Dinner with co-workers brought me here for the first time five years ago and I was immediately hooked. Both Ivo and Peter Kastellan (father and son owner/operators) treat every guest like family and go the distance to see that everyone in your party enjoys their experience. Their monthly wine dinners are a great way to impress clients. The food arrangements are beautifully presented, unique, perfectly married pairings (I once had some chocolate fettucine that blew me away) and the wait staff keeps your glasses charged with generous portions. Whenever our extended families come to enjoy southern CA, my wife and I always take them to Il Tiramisu at least once. The specials are always great (the stuffed pork chop, Lake Superior white fish and the barca de pesca stand out as some of my favorites). I've also enjoyed many Dodger and Lakers games eating at their bar and solving world problems with Carlos the bartender.
Pros: They treat you like family
Cons: Parking (the valet service is getting better)
