My son was hungry...huge lines outside aroma...he loves pizza, and i always wanted to try caoti - from back when it was on Laurel. Ambiance, Service and Prices are all terrific...homey, friendly and reasonable. Food, however, was lackluster. Chopped salad was a mix of commercial/supermarket quality ingredients. Pizza was too cheesy with a cardboard like crust. Gelato Bar, btw, was stellar - easily the best gelato i've had in LA...pistacchio, chocoate, straciatella, all sorbets were wonderful...terrific service as well. Will return to try an affogato.
