Tulipano Description:
This family-operated mini-mall eatery is decked out in dated aqua and mauve, with linen-clad tables and commercial art depicting Venetian canals. The food is equally predictable, with dishes like calamari fritti, beef carpaccio, and caprese salad offered as starters. Pastas, cioppino and traditional veal or chicken dishes are available as entrées, and the kitchen happily accommodates special requests. Risotto can be custom-prepared nightly, but our mushroom risotto was a major disappointment. Equally disappointing was the house-made tiramisu. The central San Gabriel Valley is no longer the distant hinterlands, and we have come to expect a more refined execution of northern Italian specialties, as well as the use of higher quality ingredients. In fairness, the regulars are provided friendly service and a comforting familiarity.
