Local Hang Out with San Clemente Flair

Sonny's Pizza and Pasta is a local hang out in San Clemente, CA. When I first moved to the area friends took me here. It is in a difficult location to get, off of Palizada and El Camino, and making a left into the place can be very challenging. They also have very limited parking space. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. Be prepared to wait for outdoor seating if it is nice out.

You get excellent garlic bread with your order and their salads are great.

They make excellent pizza, and are especially known for their White Pizza. The crust is very thin and crispy and the base is a white sauce with three different cheeses added. A must try.

Last time I was in, I tried the Chicken Christina. The dish is a chicken breast stuffed with fresh spinach, mushrooms, garlic and pine nuts and baked in a marsala cream sauce. It is served with penne pasta. The portion was huge. My chicken was a little overcooked and the sauce was a bit on the bland side, but I did enjoy the combination chicken, stuffing and sauce. Overall I'd rate the dish a three out of five though.

Portions are large and very tasty.
