Beachside Italian gem boasting a romantic vibe, exceptional service, and a stellar wine list, perfect for savoring unforgettable dishes al fresco.
"This Italian-American spot has been open for over 40 years, and attracts a loyal crowd of locals on casual date nights working their way through the big wine list. It’s the kind of place where you’ll end up with seven pastas on your table because you can’t make a decision, but the staff here will help you narrow down your order. Whatever you do, make sure you get the fried calamari, the lobster angel hair, and a spot on the front patio." - Brett Keating

"The Bottle In in Hermosa Beach is a South Bay staple for family-style Italian food. So it makes sense that they’ve converted to an entire family style to-go menu, in trays for six-eight people, including chicken marsala, chicken parm with aglio e olio, and rigatoni with chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic-white wine sauce. They’ve also got a great selection of Italian wines for affordable prices. Curbside pick-up available via their website." - Brett Keating
