Scardino's Italian Restaurant@Torrance ★

 Good Deal for Early Lunch Special. They call it the Early Supper Menu that serves from 11am - 4pm daily. $24.95 for 3 course that includes Soup or Salad w/ Garlic Bread, Entrée, Dessert, and a glass of wine. I had a glass of Chianti. For entrée, I ordered Pesto Fettuccine from dinner menu for extra charge and also added Scallops for extra charge. Love the Housemade Pesto Sauce. The Scallops were just ok. Chicken would probably be better.
