Mediterraneo is a hip young tapas restaurant on the Hermosa beach pier in the Southbay of Los Angeles CA. The tapas menu is not the traditional Spanish cuisine but instead filled with healthy and delicious options from Mediterranean cuisine. The mostly outdoor seating offers views of the pier for people watching while you enjoy each course. Don’t worry about getting chilly it is Los Angeles after all and the restaurant has heating lamps. The menu has so many great choices making it hard to choose. First I enjoyed the restaurants version of a bread appetizer with pita bread and hummus. It was filling and healthy. I finally decided on the meatball, fried mac and cheese ball, and side of spring veggies. The small plates came and the meatball was absolutely delicious in richly flavored marinara sauce and the fried mac and cheese was very interesting. It was very cheesy with a few noodles mixed in. The spring vegetables were sautéed in some delicious sauce making them extra fresh. I was too full to try any dessert and it was such a healthy meal I didn't want to ruin it with dessert. This cute restaurant offers the perfect beach atmosphere as well as health conscious options. I loved being able to go out to dinner even while I was dieting. The ambiance makes you feel like you really are in the Mediterranean. I definitely recommend stopping in if you are looking for a nice beach dinner on the pier.
