Casa Barilla - South Coast Plaza

Casa Barilla is now open at South Coast Plaza and I was here for preview dinner. Most dishes are around $10 and pretty big portions, and everything is made to order. Always fresh and no MSG. Whole grain, vegan, and vegetarian options available. They also write down the calories of each dish so that's also very helpful for weight watchers.
I asked them for no cheese on everything but usually all the dishes below has cheese on it.

Insalatona salmone (500kcal) $13.95
House mediterranea salad (mixed greens,tomatoes,  pinto and garbanzo beans), grilled salmon, lemon dressing. Tasty and filling.

I think this is Ortolana, vegetable pizza with wholegrain dough.

As you can tell, portions are big.
