C & O Trattoria

<p>C & O Trattoria is on Washington Boulevard near the beach, boardwalk and pier. If you're heading south on the 405, get on Freeway 90 going west until Lincoln, then make a right. Take a left soon after at Washington and you'll eventually see the restaurant on your right, a block from the beach.</p> <p>C & O Trattoria specializes in northern Italian cuisine, with a fun and romantic outdoor courtyard along with indoor seating. Start the meal off with an order of the eatery's killer garlic rolls and a bottle of fine wine; then you can't go wrong ordering an entree such as the Rosemary Chicken, or a pasta dish -- say, the Rigatoni Tomato Cream. True to this family-style restaurant, the portions are so big, you'll do better sharing everything. </p>
