“We had a big group lunch at the patio of this restaurant and everything was perfect. The owner and staff helped us to arrange a warm and cozy get-together with nice atmosphere, good food selection, best service and reasonable price. It's our favorite Italian restaurant in the neighborhood and we strongly recommend this place.“

“Muy bueno el servicio la comida lo mejor“

“Came back twice becoz it was so good the first time. However, disappointed that the second time, the complimentary bruschetta appetizer was only one piece when the evening before, it was one full order of bruschetta. $14 for a two pieces of bruschetta was way too expensive as written on my receipt. Although it was comped, to know that two pieces would cost $14 is outrageous.“

“This is our favorite Italian restaurant! The food is outstanding and the service is excellent! The owners and staff treat you like family! Great place & highly recommend them!“

“It’s a modest place in a small strip mall that I’ve been visiting since I was a teenager. Franco’s is a good place to enjoy fine Italian food. I really enjoyed the “Franco’s Special” stuffed chicken breast. Service is great, prices are reasonable. Plenty of free parking too.“

“The food was great had the Chicken Parmesano, the chicken was tender and the sauce that was on it was delicious and light. Came with mashed potatoes, sautéed carrots, and broccoli. The vegetables were tender but needed more flavor. The mashed potatoes were done well and had a lot of flavor. Dont know if we were there too early but there was only one server, don't get me wrong he was great but he did need help. Overall I would dine here again.“

“Worst Alfredo Sauce ever! Extremely disappointed. I'm not sure what happened to them, but I'm guessing they ran out. And someone tried to put some together quickly with milk and water. Because that's exactly what it tasted like. And so expensive too. Huge let down....“

“Wonderful place! Very helpful staff and warm customer service. They've been a family favorite since the 60s. They never disappoint.“

“For the LB Food week special the appetizers were two seafood items- an oyster and a scallop served separately and beautiful. Both delicious but the oyster's drizzle of lime, cucumber, jalapeno and dotted with ikura (roe) was particularly enchanting. The scallop sauce was tangy and delish as well with a splash of chili oil. The last appetizer was a parker house roll, which was good but I prefer regular bread. But it was nicely grilled and had a nice whipped butter calabrian chili spread on the side. It was petite so no worries about it killing your appetite.

The Pappardelle pasta itself was fresh but I found the simple sundried tomatoes and garlic confit sauce a tad on the plain side. But a nice portion to share.

The tri-tip apparently was the popular selection for this menu over the swordfish which is always on the menu. Kudos to the chef that it was prepared perfectly. The heirloom tomatoes with tiny slices of pepper were a nice contrast.

The dessert was a refreshing strawberry compote (perhaps not the correct food term) but it was a nice light dairy dessert with fresh strawberries albeit it would be great with little used rhubarb.

Service was good.

Super cute place with ample patio seating. Yes, you can bring your (little) dog but be mindful that it's first come/first serve so you and your pet may have to be seated elsewhere if the dog vibes get out of hand, which is what happened last night. Luckily, Ellie's has two patio sections and everyone was happy.

Also, note, that Ellie's suggest that if you need transportation to get here, consider an Uber/Lyft. Residential parking takes up most of the immediate area. Long Beach bus #121 drops off on Ocean Blvd, which is 4 or so blocks away.“

“The tiramisu was amazing. The wait staff brought one for my cousins birthday.“

“Fabulous restaurant in an elegant old style European decor. really miss it now that I no longer live in Long Beach“

“We hadn't been to OG in a while, and to celebrate a friend's birthday we chose there for the convenience.
The service wasn't great. Waters and sodas weren't refilled and empty plates sat on the table a long time.
The bread sticks came out cool rather than hot and fresh.
When we needed the waiter he was hard to find.
Then a new waiter took over and the old one never said goodbye.

Though the 2nd waiter wss good. We asked to take the last of our salad home and he just gave us a whole new salad to go. That was very cool.
And the chocolate birthday cake they sent over was outstanding.“

“In celebration of My Lady birthday. The service was beyond expectation. The servers were kind, joyful, attentive and respectful. The food was brought to the table fresh, hot, and to the person who ordered it. The price was well in reach. We Gad an grantastic time.“

“So we were waiting for a table and decided to sit at the bar and have a couple of drinks. The ambiance was nice. Service in the beginning at the bar was not, however... Waited about 8-10 min (someone did say they would be with us but then proceeded to go to the back and move around the bar checking on other patrons). My husband decided to get up and grab us a menu. Finally Dan (1 of the 4 bartenders/barbacks asked us what we wanted). He was lovely, attentive, and had wonderful suggestions. He made a fabulous old-fashioned and pomegranate mule. We at the ricotta cavatelli, spicy broccolini, and heirloom tomato burrata. The food was delicious (one of the best meals we have had in a while, the flavors were perfect 👌.“

“Been enjoying everything since I was 5 great food and better service love it“

“You know sometimes the stars just align. It's my birthday and Olive garden is running a free delivery promotion. I also just so happen to have a $25 gift card so I ordered myself a little something something for dinner. In my notes I asked if I could have some extra breadsticks because it was my birthday. (Because obviously we know that two breadsticks is never going to cut it.) In addition to giving me four breadsticks, they also wrote happy birthday and drew on my bag! Sometimes it's a little things in life that really mean the most. Thank you Olive Garden for making my birthday dinner awesome.“

“Valentino’s Pizza Naples has extraordinary food, great prices, and extremely kind people.

I am visiting Long Beach for a few days and ran into a guy named Tony at church. We got to talking and turns out he is originally from Michigan where I live. Today I went on a run and had already spent my cash at a fishing store. I happened to run past Valentino’s pizza and was surprised to see a familiar face. It was Tony, and he owns the place! We chatted for a while outside and he offered me a free piece of Barbecue pizza! It was some of the tastiest pizza I have ever had, made by the kindest cook in California!“

“We are from Tampa Florida and visited with family here locally We all enjoyed a lunch at your location, and service and food was absolutely amazing!! Thank you“
