50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bellflower

“Awesome Place to Eat Italian food“

“Aren’t too many good places around Frederick but Ricci’s is in the top 5. Great food. Always fresh and delish! Best time to go is when Tristan (and his brother) and Roxanne are behind the bar. Good food great drinks, great time!!!“

“we ordered and picked up our order. Both pizzas were delicious and made exactly as ordered!“

“It's not a cheap date, but it's a nice one. Skip the famous Caesar salad that's not even an Italian thing. Wines are great, the pastas are good. Loud acoustics, high energy, tons of staff. Only one asked us if we wanted another glass of wine. It is a different setup, counter service and table service combo. Ordered and paid and tipped before we were even sat. Wine bar gave you tastings of any wines you wanted to try so that adds a lot to the experience.“

“非常棒的意大利风味，美味的意面和披萨“

“I love this place!! There food is absolutely amazing, as is their customer service! Recommend the mushrooms for an appetizer and bread pudding for dessert!!“

“Food and Service was great!!“

“Delicious food, fantastic staff. Love the specials and the killer desserts!“

“We stopped in for a cocktail, and Gina, the hostess, kindly found us seats at the bar. We had a wonderful time meeting Terry, the owner, Miguel, the bartender, and Jessica. The entire longtime staff was warm and welcoming.

We ended up staying for dinner and enjoyed the filet mignon and lobster, two of their soups, along with a nice glass of wine and a refreshing spritzer. Great food, terrific service, and a thoroughly enjoyable evening!

This restaurant has been around 36 years and I can see why.“

“Unbelievable experience! The entire time we felt like family and your can truly tell that the chef pours his heart and soul into his food. Tried the swordfish, pork chop, chicken and dumplings, and pasta… every dish was worthy of a Michelin star! Will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend Bar Becky!“

“Giuseppina is such a gem! My husband and I found out about her when she first started setting up shop around LB, but she really found a loyal community in Belmont Shore.

Having traveled to and lived in Italy, I can safely say her food is truly Italian made and the arancini are just like I had when in Italy. She is kind, hardworking, and simply wants everyone to enjoy her cooking. Hope to see her open her own restaurant someday!“

“Great family experience for our huge group. They accommodated us in our own private room so we could visit without interrupting the rest of the diners.“

“Tarantella on 4th in Long Beach is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, it feels less like a restaurant and more like stepping into a vibrant art gallery—every corner is full of personality and creative energy. The food is on another level—freshly made daily, and you can truly taste the difference in every bite. It’s the kind of place where quality and care shine through in every dish. If you're looking to unwind, the outdoor patio is a hidden oasis—intimate, relaxing, and perfect for enjoying a great meal with friends or family. Owners Carlos & Megan have created something really special here: a warm, family-friendly spot with amazing food and genuinely excellent service that makes you feel right at home. Yes, parking in the area can be a bit of a challenge—but trust me, it’s absolutely worth the effort. Tarantula on 4th is one of those places you’ll keep coming back to!those places you’ll keep coming back to!“

“Food is always good. Entertainment is fantastic.“

“Mouthwatering and delicious food!!“

“Muy bueno el servicio la comida lo mejor“

“Absolutely fantastic. I’m blown away at the pizza! You couldn’t tell the difference between dairy cheese and their cheese! I can’t wait to eat it again. The risotto was a tad bit salty for my taste but friends enjoyed it. Olives were delicious but piping hot, be careful. 😂 Table bread was also super yummy! The food did take a while to come out but they were upfront about that.“

“Franco's is a wonderful place to go and support. The staff is always friendly, food is always great, and they are open for lunch on the weekend! Pizza is great. Sauce has a fantastic flavor, dough is fresh and cooked just right. All of the pasta dishes are done right, and the chicken parm is the best!“

“Kristi, with a K, is the best.“

“Was in town and wanted to try this place out, when I got there they told me they were only serving a Monday service menu. I was pretty upset because I wanted to try out the pasta but still went ahead and ordered and ate. All I can say is WOW! The food was amazing with great flavor! I would definitely recommend. It was my fault for not being aware of the Monday menu but I was still blown away.“

“Lunch (Brunch) Saturday June 8 Been reading many glowing reviews ..R they deserved ? If all dishes as flavorful as the Lamb” Secco” Then YES Not cheap , but If I am spending $40-50 person ,the food had Better taste like this. Also good: basic Margherita Pizza.

“I haven’t been to Olive Garden in a long time because my past experiences honestly weren’t the best, but Kevin completely changed that! He was super friendly, attentive, and really helpful when answering my questions about the menu. Everything came out fast, and he made the whole experience feel welcoming and enjoyable. The food was just as good as I remembered too. Huge thanks to Kevin for making it such a great night! Will be coming back for those delicious breadsticks!“

“I ordered here for the first time yesterday. I’ve always picked up orders to deliver for customers and the food always smelled good. I finally gave it a try and I must say I’ll definitely be back lol.“

“absolutely fantastic food and service“

“Stopped in based solely on the reviews and grabbed two pies and some cheesy garlic bread. Both were fantastic. The garlic bread was soft, chewy, cheesy and buttery. The crust and the sauce on the pies were delicious and the toppings were fresh and tasty. Highly recommend.“

“I never knew what real spaghetti was until I had it here. The food's great and the service is great too. And the prices are reasonable.“

“First time here. Guess we picked a bad day to try it as it was exceptionally busy at 1.30 pm. We had to wait 40 minutes for three sandwiches. On the plus side the food was very good. The chicken philly sandwich was fresh and tasty. The server was very friendly and helpful 😃👍🏼“

“The food was terrific. The pizza is the best in Southern California. And the Brazino was perfectly cooked. Tony , the GM, welcomed us after we're seated, and our servers Jesse and Lu, were outstanding throughout the entire meal. So it was great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back.“

“They have the most amazing Pizza awesome ribs the wings are so good the potato wedges are one of my favorite they're good with the wings and the ribs and the pizza their pastas are amazing their subs are amazing I would have to say that everything that I've gotten from here has been above satisfactory the workers are very courteous and I've never gotten any order wrong the delivery drivers are awesome you definitely need to check them out make sure to try the potato wedges and the ribs“

“buen servicio y la comida riquísima 😋“

“We stopped by Valentino's Pizza and wow… this place completely blew us away. The pizza was 1000% pure deliciousness, crispy, flavorful crust, perfectly balanced sauce, and just the right amount of toppings. Every bite hit.

The real test was my daughter she’s very picky and she absolutely loved it, which says everything. That alone makes this spot a win in my book. What really surprised me is that we’ve been to the Valentino’s in Santa Fe Springs, and honestly, it doesn’t even come close to this location. This one is on a whole different level.

From the taste to the texture, this is easily one of the best pizzas I’ve had. You can tell they take pride in what they’re making. The only downside? I just wish it was closer because we’d be here all the time.

Can’t wait to swing by again if you’re anywhere near Long Beach or Naples Island, this spot is a must 🍕🔥“

“I have been meaning to say thank so much for catering to people with allergies. I came in worried about eating out cause I can’t have gluten, and as it turns out I did not get sick because you guys were extremely careful with my order. Thank you so much. I will be coming back to order again some day when I am in town.“

“First time there, will definitely return. Very friendly service; the meatball sandwich was delicious, huge meatballs.“

“love the food and service is great“

“My family and I visited North Italia on May 25th, (yeah I'm late). We only waited about 15 minutes to be seated, and from that point on, everything was fantastic.

A huge thank you to our server, Nick, who was truly exceptional! Since it was our first time dining here, we asked for his suggestions, and his recommendations for our appetizers, entrees, drinks, and desserts was absolutely amazing. We were so impressed by his professionalism and attentive service; we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

At the end of our meal, the manager stopped by to check on us, and we made sure to let her know how much we enjoyed the food and how stellar Nick was. She was so appreciative of the feedback that she even gave us a coupon for a free dessert for our next visit. We will definitely be returning soon!“

“Beautiful ambiance Good Food and Good Drinks The GM Alex was very friendly and hospitable Thank You Alex We will be back!“

“Olive garden never disappoints! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality. Our server was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The unlimited breadsticks are always a win and the food was hot and full of flavor. Berry sangria is so delicious! I got a pitcher of it and even my mom who doesnt drink alcohol at all ended up enjoying a glass after having a taste. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a casual dinner or a night out with family. Great food, great service and great value. We'll definitely be back!“

“This Olive Garden has the best service all around. The food came out quick and hot! Our server was friendly and attentive but to be honest all the staff was friendly. The manager Geo gave us some good tips for our leftovers which we will definitely try and my son was super happy with the amount of chocolates he was given. 10/10 would recommend and we will be back soon!!!“
