“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!“

“（Spicy Honey Pie） ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thin crispy crust + pepperoni + honey drizzle, sweet and spicy flatHeng is super addictive!Must order!Cons: Too small, not enough for two people to share ($22). Rigatoni Vodka ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sauce is rich and a perfect blend of cheese and tomato, but you can get tired of eating too much of it. Garlic Shrimp⭐⭐⭐ The shrimp were fresh, but the portion was small (only 5 for $18) and the garlic flavor was not prominent enough. Tiramisu ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the right amount of wetness, coffee liquor flavor, LA Top 3 level! But open until midnight, one of LA's few delicious late night snack options.“

“Our favorite restaurant in Long Beach. We are in the area 3-4 times a year and always come back to enjoy the food and great service. My daughter has many allergies and they are always accommodating and happy to help! We appreciate the service and the welcome we receive with each visit!“

“Pssing through. Hilton Hotel in Montebello said tgey had the best pizza around. Very true. Loved the New York.“

“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.“

“Food was amazing, spot on. Great comfortable service. Really nice experience!“

“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!“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“Whether you get it to go or dine-in. ALWAYS amazing! Chef always makes you feel at home. My absolute favorite Italian Restaurant. P.S. every picture has been a different occasion 😋“

“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.“

“Muy bueno el servicio la comida lo mejor“

“Awesome Place to Eat Italian food“

“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!“

“Today Is My Wife's Birthday And For The VERY First Time Olive Garden In Downey Was At Its Best! EVERYTHING Was Perfect! I Sure Hope It Stays This Way, The Time Over And Over! Thank You For Making Her Birthday Lunch/Dinner GREAT! ❤️“

“It was a Sunday evening (4/5/26), and my family of three came in for dinner. Even though the restaurant was busy, the atmosphere was still very pleasant and welcoming.

Our waiter, Ben, was attentive, professional, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. George, the manager, was also very kind and approachable. He consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, which made us feel truly valued as customers.

It’s so nice to see a restaurant that still takes the time to care about their guests and provide such great service. Experiences like this are what every family should receive when dining out.

Thank you so much, George and Ben, for always giving my family the best service—we truly appreciate it!

“The place can get a little busy when the mall is busy but totally worth the wait if you want good food and drinks. I recommend the Crispy Eggplant Parmesan, Grilled Bread & Good Olive Oil and the Yellowtail Crudo. Super delicious and great starters!“

“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!“

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

“Antonio is the best chef in the Southbay, he pours a great glass of vino! Jess, provides great service.“

“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.“

“The best pizza ever! We had the vegetarian and the pepperoni with jalapeños also a Greek salad. The employees were very nice and made us feel welcomed. The ingredients are high quality and the taste is amazing! We also had the dole pineapple soft serve. It was so tasty. Would definitely recommend this pizza place. This was the perfect place after seeing the Christmas lights in Naples“
