Mitsuwa (Torrance, CA)

Starting this month, the food court in Mitsuwa Del Amo in Torrance is open for outdoor dining! I stopped by to try a few places including Ramen Santouka, Hamada-Ya, and Modo Hawaii! My advice is to come hungry and bring an empty bag to carry home some goodies! 😋 Mitsuwa Marketplace3525 W Carson St Suite […]

Espressamente illy (Las Vegas, NV)

After dinner at Zeffirino, the dinner party decided to skip dessert.  However, my ever-present dessert stomach and sweet-tooth combination PLUS the fact that I ordered only a salad and an appetizer, caused me to eye the Espressamente illy gelato display.  The same real-estate adage applies to this place: location, location, location.
