Sbarro Surprises!
08.24.11
It’s hard to beat freshly made pastas, and now the Atrium Court at Fashion Island has a spot serving made from scratch pastas everyday.
Sbarro is a new Italian concept restaurant where you watch the entire process of pastas and freshly made pizza dough being made. There’s also a create-your-own pasta station, where a sauté chef prepares fresh pasta to order.
Get as creative as you want, or order classics such as penne alla vodka, fettuccine Alfredo or spaghetti pomodoro. Sbarro also bakes pizza fresh in their brick ovens; and at the pizza topping station choose from chicken and roasted peppers to caramelized onions and jalapeños to make it just the way you like.
Sbarro makes dough from scratch every morning for its strombolis and garlic breadsticks too.
Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.
Sbarro at Fashion Island’s Atrium Court. 949.760.2520.
No need to resist!

When it comes to shoes, we are better off not even knowing about or seeing certain pairs. Prime example, the new Kenta shoe from Jimmy Choo. Now we will dream of them, and in a moment of weakness, if they were drastically reduced, possibly even purchase.
We’ve never seen anything quite as beautiful (in a shoe) as this green sandal that’s appliquéd with a zebra motif on a mesh and encrusted with hand
embroidered crystals. Thankfully, at $1,995 a pair, chances are we will only wear them in our dreams.
We’ve checked it out and the shoes haven’t hit Jimmy Choo boutiques yet, however you can purchase http://www.jimmychoo.com/autumnwinter-11-collection/kenta/invt/112kentascy/">online.
Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
Jimmy Choo is on Level 1, at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. 714.327.0644.
