14 Best Italian Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

“I love Love and Salt and have always been very satisfied with my food and experience there. Unfortunately the chicken dish I split with my girlfriends was extremely salty. I did let our waitress know so it would not happen to other guests! Thank you and look forward dining there again! Kathy Snyder“

“Super service and good is great!“

“Ottimo il branzino, molto buona la focaccia“

“Highly recommended, this is a very good restaurant“

“Very good italian food. The Osso Buco was really fantastic“

“We were going to a different restaurant when we saw Pitfire pizza and changed our mind. We were glad we did. The pizza here was so good. The crust was great. My kids said it was the best barbecue chicken pizza that they have ever had. We also loved garlic knots. The Ranch dressing was awesome. We had our pizza about 20 minutes after we ordered it. We will be back.“

“Been coming to Beach Pizza for a long while, my bro and friend delivered for them. It’s one of the few places that makes me and my pops still want to devour some pizza. The delivery business has picked up with online so it can be busy around dinner but it’s still a good place for a meal. The meatball sub and calzone are also tasty:). Get the “deep dish” if you like extra crust, it's not super deep but quite tasty -- see the first pic with some slices missing.“

“We went on March 23, 2024We waited 5 minutes for them to give us a table for 8 people, the waiter was very friendly and bilingual, which I liked because in several restaurants they no longer want to speak in Spanish, the food was delicious, he was quick to serve, there is a refill of salad and certain drinks, a family and cozy atmosphere, even the waiter very kindly took 1 photo of us for which we thank him, excellent day!!!“

“Brooklyn Brick Oven pizza truly delivers the taste of New York! As a picky connoisseur of authentic New York pizza, I'm thrilled to say this place exceeded my expectations. The pizza was simple and straight to the point, with a perfectly crispy crust. Every bite was a delightful reminder of why New York pizza is renowned worldwide. Highly recommend!“

“Great coffee. Way better than Starbucks and Dunkin. Please make your way to the east coast!“

“I love all Il Fornaios. Sadly, the Pasadena location has closed and the Beverly Hills location is going to close soon. I urge everyone to go to the Manhattan Beach location to support them. It is a beautiful restaurant with impeccable service, white tablecloths and authentic Italian food. It's hard to find a quality restaurant like this nowadays. I've been going to Il Fornaio restaurants since 1981 when they first opened in Beverly Hills. It's a special family of restaurants.“

“excellent pie! thin, crispy crust, perfect!“

“I like this place because it's the closest to my chicago deep dish I can get to here in LA. Everyone is friendly and the food is great. I was disappointed last Friday when I put in an order for over 130 dollars for delivery. The driver didnt come to the exact address (I was at work) and when I tried calling him he told me he doesnt speak English and I spent a good ten minutes of my 30 minute lunch walking back and forth trying to find him since we couldnt communicate. Please send drivers that are able to communicate with costumers incase things like that happen again! It was SUPER frustrating, and I have never had a problem with a delivery finding my location from any company before!“

“Most of the time I get delivery and they deliver very quickly. I order the chicken parm most of the time and it comes with chicken parm covering a full bed of pasta. However the time before today the amount of chicken was a small thin filet set in the middle of the pasta, I was really disappointed and didn’t want to order from them again. But, I was really craving that dish today and thought that they must have different people fixing the food, so I gave them another chance. I was so happy, the entire dish of pasta was covered with nice thick chicken breasts, enough for two meals, hope they continue to earn my five star review“
