Location: Nesconset, New York (Long Island). Type of food: Italian.
This place has a take-out counter, sit-in-and-eat area, as well as a formal dining area. The food is fabulous and the portions are very generous. The bread they bring to your table is a must-try! But don't fill up on it if you want to eat your meal! I've been here several times and tried something new each time; and I must say, everything is always good. Rating: 5 loaves.
This is a list of restaurants my friends and I have eaten at over the years - most of them are located around the Los Angeles area but I've begun to post places in my new locale - New York (mostly Long Island and NYC areas as well as some places in Upstate New York). Some may not be the same anymore but some of them are, so take a chance and a risk. :) If you've been to some of these, feel free to add your own comments. Oh, and ratings are out of 5 loaves. :) Yum-yum! Let's eat!

Gordon Biersch
Location: Old Town Pasadena. Type of food: Assorted popular (we went for steak).
This place is like a brewery. But we didn't try the ale. We just ate the food. :) It wasn't so great. Sylvia had the meat and I had BBQ salmon. I think the salmon was better than the steak. Oh, and get this... they didn't have any more steak sauce! It was only 6 p.m. when we went to eat!! How could this be???? Ah well. Can you guess how many more times we'll be going back there? Price range: $12-30. Rating: 2.5 loaves.

Hide (pronounced Hee-deh) Sushi
Location: West L.A. (on Sawtelle near Olympic). Type of food: Take a wild guess.
This place is always busy and the sushi is really good. We're starting to frequent it a lot more often than we thought. :) Price range: $4 - $7 on average for the sushi, depending.... Rating: 4.5 loaves.

Il Faro
Location: Marina del Rey, California. Type of food: Italian.
Great Italian food. More northern Italian. Everything here is delicious. The ambience is great because it's right by the marina. Service is wonderful. Price range: $10-20. Rating: 5 loaves.

Jerry's Famous Deli
Location: Marina del Rey and Westwood Village. Type of food: Sandwiches.
Someone once told me that this place has the greatest sandwiches. So we tried it out.... Not satisfactory to our tastes. You could probably get better sandwiches elsewhere. Price range: $6-15. Rating: 1 loaf

Joe's Crab Shack
Location: Redondo Beach (They also have other locations.) Type of food: Seafood
Very funky-looking place. Decor is pretty interesting. Pretty good food, but be prepared to wear bibs and be messy if you're gonna eat crab. :) Great place to take people on their birthdays cuz they make the birthday person dress up. Hee hee. Service is good. Price range: $10-40 (depending upon season and seafood). Rating: 3.5 loaves

La Belle Epoque
Location: Los Feliz. Type of food: Assorted Western.
Not a place where I'd go twice. Too expensive for the type of food one gets, and can you imagine that they don't really care that they vacuum while you eat? They have pastries as well, but nothing that I couldn't get at another bakery.... Price range: $5-15. Rating: 1.5 loaves

Lala's
Location: Melrose Avenue. Type of food: Argentinian.
This place used to have great food. Now it's mediocre. For one of the sides, we had mashed potatoes there and it tasted like it was out of the box. Such a disappointment because we really did like this place..... Price range: $10-20. Rating: 1.5 loaves (used to be 4.5)

Le Petit Four
Location: West Hollywood. Type of food: I'll get back to you...don't remember.
Roy Rogers is yummy here. Hee hee. As for the food, it's alright. I don't think it's a place we'll go back to. Price range: $6-20. Rating: 2 loaves

Le Petit Greek
Location: Larchmont (Los Angeles). Type of food: You couldn't guess?
Their food is pretty good. Fun to sit outside sometimes. Parking can be a bit of a pain, but street parking a block or two away in residential areas is always available. Price range: $10-20. Rating: 3.5 loaves.
