on Citysearch Oct 05, 2009I've never had a bad experience at C&Os. The food is great (garlic rolls are SO GOOD). Big portions, all pastas are really good. Getting seated is a little confusing sometimes. There's two locations next to each... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 08, 2009We were there with 20 people for a birthday party and we were told we had to order right away and rush thru our dinner. Not very enjoyable. (more)

on Citysearch Jul 08, 2009This place is rude. The make a big deal about large parties. Said they would seat us if we ordered fast. Was practically pushed out the door. Not a good place to go to relax. The food is not so great as well. It's definitely... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 20, 2009Sometimes, you're just in the mood for a nice dinner atmosphere. C&O provides that. It's the perfect place for a warm evening dinner by the beach. Usually, the only thing holding me back from trekking to C&O for... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 28, 2009Hmmm... I think I had the fettuccine last time I was here. I really can't remember because I was busy stuffing my face with the delicious garlic rolls. I think I ate about half a dozen in all! I love this place, and have... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 17, 2009For years, C & O has been the tourist trap that locals can't help but love. Italian singing in the garden patio, glorious toasts of cheap wine, decent food made delicious by the setting. Not having been since before the... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 16, 2008My friends have been raving about this place ("you've got to try the garlic rolls!") so I went with them one day. I love a garlic roll as much as the next person, but these garlic rolls were not good. Stale and... (more)

on Yahoo Oct 10, 2008You can't beat this spot for Italian food on the west side. Good prices - great food - great location - friendly staff. The only downside is that on the weekends you might have to wait for table... although they serve... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 03, 2008Be prepared to jump through some hoops if you have a large party. Parties over 15 people require a pre fixed menu. For around $25 per person (includes tax) they get a choice of 2 pastas, a salad and a chicken breast or 1... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 14, 2008Really cool place that is definitely worth the wait, which you can usually avoid if you call earlier that day. Has a really nice, hole in the wall kind of feel. Definitely offers solid, authentic Italian with jars of... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 01, 2008Where else do the waiters & hosts sing and clink their wine glasses in delight with their patrons swarming the outdoor patio? The trattoria is very festive and fun and the menu offers endless options of traditional... (more)

on Citysearch May 30, 2008Having moved to Los Angeles from the East Coast, I was one that some would call a "food snob". When my new L.A. friends decided that it was time for me to try C & O Trattoria, I was doubtful that the restaurant would meet my... (more)

on Citysearch May 29, 2008Upon first moving to Los Angeles, I was told the best place to find Italian food was at a local place in Marina Del Rey. I drove 40 minutes in crazy traffic to get to this "gem," and brought multiple friends. As we entered... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 30, 2008You feel like you're in a busy Italian city in this place. The wine is charged by how much you drink and the food is amazing. We love to meet firends here, as kids are very welcome. Bring your appetite because you're sure... (more)

on Yahoo Mar 27, 2008Dave H. My family of five went to this resturant on the recommendations I reviewed. We were not disappointed. We had four different dishes, all very adequate portions. The ambiance is excellent. The resturant is... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 25, 2008The ambiance is nice enough. The food palatable. But they really screw you when the bill arrives. They misrepresented the pricing and denied any wrongdoing when challenged. In the end, our party didn't want to... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 21, 2008if you love pasta, not carb-conscious at all, & don't mind putting on a little weight, you should definitely come here. as soon as they seat you, they give you endless garlic rolls, 1st of all. then they wow you w/ their... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 10, 2008C&O Trattoria has the best ambience I have seen in awhile. The restaurant also has amazingly authentic Italian food and really nice and attentive wait staff. Be prepared for a long wait BUT get excited for the wait... (more)
DrStoddart
on Citysearch Mar 09, 2008The owner of the restaurant is Bob (Robert) Singer, and gives a bad name to all the rest of the chosen people by being as cheap as the stereotype preaches...... re-using old food and hounding his staff in all aspects of... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 18, 2008C&O is not on the cutting edge of cuisine. C&O is not fine dining. C&O confuses the hell out of people by having two locations on the same street (0.5 mile apart). C&O doesn't offer anything that the competition... (more)
Citysearch User
on Citysearch Feb 03, 2008Instead of a basket of bread they serve these little, warm garlic rolls that are amazing. If you ask, they'll even bring you a little dish of freshly grated parmesan cheese to dip them in. I could be perfectly happy... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 06, 2007This place has a great ambience and is good for groups, but I don't understand why some people are obsessed. I think Fritto Misto has better food, but again, you can't beat the ambiance here. I love how they give out... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 26, 2007The C&O never fails to give me a great meal and great memory! The staff are wonderful and their style is very original. I feel like i've been teleported to Italy everytime I sit in their outside pation. They painted the... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 23, 2007I miss their mango dessert so I went there for dinner tonight. Food was good but service was terrible. Someone other than our waiter brought out our food and our waiter never stopped by to ask what he can do for us after... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 11, 2007Don't go here if you're looking for good food. It's a nice atmosphere, but besides the garlic rolls the food is terrible. The manager is also very rude. I went there with a few friends for my birthday and I ordered the... (more)

on Citysearch May 14, 2007They have a very cute outdoor patio. The calamari is very good. The chicken parmesagn and the eggplant parmasagn are both really good. The lasagna, however, is not. I would definitely skip it. The pesto here is not the... (more)

on Yahoo Mar 29, 2007Yummy: Gotta love the bread balls. You'd think they would bring out more than a few at a time though :) (more)

on Citysearch Feb 24, 2007Since we live nearby, we've tried to give this place a chance but it seems to disappoint every time. Yes, the garlic rolls are great, and so is the cheesebread at Sizzler but you're not aching to wait in line for an hour to... (more)

on Yahoo Feb 07, 2007Great Breadball: I prefer to go there for brunch-you can skip the overcrowding of the area, and enjoy a good meal and a glass of wine on the patio. (more)
