"Did you just lose your phone in the back of an Uber on the way home from LAX? Are you now in need of a place to land face-first into a pile of spaghetti and meatballs? Sunday Gravy in Inglewood has you covered. The environment at this counter-service Italian spot is casual, the comfort foods here feel familiar, and considering the massive portions, Sunday Gravy isn’t too pricey—most of the pasta costs less than $20, and with leftovers could technically count as both lunch and dinner." - jess basser sanders, sylvio martins
"This Inglewood Italian American restaurant is the kind of place that was made for lazy Sunday nights. It feels casual and comforting, like a new-school spot with the bones of an old-school one. That’s probably because the brother and sister team behind Sunday Gravy took over their dad’s pizza joint and gave it a total revamp. Tables are covered in red checkered tablecloths, but the bumping playlist mixes rap and R&B. Order the spaghetti and meatballs and a chicken parm sandwich, or some lasagna with a side of cheesy garlic bread." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore
"For a budget-friendly plate of pasta in a bright room with a solid R&B playlist, head to Sunday Gravy in Inglewood. The heaping plates coming out of the kitchen here are exactly the kind of stuff you'd want for dinner on a lazy Sunday: spaghetti and meatballs, a chicken parm sandwich, and other masterful red sauce classics. Everything is big enough to share and few dishes cost more than $20, including weekend-only specials like white lasagna with creamy spinach and mushrooms." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
"We often catch ourselves daydreaming in the clouds above LAX about Sunday Gravy. There’s usually a slow-motion montage of the old-school Italian spot's thick lasagna layered with creamy ricotta and hearty ragu, gooey mozzarella-topped garlic bread, and the gnocchi e pepe topped with silky cream sauce. If you find yourself in the mood for a heavy meal comprised of handmade pasta in Inglewood, actualize this fantasy and stop by Sunday Gravy after your next flight. You’ll get there in less time than it takes to exit baggage claim, and their walk-in-only dining room is never too packed." - cathy park, brant cox
"Sunday Gravy is a cozy brother-and-sister-owned restaurant on Centinela near South La Brea. It’s exactly as the name suggests: An Italian-American hangout with antipasti, lasagna, meatballs, and a little bit of Los Angeles — think short rib ragu Italian french fries. The restaurant’s Centinela location makes it an easy stop on the way to, or from, SoFi Stadium. For post-show hunger, try one of the larger mains, like the chicken Parm cutlet, paired with one of Los Angeles’s best Caesar salads. Grab a glass of wine from the tight selection, and let any memory of the stadium parking lot slowly dissipate between bites of spaghetti." - Mona Holmes
