Message: | Anna's is a regular stop on our local list of close and easy to get into places. I concur with your side dish diss, but if you go enough you learn what works and what doesn't. My wife likes the tagliatelli pasta chiati verde (sp?). My son likes the rigatoni bologenese (sp?) and I am fond of a couple of their pizza's, the Yaneeze Special, (which is meatless, with blue, parmigiana and mozarella cheese and onions), and a combo with meatballs, sausage and double mushrooms. They do a very nice blue cheese dressing for their salads, if you like it with plenty of olive oil and a ton of very sharp crumbled blue cheese. We also like their garlic bread a lot. We always ask to sit in Jose's section. He has to be one of the nicest, most professional and helpful waiters in LA. Gourmet dining, no. A comfortable booth along with a friendly neighborhood restaurant with some good choices, yes. |
