill was topped off with an appearance from owner and celebrity-chef-and-former Two Hot Tamale Susan Feniger. Our tour guide Therese shared abundant food expertise embellised with local Santa Monica
history to make this our newest favorite food tour. Can't wait to try all Taste Food Tours all over the metro area.
Inside, owners and sisters Lyddie and Marnie are simply delightful people that were happy to give us samples of cheeses from all over the world, including Sottocenere (ash-preserved cow cheese from Italy) and Austrailian Boxing Cheddar (sharp!). The shop offers a variety of other cool items including goat cheese caramels. Check out their selection of hard meats and beer (they carry Stone's Double Bastard Ale - saved
me a trip to Escondido!)
ordered the daily special of Roasted Garlic Chicken. Both dishes I would come back for. After, we treated ourselves to a Nepolitan and cuban coffee. Someday it is a dream of mine to visit Cuba, If the food is like this, I will be there a while.

On the way out, owner Lizzie encouraged us to return and try her pastries and baked goods, which she boasted were her specialty.
Lunch prices are reasonable. Friendly and non-assuming place located in the same building as Albertson's at the southwest corner of Monterey and Country Club.
