Cabina Italian Kitchen - Culver’s With Gnocchi
26 Feb 2006 in Restaurant Reviews, St. Anthony Village by GarrickWhile the house was being shown tonight, Jen and I tried out Cabina’s Italian Kitchen in the ever maturing Silver Lake Village.
I’m not sure why, I always assume Italian places are going to be Maggiano’s and pricier. Tonight, I was more in the mood for Chipotle than than sit-down Italian.
Cabina’s is closer to Culver’s than Maggiano’s. Both in proximity and in concept - there’s a Culver’s 2 blocks away. Like Culver’s, you order and pay up-front and they bring the food to your table. Like Maggiano’s they have fresh-tasting gnocchi (not in Vodka sauce - blah). The baked penne was bland. As was the cheese bread appetizer. The staff was friendly and anxious to help.
Unfortunately, their helpfulness made their role unclear; they bring food, they clear dishes, do I also order from them?
