"Excellent experience. We were greeted by, I'm assuming, the owner. He sat us down and advised us of today's special, recommendations and desserts. We ordered the lasagna and the eggplant parmigiana. Lasagna was a little salty for me, but that's subjective. Eggplant however was excellent. Loved the atmosphere- I felt like I wasn't in Torrance when inside the restaurant, much less California. I also noticed what seemed to be regulars of Aliotta, as the owner greeted them by name; always a good sign. The only thing I think that would make the experience stellar is if there was some live music! Some Jazz Standards would've been superb. Overall a fantastic experience, will be returning. Thank you"
