Besides All Day Baby, I also went to Jame Enoteca for the first time a week ago to try them for the 3 course DineLA dinner for $45, which included a complimentary glass of wine.
I ordered the meatball app, Chicken parm (with Vodka sauce supplement) and the Meyer lemon pie for dessert from the Fall 2021 DineLA menu and chose a complimentary glass of Montepulciano wine . Since Jackson Kalb, the founding chef had trained at the Factory Kitchen, renowned for the Mandilli “Hankerchief” pasta, I tried his version of it as well from the regular a la carte menu (I’ve yet to visit Factory Kitchen).
Uncharacteristically, I’m going to cut my review short ‘cuz I have to deal with my food coma, but will definitely be going back to Jame Enoteca for the $19 weekday prix fixe lunch menu after DineLA ends with a small crew who aren’t picky about ambience — see what others have said in the this thread Jame Enoteca (El Segundo): A Pictorial Essay - #16 by bulavinaka.
I went to JE on a Sunday so it was easy to find free street parking near the strip mall housing it and the laidback and clean streets were pleasant to walk after dinner. Although El Segundo is not the most picturesque with the Chevron refinery nearby, its small town vibe was a refreshing change from what I typically experience in other parts of LA Beach Cities such as Santa Monica and Venice.
PS: I only ate half of the Mandilli pasta and Chicken Parm with Vodka sauce. Soooo good as leftovers the following day - server told me to reheat pasta in microwave for about 90 secs or so. Warmed the chicken parm in the toaster oven.
