Wow...the Caesar salad gods must be smiling on me this month...two restaurants in the same month with a REAL Caesar salad...not a hint of "white gloppy stuff", no tomatoes, no olives, no boat sized slabs of Romaine lettuce...  A REAL CAESAR SALAD!  Well, it wasn't quite as good at Castagna Cafe's Caesar, but it was good...rating maybe a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10.  BUT IT WAS REALLY A CAESAR!

Nice folks, good food, moderate prices...what's not to like. 

The chicken cooked in cider was excellent...as was the salad caprice.  The "soup du jour" was an excellent white bean seasoned with bay leaves and for $4.95 for a bowl, a good value as well.

The bread was perhaps a little dense for my taste, but that's just a personal foible.

Attitude:  A
Ambiance:  A
Parking:  can be tricky...on the street and Hawthorne Boulevard is BUSY.
Service:  C  Nice waiter, but pretty slow and the place wasn't all that busy.
Value:  A-
