Old-school Italian steakhouse with live jazz, red booths, & red sauce
"This dimly lit, throwback Italian steakhouse hosts Maia as a lunch meeting destination with her sleazy ex-mentor, who eats a ketchup-drenched french fry in possibly the least attractive way ever (seems to somehow work for Maia, though). The tense sexual vibe between them ultimately comes somewhat to fruition in the finale. Unsurprisingly, Maia has to do all the manual labor." - Eater Staff
"Colombo’s has the feel of a crusty highway lounge you'd stop at during a road trip across the country, and we mean that in the most charming sense possible. This Eagle Rock classic is a place where complimentary garlic bread hits the table before your butt touches the booth and everyone hunched at the bar has a great story involving Gene Simmons. The correct order here goes like this: “Sam’s Hand-Rolled” Meat Lasagna, a perfectly breaded chicken parmesan, and exactly one martini. Any more gin than that, and you’ll probably be waking up somewhere off the interstate—with a good story, no doubt." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder

"This classic Italian spot in Eagle Rock can be broken into two distinct sections: a dining room with grouchy married couples eating rolled lasagna and complementary garlic bread, and the bar area that looks like a highway lounge somewhere off the 5. If you want to drink a well-stirred cup of gin and shoot the sh*t with a crusty regular, head to the latter. That’s where you’ll meet retired key grips grumbling about kids on skateboards and another person who swears they had sex with Slash in 1987. People-watching isn't the correct terminology at a place like Colombo’s. It’s people memorizing." - brant cox
"“I’m not trying to sound like an alcoholic here, but another great pour of a cocktail. I’m a martini person, but I love their manhattan as well. It’s a place where once you figure out your order, you’re good to go. Their fried mozzarella is really good, I love the sausage dish, and I’ve only recently ventured into the steaks, but I love them, too. Oh, and the [complementary] garlic bread is great. You gotta appreciate the free thing.”" - brant cox
