  If you love LA like I love LA, then you will find yourself hitting the reset button and finding old treasures.
  
  I treat food like my favorite sitcoms, I can do the same thing over and over aaaaand over.
  
  Welp, I got super high with the girlfriend and we smoked our way here.
  
  Of course we arrived before our reservation but the staff was so kind in accommodating us. Seated at our location + preference and breadsticks served with the quickness earned this place a heavy prelude to a perfect review.
  
  The food = Fire!

  This place is a favorite of mine. Try not to fill up on the complimentary garlic knots if you can. Its hard to do because they keep coming to your table to fill up the plate with the warm, soft, delicious bread.
  Their portions are pretty big and I usually end up taking leftovers home.
  The food is delicious and the employees have always been friendly and attentive.
  There is a cool little bar in the back and a nice patio outside. Lots of pictures on the wall. This place has a really great atmosphere.
  Family friendly and also great for date nights.
  Parking is never an issue as they have a parking lot which is valet at night. You may get lucky and find street parking in front for free (no meters).

  Endless garlic knots
  
  My girlfriend and I go to C&O and it's mainly for their free, endless garlic knots. Order the marinara on the side and it goes perfectly with the knots.
  
  We got the spaghetti carbonara and the Rigatoni Al Forno. Both pasta dishes have huge portion sizes, you will food coma. The spaghetti carbonara has the classic pancetta and peas mixed with the creamy egg sauce. The rigatoni al forno is covered with cheese and the bolognese sauce. Definitely a place to go whenever you're in Marina Del Rey

  Being Boston natives my husband and I have been really picky about the places we wanted to go for Italian near us also finding a pasta place that didn't cost $30 a plate, I found this spot through yelp and honestly in really glad we went, they have all the classics and all my favorite pasta shapes! I mean yes the decor is cheesy and the music is brutal if your not use to it but this spot is exactly how all the mom and pop shops are back home so we were for it!
  
  Garlic knots come out hot and fresh (free)
  Ate way to many before my entree arrived
  
  Scampi was delicious, shrimp were huge! Why asparagus? Idk maybe its an LA thing.
  
  Gnocchi were perfect lil pillows soaking up all the meat juices from the bolo sauce.
  
  Desserts, my husband loved his tirimasu, i could do without the red velvet.
  
  No dress code so we can literally come here in our graphic Tee's and stuff our faces and thats why I can't wait to return! Not to mention its affordable! And the portions are huge!

  Our server, Darren was on point :)
  
  I will start by saying I am not the biggest Italian food fan, but I do love me a good pasta dish.
  
  After contemplating on where to go for Sunday dinner with my roomie, we finally decided on Italian - the next natural question would be "where?"
  
  As an avid Yelper, I rapidly began my research.  We came across C & O and made a good choice might I had!  I got the rigatoni with sausage and sweet peppers... Yummy, however, I wish there was a bit more sausage and sweet peppers - possibly more sauce, as well?  I'm not too knowledgeable on this cuisine, but will need to try this place again to give a better verdict.
