“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!!“

“Wow. Our entire experience was phenomenal, from our first interaction with the hostess to walking out the door.

Chef Walter has created a robust, impressive Italian menu, and Scott, the sommelier, was fantastic. His knowledge of wine really stood out to me, and his recommendations made the dining experience that much better. He picked the perfect bottle for our specific food and occasion. He clearly knows his wine and brings a level of expertise and enthusiasm that makes you appreciate the entire dining experience even more.

Excellent food, exceptional service, and an all around memorable experience.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious food & heart-warming memories ... that's what Marri's is for me. I have enjoyed their pizza from 1980 (on LB Blvd) through the 90's (in Anaheim), to now (on Palo Verde)... I am ordering now as I write this review (haha). Speaking as a 60-ish Mom/Grandma, I want to say thank you for generational memories. This family will always be your greatest fans!“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious, we came last night after a whole hour of trying to figure out what to eat and the Godmother did not disappoint. We had the cannoli, the arancini, and the lemon pasta and omg it was so good. Try new things, be open to experiences and you’ll find a spot like The Godmother Sicilian Comfort Food in your backyard.

ALSO Angie san who gave a three star review, you don’t like anything you haven’t given anything a five star review that isn’t a parking lot lol.“

“Muy bueno el servicio la comida lo mejor“

“Writing this review while absolutely devouring the best pizza I’ve ever had!! 🍕❤

I just got back from New York, and I’m not even kidding when I say this beats every pizza I had there.

I’ve been coming here for almost 3 years now, and it will forever be one of my favorite restaurants. Everything is SO flavorful. The chef seriously has magic hands because I have yet to order something that isn’t delicious.

I travel a ton, and whenever I’m back in town, this is always the first place I want to stop. The second I walk through the door, it feels like home. ❤

Forever a favorite!!“

“Came with my follow veg friend and we had a lovely evening. We shared a few plates - patate e pesto, pizza montanara, and caccio pasta. Of all, the pizza montanara was my absolute fave - simple fresh ingredients… but the crust here is phenomenal! The pasta was not my personal fave, but I’ll be back for pizza.
There was only 1 server/host/busser and she was BUSY so even though there were open seats it took a while to be seated. Not a suitable place if you’re in any sort of rush but if you have the time to sit and enjoy, I highly recommend!
Big thanks to Paul too for your hospitality, congrats on this project!“

“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....“

“Outstanding food and wine!! Thank you, Lorenzo!“

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

“Ordered online for pickup the shrimp Alfredo gnocchi soup I a tracking email link pulled into empty parking spot typed parking spot # into the linkand the order hand delivered in a couple of minutes Enjoyed the taste and portion sizeof my entree l also enjoyed the gnocchi soup that I saved for later .The bread sticks had just right amount of seasoning and were not over baked I appreciate the chocolate mints, but first I refrigeratie them as they melt from the heat I will return to the OG soon“

“The restaurant has authentic Italian cuisine and atmosphere!“

“I am an owner of a small business and I often bring my 10 employees here for our lunch meetings. I have done this last 5 years or more. The Manager , Nishith , deserves a huge thank you for always getting us seated , served and taken care of before promptly . As a business owner I see the value of what he does for the Olive Garden company as he makes each of our visits enjoyable . The rest of the team here at the Stanton OG are also top notch.. There is another restaurant we used to go to for our staff luncheon / meeting but this is our go to place . This review is long overdue .
