“We had a big group lunch at the patio of this restaurant and everything was perfect. The owner and staff helped us to arrange a warm and cozy get-together with nice atmosphere, good food selection, best service and reasonable price. It's our favorite Italian restaurant in the neighborhood and we strongly recommend this place.“

“The seafood pasta was excellent and the service is always fantastic.“

“This is genuinely the best Italian restaurant me and my wife have ever been to and probably the best meal we have ever had. The calamari is the best we have ever had and the side salads were amazing with the house vineagrette. The fettuccine with lobster and the chicken parmigiana were absolutely amazing. We finished with a canoli and it was the best we have ever had. The atmosphere was really nice and the service was top notch. Our waitress would refill drinks within seconds of them being even close to empty and empty dishes were picked up almost immediately. For all of this you would expect a hefty price tag but all of that food was under $85. We will 100% be going back!“

“My husband and I came to Disneyland for our anniversary. We were looking for a place near our hotel and this did not disappoint. The atmosphere was fabulous and serving staff was great. Our food was AMAZING and we had soo much. We brought food back to the hotel and they gave us plates to take with us. Definitely one of our new favorites and will be coming back when we visit“

“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.“

“You know sometimes the stars just align. It's my birthday and Olive garden is running a free delivery promotion. I also just so happen to have a $25 gift card so I ordered myself a little something something for dinner. In my notes I asked if I could have some extra breadsticks because it was my birthday. (Because obviously we know that two breadsticks is never going to cut it.) In addition to giving me four breadsticks, they also wrote happy birthday and drew on my bag! Sometimes it's a little things in life that really mean the most. Thank you Olive Garden for making my birthday dinner awesome.“

“Wonderful place! Very helpful staff and warm customer service. They've been a family favorite since the 60s. They never disappoint.“

“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.“

“I ordered here for the first time yesterday. I’ve always picked up orders to deliver for customers and the food always smelled good. I finally gave it a try and I must say I’ll definitely be back lol.“

“been ordering for 4 yrs love there menu good prices happy they deliver“

“Aren’t too many good places around Frederick but Ricci’s is in the top 5. Great food. Always fresh and delish! Best time to go is when Tristan (and his brother) and Roxanne are behind the bar. Good food great drinks, great time!!!“

“love the food and service is great“

“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....“

“We hadn't been to OG in a while, and to celebrate a friend's birthday we chose there for the convenience.
The service wasn't great. Waters and sodas weren't refilled and empty plates sat on the table a long time.
The bread sticks came out cool rather than hot and fresh.
When we needed the waiter he was hard to find.
Then a new waiter took over and the old one never said goodbye.

Though the 2nd waiter wss good. We asked to take the last of our salad home and he just gave us a whole new salad to go. That was very cool.
And the chocolate birthday cake they sent over was outstanding.“

“It’s just a fun place to meet friends and have a good meal.“

“In celebration of My Lady birthday. The service was beyond expectation. The servers were kind, joyful, attentive and respectful. The food was brought to the table fresh, hot, and to the person who ordered it. The price was well in reach. We Gad an grantastic time.“

“So we were waiting for a table and decided to sit at the bar and have a couple of drinks. The ambiance was nice. Service in the beginning at the bar was not, however... Waited about 8-10 min (someone did say they would be with us but then proceeded to go to the back and move around the bar checking on other patrons). My husband decided to get up and grab us a menu. Finally Dan (1 of the 4 bartenders/barbacks asked us what we wanted). He was lovely, attentive, and had wonderful suggestions. He made a fabulous old-fashioned and pomegranate mule. We at the ricotta cavatelli, spicy broccolini, and heirloom tomato burrata. The food was delicious (one of the best meals we have had in a while, the flavors were perfect 👌.“

“Very nice atmosphere, delicious food, in a family-owned restaurant! Loved it and will definitely be back!“

“We have been coming to Luigi’s for about 20 years and it never disappoints. My husband always gets chicken parm and I get the Tortillini D’ Angelo and it is amazing. The pizza is also great. You won’t be disappointed. Great food, good service and prices.“
