"Long before we collectively lost our minds about Eataly, there was Eatalian Cafe. Located in a giant warehouse in Gardena, Eatalian Cafe is in no way a cafe. It’s a massive Italian food emporium complete with an espresso bar, gelato stand, bakery, and a long, wrap-around pizza bar. If you’re stuck trying to figure out where to go with your six outspoken friends from college and the four shy friends you’ve collected over the years at pilates, head here. Everyone can pretty much get what they want, and you won’t be stuck eating family style with Kyle who keeps shouting at the server in an Italian accent." - brant cox
