Lomeli's Italian Restaurant is a South Bay favorite. They've been around for generations and the food is still high quality as when i was a kid. The taste of all my favorites has never changed and i still order my favorites. The small restaurant is surprisingly roomy inside with many tables. The service is usually very good, sometimes there's a lag because its packed. The staff are friendly and the owners are really nice. The inside has the look of an Italian bistro and a cozy intimate dining room. There are plenty of parking spots in this strip mall.

This is a rebuttal from a previous review I made on the restaurant. The owners did reach out to me regarding my experience and I felt it was a very sincere apology and response. So I will go back and give them another chance to make it right! I know good Italian food when I eat it and it's just heartbreaking when it's not up to standard! Thanks for the response

I've been going to Lomeli's since I was a kid loved it then loved it now!! I haven't been to Lomeli's in years but I recently attended a party for my god sister and my coworker brought some pizzas OMG!!! He brought a Shrimp Scampi Pizza and the Big Duke Pizza (not on the menu but it should be!!) the BDP has ricotta cheese pepperoni marinara sauce and a tangy sweet honey sauce!!! The pizzas were so bomb I left the party and went straight to Lomeli's and ordered the pizzas for the family!! They loved it as well!!! Lomeli's is a gem in Gardena the service is always top notch and I can't wait to go back!!

Lomeli's is a fan favorite in ufficio, and I'm always happy when someone brings it up for lunch. Their lunch specials are delicious, and laid out Monday through Friday on my behalf, so that minimal thinking or spending is required, while I muddle through another work week. Il lavoro, il lavoro, mama mia, infinito! The staff remembers us, because there's not too much turnaround here, and because it appears to be a family business. I love the front door, it's a bit of a Narnia situation where one moment you're in a shopping plaza in Gardena, California, the next you're in a cozy den with tasty hot food and nice cold beverages. Their combos are a touch more expensive than the lunch specials, but you get two classics! Like what I had yesterday: lasagna and fettuccini Alfredo, so nice. The shrimp scampi pizza is a za I have not forgotten (I took a photo of it), melts in bocca. Their sandwiches are sensibly portioned and delicious, so that I can go on about my day without needing to take a nap first. I've had their eggplant parm and the sausage, both fantastic. I love their little dishes of carrot spears, pepperoncini, and ranch that they bring out before the meal, really whets the appetite. All around fun place with good vibes.

Food is Amoreeee! Chefs kiss. Classic Italian dishes with my favorite cheesy gooey pizza that I legit crave when I think of the cheese pizza from the goofy movie. If you know you know! My other favorite dish is the pink sauce (1/2 Alfredo sauce and 1/2 marinara sauce) spinach ravioli and lasagna. I always get the spumoni 3 flavor ice cream for dessert. Great for a cheat meal or date night with your loved ones. My grandma and dad used to take me here ever since I was a little girl. Sadly it is a little outdated and needs some renovations but it still had that home style feel to it last time I went. It makes me happy and reminds me of my late grandma. There was no wait time either and used to be packed. Hopefully business picks up so this restaurant stays open! I probably had like 1-2 bad waitresses over the many times over been here but besides that they keep really good and friendly workers there that I love! The waitress I had last time was amazing but I didn't catch her name I do remember her cute duck earrings tho! See you next time and thank you so much!

My favorite Italian restaurant in Gardena. Since the one in Brea closed, I drive to Gardena to get my Italian fix. The portions here are huge. Lots of different pasta combinations too. Compare to Buca this place is much better. The decor is outdated but I like it since it gives that extra vibe. Their house wine is good with their meals and most of all the staff members are great. Friendly and welcoming. Come here if you want great Italian food. It's inside a small plaza next to Ralph's so lots of parking!

Came here for the first time last week. The inside is very small and dark lighting. The inside looks outdated and worn. However, the service was great. We were seated right away and our server was very welcoming and willing to answer any questions we had. We ordered the chicken parm, shrimp ravioli, and spaghetti and meatball. Everything was enjoyed and devoured. Italian food isn't my favorite but we enjoyed our meal at Lomeli's.

It was our 1st time trying Lomeli's restaurant and it didn't disappoint!!The food was delicious Our experience was amazing: From walking into the store, being assisted with our selection from the menu, belly laughing at the owner's jokes, to the cashiers being so friendly and making last minute changes to the order, I truly recommend this place for all your catering needs for Italian food The pizzas (Deluxe with pink sauce, Meat Lovers with Alfredo sauce, Shrimp scampi with creamy Italian creamy sauce) were also mouthwatering and the kids couldn't stop raving about it. You definitely get your money's worth by going with Lomeli's!!

First time going to this restaurant and I'm happy to say the food was good, and service was great. The restaurant is small but that's what adds character to it, I won't say it's a hole in the wall like some, but I'll say it a quaint family owned restaurant serving good food. I definitely recommend this restaurant

I heard great things about Lomeli's from a friend who grew up in this area, so I was excited to finally try it! We weren't able to make it to eat here in person, so we ordered through Door Dash to have it delivered. We ordered a mushroom pizza (thin crust) to share and it was absolutely delicious!! It had lots of mushrooms on it, had the perfect amount of cheese and sauce, and is one of the best pizzas I've had. I loved the thin crust. The spaghetti and meatball were also delicious, especially when eating it with the garlic bread. I love Italian food, and Lomeli's is definitely now one of my new favorite restaurants! I can't wait to come back and visit to eat here in the restaurant.
