A Fusion of Italy and Saltwater Beaches

Smack-dab in the middle of Venice Beach, there lies a little Italian restaurant called C&O Trattoria. This place is right next to the beach and has a very nice view of the ocean. My girlfriend and I took a trip to Venice Beach for fun and wanted to explore the food places around there. We then went on yelp and searched "Italian". To our demise, this place has 4 stars with around 1500 reviews; now THAT'S amazing!

When we arrived we were seated right away because the time was 4pm and not many people like to eat dinner in the afternoon. The waiter came up to us and gave a pretty unusual attitude. He was nice but mean at the same time, kind of like your best friend who like to act like an ass but you know is extremely generous. He took our food and drink orders and brought out their "bread and butter", but this place is apparently known for the garlic balls that they give out. These are literally just balls of dough baked to perfection with loads of garlic chunks and butters all over them. Also, we heard that many of their customers like to bring these garlic balls home. Anyways, I ordered a pasta dish with super soft beef short ribs and my girlfriend got the rigatoni with chicken. Both of our dishes were amazing! As we left, the waiter gave us a box of freshly baked garlic balls without us even asking. Overall, the service was excellent and the food was even better. Definitely a good place to eat because after being so full, there's a beach literally at your feet to walk it off.
