    Don’t go there if you take important clients. Even though you made a reservation, you had to wait for 15 or more minutes even though you were told it would be a few minutes.

    If we come here for any other reason, besides the delicious food and crafted cocktails, it’s for Stephanie the bartender. No matter how busy the restaurant and bar are, she always provides service with a smile, greets every customer, and her mixologist skills are exemplary!

    Grew up with and have known the family owners of this great local Torrance Italian restaurant for many years. Gaetano's has only improved over the years, serving a widening spectrum of tasty authentic specialties whether your taste preference is meat, fish, or fish, as well as superb Pizzas, while further providing an intimate environment offering both Indoor and outdoor seating. A great place to gather and Special Kudos to our server Anthony, who also deserves 5 stars for his timely and outstanding attention to detail throughout our dinner this week. Len Fein 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    The food and setting was great, but the service was a let down. I understand it’s busy though we had waited quite a while for a next drink and did not receive that until after we had finished our food. The server had also splashed lasagna sauce as he pushed the leftover onto the box on my spouse.
