Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Torrance / Carson

Great brunch. Get the Japanese pancake as a dessert for the table.

Went there for a Saturday night date night. The place was crowded but not full. Aside from some rambunctious kids at the table behind us, the noise level was actually pretty tolerable. Wine selection was a little limited as compared to other places but we tried a red blend which was actually pretty good. The menu had a variety of foods from smash burgers to wagyu steak. Their prices were moderate but the food was great! Their fish and chips were the best I've ever had. My girlfriend order the lobster roll which she loved. For dessert we shared the chocolate nocciola which was rich and very chocolatey. Our server was Rachel and she was very attentive and prompt. Parking can be a problem at the Riviera but we got lucky and found a spot right away. We enjoyed this place so much we added it to our rotation...

ALWAYS a FABULOUS experience at Gaetanos! The seasonal specialty drinks were AMAZING! The peppermint espresso martini hit the spot! Chicken parmesan was delicious and the skirt steak was on point. Don’t forget to order the meatball appetizer they are brilliantly served on a bed of ricotta cheese!

Suggestions: Great Cesare salad. I love the linguine con vongole. Also try the octopus appetizer. Don’t waste your money on the cannolis for dessert, try the orange cake!

Great food and vibe! The table was a bit small.
