Cal Mare - Italian Restaurant Los Angeles

While the food is pretty good here, it was hard to justify the price. it does have a good ambiance and the staff is great.. I've been to a fair share of high end restaurants and the portions here are even smaller per dollar than most places. it does have a good ambiance and the staff is great.

Italian food, my favorite treat. This place is absolutely one of my favorites. Really nothing but great experiences here, so I will be back.

We tried both of the happy hour pizzas and had a couple of drinks. The pizzas were good and drinks were very solid for the happy hour price, but the service was the slowest it could get - it took 45 min to get our drinks! I did not see the lady at the bar (not sure if she was a bartender) ever making any drinks. Our drinks were finally made by the waiter, 45 min after we ordered them.
Apart from that the experience was nice - good vibe, chic decor, decent food and drinks.

I had the scallops in the shell sitting on a bed of sea salt for sand & seaweed. What a amazing presentation! Fresh from the ocean. The main course was a thin crust pizza which was crispy & chewy from the cheese & aromatic basil topping. With my palete now ready to be drenched & quenched the bartender concocted a elixir of her own special blend.

Nice spot with good food and really good service. Interesting menu. The fish is fresh. The menu might be a little off target for the market. Drinks might should be simpler. Outdoor seating.
