“Little mini mall area where you wouldn’t expect a FANTASTIC meal! Our waiter suggested the kale salad and rigatoni, and WOW this did NOT disappoint. I am extremely picky and kale salads are not exactly my cup of tea, but this salad was INCREDIBLE. Little bit of spice, refreshing, and delicious. We also had a couple of their premium drinks that were also refreshing and worth the expensive price tag. We had the rigatoni and the tonnarelli (which we’ve had in actual Italy) for our mains and both dishes were superb-we shared :) definitely recommend this place based on the AMAZING food, the great service (love a server who suggests the best things on the menu and isn’t just saying it when it doesn’t fulfill), quick service (we never waited long for anything), and overall atmosphere. When I miss taking pictures of the food for a review because it is THAT good, that’s a good sign!“
“This restaurant is fantastic!!!The food is always great.. full portions and reasonably priced... the Della Casa salad is our favorite.. which has both heats of palm and artichoke hearts and a wonderful light dressing... all pastas are great... we had the sea bass which was fresh and was served with veggies and potatoes. Love this restaurant and when the weather gets better the outdoor patio is fantastic.. 1/2 a block in from the beach... Excellent service and atmosphere.“
“The chicken marsala was incredibleVegetarian options: Pizza and pasta can be ordered vegetarian. Not a great place for vegans.Dietary restrictions: I had a hard time finding a gluten-free option. Trani's does not have gluten-free pizza or pasta.“
“A vegan friend recommended going here and it did not disappoint. The brussels sprouts weren’t great, but I got the San Gennaro pizza and it was seriously one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, vegan or not. Nice atmosphere and I’ll definitely come back for this pizza.“
“Decent atmosphere, kinda dark and fairly loud. Food was over all good. The meatballs were good, but nothing crazy. The ricotta wip was a good addition to them and the bread was good and crispy. The mushrooms lasagna was absolutely over powered by the balsamic and wayyyy too sweet. The egg pizza was delicious from the dough to the toppings. The desserts however were best described by my friend as grocery store desserts. Tiramisu was ok, missing half a layer... Strawberry shortcake a hard pass. Neither worth it imo.“
“I ordered via DoorDash and this order was ready and delivered so fast. It came hot and delicious. Highly recommend. Lots of flavor in the lasagna and the salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette was really good. Cheese bread was about what you’d expect. I’ll order this again.“
“Marco's cooking made me feel like a child again, sitting at the table with my grandparents, without time and without worries. The scent of ragù, the freshness of basil, the magic of pizza and the good heat of homemade pasta brought me back to my homeland. The lively dishes and the genuine atmosphere are a living tradition, try it to believe it! Here there is not just taste, there is a real experience that has no equal in Los Angeles. I'm happy to have found you!“
“One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Long Beach.Every bite takes me back to Italy. ?Carbonara and Romana Pizza it’s my favorite.Great service and Great staff. Expect to wait if you’re having dining in on a weekend.Worth the wait!“
“Our women's group UWiS celebrated our 9th International Women's Day Dinner @Raffeallos Ristorante on Friday, March 8th. We had 100 guests, including one supportive man, President of Local 105 SMART Sheet Metal Worker's union. Our event was in their banquet room and we used every inch. The room was beautifully decorated and the service was excellent. We had a deejay who did take request DJ Sweezy and he struck just the right tones. It was a beautiful evening to celebrate women in various trades.“
“First of all, it is very attractive that you can easily make reservations from Google and Yelp. The atmosphere inside the store is very cute. The appetizer artichoke is very delicious! ! ! This had really great seasoning and the sourness of the lemon was nice. It's so delicious that I want to come back just to eat it. The risotto and lemon tiramisu was also very delicious.“
“In the summer of 1975, I was only 14, and already a "Busboy extraordinaire"! My family had just moved from East Los Angeles to Monterey Park, and I started working at the best Italian restaurant on the planet, 'Agostino's'. At first, I thought all the beautiful girls were coming in to see me clear dirty dishes off of dirty tables. I later learned it had something to do with the food. And something to do with the restaurants' proximity to Mark Keppel High School. On top of all that. it was Great pizza at an affordable price. I stayed there charming the clientele for about three years. I met members of the M.P. Police, council members, Mayors, and others. I saw my classmates come in with their families, on dates, and in the banquet room after every major school dance. It was a place where you could go have pizza with friends, and not be embarrassed to run into your parents having a nice dinner. It was the hub of all social life in the San Gabriel Valley. I left the restaurant for college in 1978. In 1980, Agostino ("Gus") and Alicia sold the restaurant and went back to Sicily. I hadn't seen them in almost 50 years. A half century! Well, my fellow Monterey Parklandians (is that even a word?), this past weekend my wife says to me: "Remember your wish to step into 1975 and smell the food at Agostino's again"? She then drove me to this small Italian restaurant in the community of Paramount. Inside ..... were Gus & Alicia. The original owners who gave me my first real job so many years ago. The food was as good OR better than I remembered. Just as fresh too. My wife and I split an antipasto salad, a lasagna, and a pizza. Alicia came over to sit with us, we traded hugs & stories. Alicia is as warm and delightful as I remembered her. We didn't spend too much time with Gus, he was busy. Although I believe Gus is still jealous, because Alicia thinks I'm too handsome. It's a mystery. If you lived in the MP/Alhambra area for any amount of time, you surely enjoyed the authentic Sicilian food from Agostino's. And you'll truly enjoy Gus & Alicia's "Cafe Corleone". I know we'll be going back. CAFE CORLEONE 15337 Paramount Blvd, Paramount, CA (562) 408-6100. Dine-in/Takeout / Delivery“
“We took our son-in-law and daughter out for his birthday. Everyone enjoyed their food very much. The only reason I didn't give five stars was that I had requested a quiet table out of the restaurant traffic, but we ended up next to the bar, in passing traffic. I have a serious hearing loss and very much wanted to enjoy the conversation. The staff is always helpful and delightful, very professional.“

“I ordered take out online and it was fast and easy and the food was ready fairly quickly. As I enter the restaurant it was very busy and the atmosphere was pleasant. While waiting for my order a manager or owner without asking handed me some fresh bread to enjoy. That was nice. The food was delicious and I’ll definitely go back :)“
“I am a lover of Italian food! Overall the place was good. Everything seemed fresh and had good flavor. We ordered the burrata appetizer, which was decent. I appreciated that they had 2 types of gluten free pasta. They made the other pastas in house. Worth a try if you are craving Italian food and are in the area.“
“Very nice elegant restaurant I really loved the vibe and how once you enter you go up the stairs to a totally chill vibe with a view ! very discreet . The service was fast and the food was tasty and well cooked I came after walking out of Coastal up the street.The server at Radici was great and focused.“
“This place is a South Bay gem! The coffee is the best I have found in our area, the owner/staff are super friendly, and the food is fresh & delicious. In the morning, it's packed but service is still efficient. Highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a latte and a crostini!“
“Squid and wasabi spaghetti has been my favorite for over a decade. However, it was fresh wasabi root with very pleasant aroma. Now it's a pickled wasabi and something g has been missing for me. Maybe I am just picky. But the 1 dollar salad and the refillable sweet tea is always must-have! Bread is always fresh and soft inside. I will still go back every time I am nearby...“
“Can't go wrong with complimentary fresh baked bread served warm. Love Fritto Misto. We've dined in a few times and ordered takeout once. All experiences have been fantastic with staff & food, although on one visit my sauce was broken and I should have sent it back but definitely not a deterrent from future visits. Pasta is definitely made in house along with pretty much everything else. Some of the specials & really complex pasta dishes can be on the pricier side. I appreciate how affordable the simple choose your pasta & sauce option is. They don't accept reservations. This spot can be really busy during normal dinner times but if you go before 6:30 you can generally get a table easily, no problem. If you take any of their pasta to go and need to reheat it, do it on the stove & not in the microwave..“
“Most charming Italian restaurant in the Southbay! Chef David Slay always gets the best ingredients for freshness and flavors of Italy. The made daily focaccia bread to start is a must! We love the lasagna, chicken piccata and mushroom and fennel pizza!“
“We were here for a bridal dinner in the private back room. Absolutely delicious!!! Fresh ingredients and everything made with love. Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere! The pasta was perfect and the appetizers were such a tasty start to an incredible meal.“
“Best vegan pizza in LA!! The crust is perfect, the plant-based cheese is the best I’ve ever had, and all in all it’s delicious! I miss the vegan lovers though :/. Thankfully you can replace cheese for the vegan cheese on any pizza, but I loved the toppings before! It’s also pretty pricey…Vegetarian options: Very vegan-friendly!“
“Evening food is INCREDIBLE - like you’re in Italy. People are wonderful, especially the GM and head waiter. They make you feel very welcome. Only complaints - no vintages on wine list, no corkage. Food and wine list is also overpriced. And while I complain about the bill every time I come here, we go back. Because the food is incredible, the people are wonderful and you feel like you’re not in Hermosa Beach, but transported to somewhere else.“
“The food here is fantastic!This is fine dining. Sophisticated dishes. Full bar. This is not a place to if you want a quick bite.This is a dining experience.Great place for birthdays.Perfect for entertaining out of town guests. Every dish is exceptional. The waiters are professional and attentive.I recommend this restaurant.“
“Excellent food and service. We don't usually drive this far for restaurants but any time we're in the neighborhood this is a must stop. Oxtail ragout gnocchi is outstanding. Especially appreciated that chef Giuseppe insisted on replacing our pasta bolognese when I asked for more sauce. The pride he shows in his work is very much appreciated. Be sure to check out the chalk board daily specials. During covid lock down we came often to take his specials home. Well worth the trip.Parking: Parking structure across the street is reasonably priced“
“My closest friends and I had the pleasure of dining at Nando in Manhattan Beach, and it surpassed all expectations.From the moment we stepped inside, we were warmly welcomed by Dario, whose hospitality set the tone for the evening. The ambiance was enchanting, with romantic lighting and a soundtrack that perfectly complemented the cozy atmosphere.Throughout our meal, the attentive staff ensured that our glasses were never empty, The Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino wine paired so wonderfully with everything. Each dish arrived at just the right moment, allowing us to savor every sip of wine and engage in conversation while relishing each beautifully presented bite.The food was nothing short of a culinary adventure. We indulged in an array of dishes including the Bruschettone, Cavoletti Ortolani, Gnoccho E Costata, Gemellu Alla Norcina, Tonno Di Venere, Pollo Parmagiana, and finished with desserts.Although I regret not capturing more moments on camera, I've included a few photos to give you a glimpse of our experience. Nando is not just a restaurant; it's an experience that's perfect for impressing guests, a romantic date, or simply treating yourself to a memorable evening. Thank you, Nando, for creating the best dining experience we've ever had. We can't wait to return.“
“Excellent service & very friendly staff - Anthony with a big smile! Food some of the best I’ve had. Paola the chef did everything perfect. Really nice is you get your choice of protein and 2 great sides; any salad, tabbouleh, basmati rice. I’ll definitely be back.“
“Mama Says Italian restaurant, conveniently located in the Rolling Hills plaza next to Whole Foods, proved to be a delightful discovery. The review praises the excellent food made to order at a reasonable price. The mixed seafood pasta ordered to-go was perfectly seasoned, with noodles cooked to the ideal texture, not overdone. The addition of the carrot soup, with its enjoyable blend of seasoning and just the right amount of cream, complemented the meal nicely. Definitely, be back to try other pasta dishes.“
“I started coming here about 4 months ago when I moved into the neighborhood. Initially for a quick slice on the go with one of my kids. Now pretty consistently getting a pie weekly. I’ve made some difficult requests and they have come through. Very good and affordable Pizza for LA. I definitely recommend!Parking: Tons of parking right outside. I usually get the spot right in front.Kid-friendliness: I bring my 1.5 year old with me and they always help accommodate to make it easy for us.“
“The food was actually incredible. They use an excessive amount of cheese while still staying behind the line of "too much", plenty of herbs sprinkled on top, good pepperoni and perfectly crunchy and thick crust. Fries were crisp and crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The restaurant was clean with ample space between tables and seats. My only complaint is the service. The employees are so nice, enthusiastic, and friendly, but they need a better system for getting food out. Too many people taking turns sending orders out, they aren't very loud people either so it's hard to listen to your order unless you're right at the counter but you don't want everyone crowding the space. If this place invested in establishing a proper organization to serving, they wouldn't ever slow down because their employees, food, and restaurant are fantastic“
“This place is close to my heart and stomach! Our family has been enjoying Appetizer turkey sandwiches for many, many years. It was a tradition for my Mom and Dad to order them for USC football games. We are continuing the tradition to this day and have also discovered their amazing pizza! So dang good. It’s always a pleasure to see them and pick up our order. They’re always smiling and happy. Love this place! Highly recommended.“
“This is the best food that I've had in months, the vegan options are wonderful and the service was super fast, I'm looking forward to coming back!Vegetarian options: The chickpea and potato combo bowl with avocado is just outrageously delicious“
“I can’t say enough about Lido! I personally love the food, atmosphere and staff. I have also had several events in the back patio area, including a monthly Kiwanis meeting, and they are always seamless. Lisa, Carlos, Javier and the rest of the team always make sure everything runs smoothly. If you are just going to dinner or throwing a party this is a great spot!“
“My grandma comes here very often and she loves the food and the service, as do I. They are always very attentive and kind, and the food is delicious and made fresh. Grandma had a dinner party for 20 last week and ordered from Giorgio’s. The food arrived steaming hot, and there was so much we had leftovers for days. All the guests loved the food. Definitely 5 star service and quality!“
“Food is consistent 90% of the time in all their locations.Nice ambiance and high ceiling. Can get a little noisy in here.I suggest doing the bomba style when ordering their pizza.I suggest ordering a plate in every category in the menu which you can share in a group of four or five people.I highly recommend reminding your server to serve any bread first. On my last visit it was served last and we were almost full with our first four plates.Plenty of parking spaces, availability is scarce.“
“I ordered a pizza to be delivered and it arrived quickly. The pizza was very good. I especially liked the thin crust. It had the perfect amount of toppings, everything was evenly distributed. It was delicious. One of the best pizzas I've had. Will definitely be ordering from ASAP again.“
“I am not a food truck fan in general. Maybe two or three times a year I go to one, but it was raining and cold and there was one at the front door so tonight was Food Truck Night, and an overcooked, overpriced burger with too many fries would be just fine.SO WHAT A THRILL TO DISCOVER ITALIA ON THE ROAD instead. The tastiest lasagna I have ever had, with a fresh salad I was too full to eat.The bread and chocolate chip canolis, which I did have time for, were good enough to write about. So I am. Wonderful dinner.Equally important if not more so, ANGELO and SOLENT, the Truck's partners in life and lasagna, were so kind and warm and genuine that my dinner experience soared to really special heightsThey are cover-model captivating, both of them; without a touch of conceit. The food tonight was exceptional, and my experience unparalleled , .in that great way when life occasionally makes the ordinary extraordinaryPeople worth knowing, food worth tasting, and a small business worth supporting. ITALIA ON THE ROAD.Dinner is served (see photo).Buon appetito.“
“Always a delicious experience, whether you are ordering a sandwich or lunch special or buying some deli items out of the case - like an antipasta salad. YUM! It gets busy during lunch time, but the line moves quickly. Try the meatball sandwich.“
“5th return Favorite weekly habit ?Pick up lunch for my senior I visit with up north. But he says it’s worth reheating, It’s simple, fresh and dollar for dollar worth it! Not to mention incredibly kind and work hard to please ! Hope they don’t have to raise prices (hint hint… no rent increases for all these local establishments El Segundo. …PLEASE??“

“Ambiance and food were good. It only took very long to get everyone's drinks. Food also took long and all came out with big gaps in between. By the time we got all our food items we where full from eating the 1st one. Then drinks came after. Not sure if they where under staffed or what was going on. No one said anything or apologized for getting food/drinks late. It would of been nice. It kind of bummed the birthday Celebration.“
“Another good gem in the world famous "gastronomysuck" aka Los Angeles.This is a very Italian place. Pizza is great but VERY thin. You'll need to order a pizza for one person and if you eat well, consider to order two.Still the flavor is like made straight from Italy.Pasta is good, but it didn't make me jump from my seat.The atmosphere is ok, not very fancy, is a huge shed.If you wanna go for a good meal, would be a good spot.Service is good.No idea why is located in an sort of industrial area. This places belong to any fancy cute commercial area.“
“I got the goddaughter sandwich on soft bread, the spicy penne pasta (that came with a piece of garlic bread) and a margherita pizza. I came to this deli because my favorite one in LB was closed and I'm so glad I did. It's menu is flavorful, fresh, and affordable. Do yourself a favor and order anything or everything off their menu. Give them some time, they make everything fresh.“
“I have been going here for years. Pizza is the best in town, the owner and staff are very nice people and it’s worth every penny because they make the most high caliber pizza that is made. There’s no skimping on toppings and the cheese is real cheese! I’m a very loyal customer and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for the best pizza in town!“
“Upscale Hermosa Beach eatery. Well executed food, nicely presented, served by an excellent staff. Space is small, so seating is limited and tight/cozy. Gets loud and boisterous in there when it's packed, but that's what's to be expected. Ahi Tuna Tower, Black Mussels, Lobster Ravioli, Chilean Seabass are standout offerings here, as well as their in-house cocktails.“
“I was there right when it opened and had the best experience, everything was perfect and definitely will be going again. For the first time everything about a place complimented everything the staff were super helpful, the food was amazing, the drinks were nice and cheap, and the atmosphere was phenomenal.“
“I was here a few months ago. We ordered the margarita pizza and the spinach ricotta ravioli. It was really delicious! There was just one staff/owner at the time and they were super warm and even helped us with suggestions. Food was very fresh and delicious!“
“Good food and nice place to dine. Our server, a very nice young man was attentive but should know the menu better. He had to ask other workers about our questions.Parking: Limited parking behind restaurant. We didn't have a problem finding parking.“
“Family brunch at Ellies was enjoyable. We sat outside and were able to have great conversation. Service was a little slow but wait was rewarded with great food. There r many options to choose. High praise for the breakfast lasagna and short ribs.“

My Uncle Olon Godare a Understudy for Sammy Davis Jr.after he lost his eye in a car accident.I helped stack the money up in the back of the armored truck.The food was excellent.I felt like I was in Italy.Tge service was impeccable.The atmosphere was full of yuppies and was so conservative and I kept thinking at one point.This Restaurant should be in Beverly Hills.The food was to die for.They gave me so much food ,I ate it for 3 days.I have not stopped thinking about this restaurant for 3 years .As of Saturday.M6 daughter and my grandson and I are going there..PLEASE MAKE THIS RESTAURANT A REGUKAR PLACE.it lifted my spirits ,brought back good memories .Uncle Frank and Uncle Sammy and Uncle dino,and Uncle Peter and Uncle Joey RIP.Thanks for yoir superior restaurant.This will not be my last time .So for all of you reading this post.Put his place on your bucket list.I can still feel the Spiritual uplift.This restaurant was good for my soul and spirit.Thanks La Pasta.Dietary restrictions: They have Chef specials .I just called and told them I wanted Artichokes Linguine Italian sausage with Green peppers and onions cooked with Olive Oil with marinara sauce.The Chefs is cooking it on Saturday .The customer was 20.00 and it is worth it.“
“Awesome place. Great prices and large portions. The chicken parmesean was excellent. Plenty of chicken, breaded nicely. And great tasting cheese and sauce mixed with pasta noodles. Came with tasty garlic bread. The other order was a Philly cheese steak sandwich. The large size. Very good as well. The owner is incredibly nice and friendly too. And the other lady that helped us with the order. All the locals go here. There were plenty of customers when we stopped by. And a short wait time as well. Definitely a place to try and return. I can't stop thinking about the experience!“
