Gaetano's Happy Hour

This is the second time in 2 weeks that Zohreh and I have taken advantage of the Happy Hour at Gaetano's. All appetizers are 1/2 off, and you get $3 off drinks. 

Their Calamari is good, and so is their Bruschetta, but this time, we ordered the Burrata Caprese and Stuffed Artichoke Hearts for our appetizers. We enjoyed both though the Fried Artichoke Hearts they used to serve took the cake. But you can still get those at Piccini's Italian takeout, which is part of the Gaetano family. 

I have to mention that their homemade bread with olive oil, herbs, and parmesan is outstanding!

 

We ended up ordering a bottle of wine which we also enjoyed. We didn't think the appetizers would fill us, so we ordered the Shrimp Mediterranean Penne, which we loved. I have had it before, and it was just as delicious. It is easy to overcook shrimp, but that is never the case here. 

Our server, Odalis, was a delight. She enjoyed her job and was not there just to make a living. That is sometimes the case, which takes away from the dining experience. 

The nice thing about the Happy Hour at Gaetano's is that they have it every day, Monday through Sunday, from 2pm to 5pm. Gaetano's is located at 2731 Pacific Coast Hwy. in Torrance, California.
