“My second time visiting this great establishment. Once again, the pizza and all that they serve is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! I had some caprese , burata, Fior Di Latte and the Vespa Pizza along with a Limonata Rosa. Our Service Yadira was amazing and very attentive. She was very helpful with any questions we had. Thank you Yadira and all the staff at Fuoco. Definitely my favorite Pizza!!! See you soon!“

“非常棒的意大利风味，美味的意面和披萨“

“Five Stars for having Angel Hair Pasta on the menu! Meat sauce marinara or, Bollinese!
It's what they do often, that's good. However, the Chicken Marsala was off. :More training needed in the kitchen. The Lasagna was cold on the inside, and had a strange flavor about it that I'm not familiar with. And, it had Spinach in it. I thought that too was... different. Not particularly appealing, to me. Your pro tip is to; tell them how you like your pasta cooked. I like mine well done. Super soft and luxurious. Love that. Best of luck Renato's. Hope you're around for another 44 plus years!“

“I had forgotten why I haven't been here for a while. The problem a lot of people have is it is so dark and dingy inside. So annoying having to get phones out to read the menu. The fairy lights are cute and romantic but can you not put a candle or lamps on the tables so we can see what we're ordering and what we're eating please. I had the pasta less chicken dish which I've had before. The chicken was very dry this time and the meal could do with extra sauce on it. It's a shame because this place is good and the staff are okay. Our group of 8 Will come back again when the electric bill has been paid .“

“2nd time here! Food was fantastic...again! Our server Tyler was fabulous!!! Happy Birthday to me!!“

“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“

“Food is always good. Entertainment is fantastic.“

“I love this place!! There food is absolutely amazing, as is their customer service! Recommend the mushrooms for an appetizer and bread pudding for dessert!!“

“Went on a Saturday night, so was expecting a wait. Totally worth it though.
Everything we had was delicious-- meatballs, arugula salad, chicken dish, and rigatoni.
Servers were very pleasant and easy going. A small restaurant with big flavors and a nice family vibe.“

“Best food Round and the portions are awesome.“

“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!“

“Delicious food & heart-warming memories ... that's what Marri's is for me. I have enjoyed their pizza from 1980 (on LB Blvd) through the 90's (in Anaheim), to now (on Palo Verde)... I am ordering now as I write this review (haha). Speaking as a 60-ish Mom/Grandma, I want to say thank you for generational memories. This family will always be your greatest fans!“

“Ambiance is perfect for all occasions, food is delicious with weekly specials! Martini Thursday is my fav!! Eat Italian here, you won’t be disappointed especially when you can take a stroll on the beach before/after. Cheers!“

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

“Absolutely delicious, we came last night after a whole hour of trying to figure out what to eat and the Godmother did not disappoint. We had the cannoli, the arancini, and the lemon pasta and omg it was so good. Try new things, be open to experiences and you’ll find a spot like The Godmother Sicilian Comfort Food in your backyard.

ALSO Angie san who gave a three star review, you don’t like anything you haven’t given anything a five star review that isn’t a parking lot lol.“

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

“Mouthwatering and delicious food!!“

“Came with my follow veg friend and we had a lovely evening. We shared a few plates - patate e pesto, pizza montanara, and caccio pasta. Of all, the pizza montanara was my absolute fave - simple fresh ingredients… but the crust here is phenomenal! The pasta was not my personal fave, but I’ll be back for pizza.
There was only 1 server/host/busser and she was BUSY so even though there were open seats it took a while to be seated. Not a suitable place if you’re in any sort of rush but if you have the time to sit and enjoy, I highly recommend!
Big thanks to Paul too for your hospitality, congrats on this project!“

“Writing this review while absolutely devouring the best pizza I’ve ever had!! 🍕❤

I just got back from New York, and I’m not even kidding when I say this beats every pizza I had there.

I’ve been coming here for almost 3 years now, and it will forever be one of my favorite restaurants. Everything is SO flavorful. The chef seriously has magic hands because I have yet to order something that isn’t delicious.

I travel a ton, and whenever I’m back in town, this is always the first place I want to stop. The second I walk through the door, it feels like home. ❤

Forever a favorite!!“

“Most comprehensive selection of reasonably priced imported cheeses. The service at the deli counter in the market has been amazing both times I've shopped in the market. Yes, I drive 15 miles for their selection when making fine Italian food 🇮🇹“

“Kristi, with a K, is the best.“

“Was in town and wanted to try this place out, when I got there they told me they were only serving a Monday service menu. I was pretty upset because I wanted to try out the pasta but still went ahead and ordered and ate. All I can say is WOW! The food was amazing with great flavor! I would definitely recommend. It was my fault for not being aware of the Monday menu but I was still blown away.“

“Very good environment and food!“

“Great food and service and prices“

“Truly a hidden gem. Several levels of dining space combined with the big fireplace gives the restaurant a unique ambiance. The food was superb, incredible pasta. There was a live pianist playing that made the evening even more memorable. As it often happens with places like this, service was impeccable.“

He was super friendly, attentive, and really helpful when answering my questions about the menu. Everything came out fast, and he made the whole experience feel welcoming and enjoyable. The food was just as good as I remembered too. Huge thanks to Kevin for making it such a great night! Will be coming back for those delicious breadsticks!“

“Lunch (Brunch) Saturday June 8 Been reading many glowing reviews ..R they deserved ? If all dishes as flavorful as the Lamb” Secco” Then YES Not cheap , but If I am spending $40-50 person ,the food had Better taste like this. Also good: basic Margherita Pizza.
