50 Best Italian Restaurants near Carson

“Good pizza and variety menu. Mini, 8", available. Great service and staff. I've been a customer for many years and anticipate many more.“

“Today's experience in this restaurant was from bad to awsome starting from our waiter/server don't know the guy but had a real bad attitude constantly makeing faceses like if he was upset or angry us my family of 3 and noticed that he was very joyful with other people but with us has a bad attitude and that's before we started to order we just got there and got our seat to eat. Me personally If we still had that same waiter/server If I could I would give no stars for the service

But the manager stepped in and gave me the best service same thing with the other servers a male and a female with a pink sweater thanks to them I give this place a high rating and would bring my family again

Regardless that bad attitude of the guy who attended us
My recommendation if employee are in a bad mood or haveing a bad day it's never good to mix house problems/personal problems with work because to me olive garden it's a family restaurant

But thank you to the manager and the 2 addition servers that help us and gave us the best experience 👍

Keep up the great work for the people that give the best customer service

And for the people that are upset or angry please 🙏 keep the personal problems at home/ to your self because people are here to eat/enjoy/spend time with there family“

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

“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!!“

“Went for Easter lunch and it was fabulous.“

“The torpedos are incredible“

“First time here. Aside from its being loud - first impression - and it was - we were impressed as each dish came out. Remarkably good and satisfying food. From a classic margarita pizza to the flavourful gnocchi and beef cheek, the food was as interesting as it was delicious.“

“Came here on a whim for a solo date. My server, Logan - was incredibly knowledgeable about wine and helped me choose an amazing seafood pasta off the menu. At first I wasn’t sure about the squid ink, but it was probably one of the best pastas I have ever eaten. The affogato for dessert was delicious as well.

Side note: They were playing cool music, early Black Sabbath off Vol. 4 🤘🏼

I will definitely be back!“

“Yummy wine as be delicious food!“

“Always great at dockside love it“

“The food was super delicious!!!“

“非常棒的意大利风味，美味的意面和披萨“

“The best comfort food for our family!“

“Almost every employee has a thiqqq italian accent so big points on authenticity. We ordered the yellowtail grapefruit appetizer, pear and arugula salad, mushroom tagliatelle, and the seafood spaghetti. The pasta was extremely fresh and made in house, one of the greatest meals I’ve had in the South Bay. Service was executed brilliantly and the vibes were through the roof. I want to live at Stecca Taverna but they don’t allow that so I will just frequent whenever I can.“

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

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

“服務員態度親切，讓客人覺得溫馨“

“We ended up at Lozio Osteria Pizzeria Bar completely by accident. My friends and I were looking for a new place to celebrate my birthday, somewhere we hadn’t been before, and this turned out to be such a great find.

Honestly, all the food was absolutely delicious. The truffle fries were especially amazing. We finished them so quickly that we had to order another round.

We had bruschetta, a charcuterie board, Caesar salad, fettuccine bolognese, and carbonara, and everything was spot on. For dessert, we ordered a pistachio cake. The portions were perfect for a group of five girls, and we left happy and full.

The cocktails were also great, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

And the service really made the experience. Our waiter had such a great sense of humor, kept joking with us, and truly lifted the whole mood of the evening.“

“A group of friends got together for a retirement dinner celebration. The food, service, and ambiance were outstanding. Our server was helpful with appetizers (calamari and shared salads) and wine recommendations - including suggested half portions for some of the larger pasta entrees. A truly great dinner experience in a convenient Long Beach location!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We ordered the pesto, sausage and mushroom risotto, arancini and the cannolis. Everything was absolutely delicious and made with care. The main dishes were made fresh while we waited. The canollis were filled when we ordered them which kept the shells crispy. The details matter which makes their food amazing. And the owner and son are so nice. Great place. We will be back.“

“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 ?“

“Highly recommended, this is a very good restaurant“

“I stumbled upon this little gem while out for a walk, and I’m so glad I gave it a try after hearing locals raving about it back at my hotel. The calamari was cooked to perfection, and the clam chowder was so authentic it reminded me of home back in Nova Scotia. I even returned the next day for the seafood linguine, and I’m still thinking about it two days later! If you’re in the San Pedro area, this place is an absolute must-visit.“

“Muy bueno el servicio la comida lo mejor“

“The Spicy Italian Chicken sandwich is the bomb!“

“Amazing!!! This restaurant has a special place in the heart of my family. Even after nearly a decade between visits, the food is still amazing, the atmosphere is friendly, and the staff is incredible! If you live in the area or are simply passing by, this is some of the best Italian food around.“

“Came by on a whim through a recommendation from chatGPT lol. I was craving pasta. I ordered the one that starts with a T and my daughter ordered the one that starts with a P hehe. I can't remember the names! The pasta tasted fresh and the sauce was obviously cooked for a long time and tasty. I would come back and try another dish.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Been coming here for years. We def have our faves Mama Mia Chicken Eggplant Parmesan, Carbonara, Pesto Linguine, Chicken Alfredo, Ravioli. Always ask for 2nds on bread basket w chimichurri--fresh and hot. Fresh lemonade. Hits the spot. We come for the food. Server is same gal for decades. Always pleasant.“

“The food tasted really good!“

“Super service and good is great!“

“Great food at a good price & service is always fantastic. The last time we went, there was a new server in training & so the service wasn’t great as it usually is, BUT, she was learning on the job, which is the point of training. We will definitely return!“

“First time here had the lasagna and it was delicious and so was the bread that comes with it“

“Good food! I've been coming here most of my life and still as good as the first time my dad brought a Torpedo home.“

“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.“

“Great coffee. Way better than Starbucks and Dunkin. Please make your way to the east coast!“

“We recently catered sandwiches from Amo. The sandwiches were full of flavor and very fresh. They were even able to customize a vegetarian sandwich for us. The service is excellent, Cinzia and Gaetano, the owners were very pleasant to deal with. They made sure that we got what we were looking for.“

“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“
