• Bright pops of color and a bold floor gave the restaurant a more modern vibe than I expected.
• Does Plymouth House Pizzeria and Pub offer reservations?
• Next up was the $36 cavatelli lamb ragù, which didn't live up to its price tag.
• Then came the $28 grilled octopus, which is served with lemon, capers, and olives.

The octopus had a soft texture — no easy feat with such a tricky protein. But the meat was so charred on the outside that it completely overwhelmed the flavor. I had heard there was a secret Cecconi's burger, but our waiter revealed it only makes special appearances (usually during happy hour).

I've always had a deep love for pasta, so I'm very good at convincing myself to shell out for a pricey dish on special occasions. I grew up next to a wood-oven pizza restaurant that my family would visit weekly, and Cecconi's wood-fired spicy salami pie captured my nostalgia. Each floppy slice had a satisfyingly smoky and charred bottom, adding some great texture. The spicy salami and perfectly cooked mushrooms were a match made in heaven, and the tomato sauce was delicious. "There's been a lot of people traveling from San Jose down from San Francisco, specifically coming to Burlingame," Mahler added. "They're coming down here and then coming straight here to try mochi pizza for the first time. It's pretty great."

It was a sweet and zingy drink, and the ginger candy garnish was a fun touch. My friend and I had no trouble getting a table, realizing why as we walked up the driveway and into the restaurant. Soho House took full ownership in 2005, and now there are 13 Cecconi's around the world, stretching from Miami Beach to Mumbai. My waitress Rochelle was very nice and made sure that we were taken care of and social. I will definitely be eating there again when I get back to the area.

Next up was the $36 cavatelli lamb ragù, which didn't live up to its price tag.

Served alongside peppadew peppers, which added a kick of heat, the octopus was begging for something to brighten up the plate — whether it be a cooling sauce or a bigger splash of acidity. My parents immigrated to the US from Greece, so a love for octopus is ingrained in me. A great plate can immediately transport me back to childhood summer days spent in tavernas overlooking the Aegean Sea, our table covered in a seafood feast. My drink had a lovely sunny hue that brightened up the very cloudy LA day, with flavors to match.

I brought my class of middle-schoolers to eat here and the experience could not have been better. The service was quick and friendly and the food was perfect for hungry 12-year-olds. Cecconi's has always been a magnet for the A-list and princes.

While it might have been power lunch hour, few people were in suits or business casual. Two very glamorous older women — perfectly coiffed hair, gold jewelry, Jackie O sunglasses — sat across from us. A group of friends in jeans and sweaters were laughing nearby. A handful of solo diners were enjoying quiet meals at the bar. While the atmosphere was as lovely as the service, and we didn't have to wait long for our meal — all important factors in a good "power lunch" — the food just didn't live up to the hype.

It was a lovely pie and the highlight of the lunch, but you can find even better (and cheaper) pizzas at nearby Pizzana or Jon & Vinny's. The phrase "power lunch" can bring to mind a vision of stuffy and dated interiors, but I loved the leather turquoise chairs and black-and-white striped floor in Cecconi's dining room. They added a chic touch alongside the old-school chandeliers and dark wood paneling. We now live in a hybrid world, but the "power lunch" is due for a comeback. Ordered 3 pizzas, cheese, Hawaiian and pizza skin, unbelievable flavor.

I also inquired about the $26 "Piatto Unico" on the menu, which we learned is a lunchtime special that changes weekly and always features a protein, side, and salad. One of the highlights of our lunch was the extremely kind waiter, who highly recommended we get a pizza — which ended up being the best dish of the day. We were seated next to the wraparound bar in front of one of the doors that opened up to the patio. I've lived in LA for the past few years but had never dined at Cecconi's.

Overall, our lunch at Cecconi's was a letdown.

Cecconi's cavatelli lamb ragù is $14 cheaper, but it's still a very pricey dish, and the flavors just didn't warrant the expense, in my experience. The cavatelli was chewy, overcooked, and only coated with a light layer of the ragù. A classic Italian restaurant off West Hollywood's famous Melrose Avenue, Cecconi's frequently appears on lists for the "top power lunch spots" and has been known to attract everyone from Beyoncé to Prince Harry. "It was not easy to do. We scrapped it for probably a year and a half, we stopped and I just said 'I can't do it...it cannot be done," shared Mahler. "It's a pizza made entirely of Japanese rice flour, and kind of a mix of different rice flours, but primarily Japanese rice flour," shared Chef Ty Mahler, the Co-Founder of Mochiko Mochi Pizza. "The goal was to get a crispy outside, but still a chewy inside like mochi."

I have previously ordered the chicken parm and that is the best I have ever had. The team focused on pushing boundaries with flavor and finding the tastiest toppings to accentuate the unique texture. Toppings range from soy-braised beef and roasted garlic kimchi to Japanese curry and fresh cilantro. Cecconi's octopus unfortunately didn't live up to those memories, nor did it come close to some fantastic plates I've had on recent trips to Mexico (Ziggy's octopus in Tulum, I will never forget you).

Enzo Cecconi opened the first location in 1978, bringing "fresh pasta, beef carpaccio, tiramisu, and Bellini cocktails" to the British, according to the restaurant's website.

The Flying Monkey only received minor smoke damage and the venue will be back up in running by the end of the week. Downtown Pizza received most of the damage, which is closed. Everyone was evacuated safely from the Flying Monkey, including Plymouth fire chief Tom Morrison, who was one of 450 people who had to be evacuated. "We have this this kind of flagship location in Burlingame. And then we have our Palo Alto Sushiritto and our...San Francisco Sushiritto also make the pizzas," said Mahler. Extensive research and experimentation went into the Asian-style pizza crust. And in a city with one of the most competitive culinary scenes in the world, there are dozens of places nearby where you can dazzle a client — with both the scenery and the pasta.
