Fritto Misto is serving up affordable Italian food on the main drag in Hermosa Beach. We were promptly seated on a Thursday evening and they were kind enough to oblige when my friend's kid asked for the largest booth in the front of the restaurant for just the 3 of us as it was pretty empty inside. Our server was pleasant but he did bring us the check without us asking when we still wanted dessert, and the salads took quite a while to come out with mine coming out 5 minutes before my friend's. The menu is large and you can do everything from creating your own pasta to ordering one of their specialty pastas and they have a section with plenty of vegetarian specialties. I started with the Caes...
While calamari is a common dish in many restaurants, the calamari here is exceptionally fresh and tender, unlike what you might find elsewhere. It is served with tangy tartar sauce and marinara. As someone who eats less meat these days, I opted for the Mediterranean lemon fettuccine with artichokes and mushrooms in a delicious lemon pesto sauce. We were pleasantly surprised by the “kiss” pasta served in a creamy pesto sauce – it was a delightful dish.
Our server, Ashley, was attentive, dedicated, knowledgeable, and friendly. She answered all of my questions and kept a keen eye on our table without us having to request anything. To top off our meal, they treated us to a complimentary lemon b...
Homey local Italian spot with large portions. Came here in a group of four on a Friday around 7:30 and waited about 15-20 min to get a table. Metered street parking only (no private parking). Indoor dining only. Credit cards accepted. Two gender neutral restrooms available behind the hostess stand. They can accommodate large groups. Kid-friendly. They give you complimentary bread with olive oil and basalmic vinegar. I got the chicken Parmesan Hermosa which was huge, and made for great leftovers the following day for lunch. The shrimp gnocchi is also a good call if you like creamy white sauces. For those who are pickier, you can opt to customize your own pasta. The tiramisu “for two” can easi...
must love the friendly service, the second in which they go. puts her in a good mood immediately. the atmosphere was bright, bright, and the other mozens seemed to have all a good time. if the sesam street were an Italian bistro, that would be. we didn't try much of the menu points, and the espresso machine was no longer ordered at that time, so we decided to go with a few snacks. huge cried to her kalamari. crispy, tasteful and only an absolute joy. you know that it's a good dish when you start at the tiny dough mortars that are left behind. the caprese was pretty good. Hard to screw it up, and I like that they used larger basilikum leaves, in contrast to tiny or comminuted. it was easier t...

My partner and I decided to escape from Orange County for the 4th of July and drove to Hermosa Beach. It was bustling with activity! We chose to dine at this restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious. We arrived around 6 PM, and it quickly became crowded. I was really impressed with how timely the food was served, especially given the busy atmosphere. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The portion sizes were generous! I could only finish a third of my meal and had to take the rest to go. It was so tasty. Their tiramisu is a standout—it wasn’t overly sweet and had a delightful espresso flavor.
Trevor, the food and the location; imbue a five star energy and taste into this fine establishment. Lobster ravioli, Trevor’s way, sun with sirloin tips. Remember, the food and vibe are good for late night dates and romantic dinners with friends. I would even dine in solo because of the great service and staff.
The Italian cuisine was just average. I went in expecting more based on various reviews, but it didn't quite live up to those expectations. It wasn't bad; it just didn't stand out as particularly good either.
Very tasty authentic Italian food. We were charging our tesla and stopped here and boy did we get lucky. The bread was superb and the dishes were overall very good.
