50 Best Italian Restaurants near Carson

“Great food..Great service I'll be going back“

“We wanted to put a twist on Canadian bacon and pineapple extra large. Instead of Canadian bacon we asked for sausage and beef meatballs chopped with additional mushrooms. It was a pretty big pizza for only 28 something with tax. $3 per extra topping. It was delicious!“

“The manager was extremely accommodating. I had a big group of teenagers that needed to practice and learn how to split a bill. The hostess and wait staff were extremely patient and welcoming towards them but also the parents that were staying to observe. This is a great place to have a get-together and enjoy a good meal in good company.“

“Miss having the best pizza! I moved out of state.“

“looks and taste appetizing, with colorful toppings and a well-browned crust. Properly cut slices make it easy to eat and share.The smell of a great pizza should be enticing, with the aromas of baked dough, melted cheese, and fresh toppings mingling together recommend 100%“

“Th workers were really nice! I told them that this was my first time visiting and that I’d been following them for quite sometime. The young lady at the register took her time with me and was very warming. I ordered the pepperoni pizza and plain wings with the Buffalo sauce on the side and it was very tasty! I will be back in the near future!“

“Food was great! Wonderful dessert recommended by our server!!“

“Got the Giulio sandwich. The small was still pretty big and decent price. The meats were fresh and the bread was soft. The staff was really nice.

The food can take awhile to make given it's so busy during the lunch rush. The market itself is nice for getting many Italian items like olive oil, fresh pasta and tinned fish.

The outdoor seating is nice but also next to a busy street so it can get loud.“

“Yummy wine as be delicious food!“

“Always great at dockside love it“

“Went for Easter lunch and it was fabulous.“

“非常棒的意大利风味，美味的意面和披萨“

“Wanted-craved-great Italian food. Found it at Love&Salt. Atmosphere was great...we sat at the bar facing the sous chef near the kitchen. The service was personal but not bothersome. We were able to chat and hang out and eat leisurely. We ordered the raddicchio salad for appetizer, then the Rigatoni Carbonara, and the Creste di Gallo Midollo pasta with bone marrow. We finished off with tiramisu' of course. Top notch, definitely coming back.“

“The food was super delicious!!!“

“服務員態度親切，讓客人覺得溫馨“

“Dare I say, our new favorite restaurant in Long Beach?! Due Fiori has become one of our absolute favorite spots in town! The vibe is perfect the moment you walk in. Warm, welcoming, and the kind of place where you instantly feel taken care of. We love sitting at the bar!

The Caesar salad is hands down one of the best I have ever had. Fresh, crisp, and full of flavor and loads of parm. The bread is incredible and their homemade pasta is the real standout though. They know flavor!! I am Italian, live in Italy as well and these guys are killing it here!

If you want a great night out with amazing food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere, go to Due Fiori. It has become our go to spot. You will not be dissapointed!“

“Service and food is amazing. Would definitely recommend.“

“What a fantastic discovery. I was craving calzones and used to have a spot in Los Feliz which I would go out of my way for. After trying a few places which fell short of the mark in South Bay, I almost gave up on finding authentic Italian food locally. The search was worth it as this is now going to be one of my forever places to come on a regular basis. From the calzone, to the pizza, salads and even the Cannoli Siciliani Pistacchio, everything has been nothing short of amazing. To top it off, it’s family run and they are all the sweetest and most warm people I’ve encountered at any local restaurant. If you haven’t tried them yet, you need to stop by.“

“Great folks, diverse clientele and awesome food!!“

“Taverna is incredible, and the service is top-notch. The staff is highly skilled, which you don’t see often in LA. As someone who has traveled extensively across Italy, I can honestly say this is authentic Italian cuisine. After nearly four years in Los Angeles, I’m so happy to have finally found true, delicious, and flawless Italian food.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Exceptional Italian Dining I had an absolutely unforgettable experience at L'Opera Italian Restaurant. From the moment we sat down, everything was perfect. Even the table bread stood out — warm, incredibly soft, and so fresh it practically melted in your mouth. It set the tone for an amazing meal. We started with the burrata, which was unbelievably creamy and paired beautifully with the tomatoes and seasonings. It was fresh, flavorful, and one of the best burrata plates I've had anywhere. The lasagna with vodka sauce was the highlight of the night. The layers were tender, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the vodka sauce had the ideal balance of richness and flavor without being heavy. You can taste the quality in every bite. The ravioli was just as impressive — perfectly cooked, generously filled, and served with a sauce that complemented it perfectly. Everything tasted homemade, authentic, and crafted with care. The service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance was elegant yet comfortable. The staff checked in at the right times and made the experience feel special without being intrusive. Overall, everything exceeded my expectations. L'Opera is officially one of my new favorite Italian restaurants. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for amazing food, great service, and a memorable dining experience“

“Came in tonite every thing was great Our server was great aswell food excellent will be back“

“Absolutely amazing spot. Friends brought me to try and loved it! Wonderful customer service too.“

“Food was delicious! Focaccia with anchovy dip was my fave although the carrots were a close second!

We were walk ins and it almost seemed like they wouldn’t be able to seat us so probably best to make a res on the weekend. Other than that the service was on point and the open kitchen was nice to see the masters at work with such a confident demeanor!

Highly recommend!“

“Since ordering for the first time a few days ago, we have gone back two more times. The food has been very good, the staff has been friendly and the pickup has gone smooth. We love how many choices there are all in one place. We will be frequent fliers ?“

The Green velvet gin cocktail is amazing and pizza incredible!! This will be my new hang out spot:) The story behind the restaurant is also worth supporting!! Go small businesses!! Worth a visit for sure:)“

“Everything was amazing! The service was great. We didn't have to wait to be seated. Even though there was a big sporting event on the TV's , the noise level wasn't loud. We had a signature pizza there that was delicious. There was a slight wait for that but it wasn't overly long. This is our second time here and we will definitely be back!“

“The best comfort food for our family!“

The coffee house down the block doesn’t allow dogs in and I like to grab a coffee for our morning walks and they always take care of us! Thank you so much for contributing to our neighborhood and food scene 🤍🤍🤍“

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

“Heard about the newly opened IL Posta from our daughter, so we decided to check it out for a weekday lunch. They’ve got a solid lunch menu with special prices, and on Tuesdays you even get a free drink — nice little perk.

We tried a couple of pastas and they came out well. The pasta itself had a nice al dente bite, which I really appreciate. The Alfredo sauce was the star — creamy, cheesy, and just right. The vodka sauce leaned a little on the sour side, but still tasty overall. We also shared a flatbread; flavor was fine but I wished the crust had more crispiness to it.

Service was responsive and friendly, and parking was easy with plenty of street options nearby. Overall, a good new addition to the Riviera Village dining scene — looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu.“

“Such a beautiful time dinning out with my wife. The atmosphere is charming the food is amazing . We had an incredible time very authentic Mediterranean food. We truly recommend this place 👌“

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

“fabulous little deli with a great mix of ideas to grab on the go!...and their sandwiches are amazing!! 💯🤙“

“Don't let the old decor prevent you from dining or taking out from here. The food is excellent. We have tried many dishes, and all were delicious. My husband's favorite is veal Marsala and mine is seafood cioppino. The lasagne is excellent. We see many take-out orders of pizza. The bread is warm and fresh, and we usually ask for seconds.“

“The food tasted really good!“

“Super service and good is great!“

“Muy bueno el servicio la comida lo mejor“

“We were headed to our hotel from Venice Beach and craving Italian. Driving past Italy’s Little Kitchen, we decided to take a chance and try it out. When I tell you words can’t describe how delicious their food was. My 5yr old son rarely eats much of his food when dining out, he’s more of a snacked/small meals throughout the day and he ate 3/4 of his pizza. Below is my leftover Chicken Piccata and a sliver of their fresh bread. I didn’t think my food could get any better, but this late night snack was 100% better. The chicken & vegetables marinated in the capers & sauce. If you are in the area, you should definitely stop by. I promise you won’t regret.“
