"If you love kitschy birthday dinners, prepare for a heavy dose at Guido’s. The old-school Italian spot in West LA that’s been around since the '70s sports a retro dark wood dining room, cherry-colored leather booths, and a dramatic fireplace that’s definitely held a bubbling cauldron before. It’s like eating dinner at the Winchester Mystery House. And don’t worry, the food is good enough to please your friends who don’t spend their weekends at estate sales, too. Start with the Guido’s salad (their take on a chopped), then an order of the Spaghetti Casa with shrimp in vodka sauce and the towering chocolate-drizzled tiramisu that’s large enough to split with the table." - brant cox
