“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!“

“My seafood alfredo never came and it was almost an hour later and the manager Melissa came over, asked about our experience, apologized after my food made it; she made sure our table was taken care of. I really appreciate it her customer service. I will definitely return.🫶💯“

“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!!“

“Nice restaurant with many gluten free options. Staff was super attentive and meals came out quickly. We never felt rush as we were visiting with family from out of town. All of the dishes we had we amazing...especially the dessert(can't remember the name exactly) but it was a pineapple upside down cake. We had an amazing time there. If we are ever in Long Beach again, we will return!“

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

“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.“

“Highly recommended, this is a very good restaurant“

“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!“

“The Spicy Italian Chicken sandwich is the bomb!“

“The best comfort food for our family!“

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

“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.“

“Fantastic food! Chef Hannes created a great menu for us.“

“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.“

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

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

“The food tasted really good!“

“I absolutely ? love everything!!!
Giorio's Has been one of my favorites places to enjoy a great meal for over 10 years.... let it be for lunch or dinner.
The consistency in how thoroughl the food, service and atmosphere truly is you will definitely never be disappointed!!!
Today is my Birthday Oct 16th 2024 and I will definitely be on my way... as a part of celebrating my special day it's definitely on my list of things I love to do!!!“

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

“Super service and good is great!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Pizza made east coast style! First pizza I have had here that reminded me of the pizza I get from my favorites in NY, NJ and Philly. Thin crispy crust perfection and just the right amount of cheese. I am so glad we stopped here. I will be back.“

“I was told Torrance location is better than the others due to them not watering down their recipes.
It held true.
Soups are thicker and more flavorful.
I try the steak Gorgonzola pasta dish when I go to other locations & Torrance blew the rest out of the water.
Service was amazing.
The manager attended us and everything was on point.
Just want to say, if you love Olive Garden, try this location.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Great pastrami sandwich! Great bread that they toast in the pizza oven. I have been numerous times now and while I want to be able to talk to the rest of their menu....I cant. I ordered the pastrami sandwich my first time and have never looked back. But I am sure they have got some other great dishes to offer, pretty big menu. It's a cute local little spot to grab food or eat on their little patio. Highly recommend“

“The best pasta I've ever had, and at such an incredible price!“

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