49 Best Italian Restaurants in Long Beach

“非常棒的意大利风味，美味的意面和披萨“

“Dare I say, our new favorite restaurant in Long Beach?! Due Fiori has become one of our absolute favorite spots in town! The vibe is perfect the moment you walk in. Warm, welcoming, and the kind of place where you instantly feel taken care of. We love sitting at the bar!

The Caesar salad is hands down one of the best I have ever had. Fresh, crisp, and full of flavor and loads of parm. The bread is incredible and their homemade pasta is the real standout though. They know flavor!! I am Italian, live in Italy as well and these guys are killing it here!

If you want a great night out with amazing food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere, go to Due Fiori. It has become our go to spot. You will not be dissapointed!“

“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!!“

“We made reservations that went from a two couple dinner to a 5 couple dinner. We work weekends and did not notice they closed only 45 min after our reservation. They treated us great, we had the place to our selves for the duration of our dinner and it was honestly so special. I could not be more appreciative of the whole crew there. We had fantastic food and drinks. I highly recommend this place to anyone. I mean hell, we drove an hour away for it.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Exceptional Italian Dining I had an absolutely unforgettable experience at L'Opera Italian Restaurant. From the moment we sat down, everything was perfect. Even the table bread stood out — warm, incredibly soft, and so fresh it practically melted in your mouth. It set the tone for an amazing meal. We started with the burrata, which was unbelievably creamy and paired beautifully with the tomatoes and seasonings. It was fresh, flavorful, and one of the best burrata plates I've had anywhere. The lasagna with vodka sauce was the highlight of the night. The layers were tender, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the vodka sauce had the ideal balance of richness and flavor without being heavy. You can taste the quality in every bite. The ravioli was just as impressive — perfectly cooked, generously filled, and served with a sauce that complemented it perfectly. Everything tasted homemade, authentic, and crafted with care. The service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance was elegant yet comfortable. The staff checked in at the right times and made the experience feel special without being intrusive. Overall, everything exceeded my expectations. L'Opera is officially one of my new favorite Italian restaurants. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for amazing food, great service, and a memorable dining experience“

“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.“

“I love Ellie’s they are my neighborhood spot! I always take friends and recommend to people visiting. Not only is the food absolutely delicious but the staff is amazing. The coffee house down the block doesn’t allow dogs in and I like to grab a coffee for our morning walks and they always take care of us! Thank you so much for contributing to our neighborhood and food scene 🤍🤍🤍“

“Such a beautiful time dinning out with my wife. The atmosphere is charming the food is amazing . We had an incredible time very authentic Mediterranean food. We truly recommend this place 👌“

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

“The tiramisu was amazing. The wait staff brought one for my cousins birthday.“

“Love, love, love this place!“

“Been enjoying everything since I was 5 great food and better service love it“

“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 have kicked this place up a notch! Thank you for the care you give to your meals & your customers. Oh the pita pizzas 😋😋😋“

“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“

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

“Outstanding food and wine!! Thank you, Lorenzo!“

“Everything in here is excellent!!! Super yummy food, great service, I recomend this restaurant 1000%“

“Wow!!! The first thing you notice is how beautiful the high ceilings are and how lovely everything is decorated. It doesn’t feel stuffy, just very nice. It’s a lowkey elegant place to go even if you’re not a guest at the hotel. The second thing you notice is how incredibly happy the staff seem to be to work there. Everybody is so friendly and inviting. We decided to come here for our anniversary. Claire remembered us from being at the bar in the morning! She greeted us with a warm smile and was beyond helpful in making sure we got the best table in the restaurant - and also making sure the waiter comped our dessert. Then Mario, our server extended the generosity and offered us two free drinks without a second thought. He was so attentive and helpful all night. Every person who stopped by our table made us feel special and welcome - whether they knew it was our anniversary or not. Lastly, THE FOOD. Oh. My. Goodness. Even what may seem like a common or simple dish was out of this world. We had the bone marrow to start. It came with delicious bread and we were smiling from ear to ear from the flavors. Then we had tagliatelle bolognese and eggplant parmigiana. The bolognese was made with fresh house-made pasta which seemed like it melted in our mouths. I don’t know what kind of olive oil they used, or how they made the eggplant texture so perfect, but the eggplant parm was our favorite dish. We almost licked the plates clean! The tiramisu came last and it was the absolute best I’ve ever had. The coffee flavor was amazing. I was so stuffed by then, but we still ate every last crumb. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience - I’m sure we will be back!

I don’t want to write a whole separate review for their breakfast/brunch, but we did have the lobster eggs Benedict (sooooooo good - PACKED with fresh, perfectly-cooked lobster) and the Greek yogurt and fruit. The yogurt was decadent and whipped and the fruit was fresh and sweet. Francisco behind the bar was so kind - and also comped our brunch drinks when he found out we were celebrating!! 💕“

“absolutely fantastic food and service“

“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. Beer list is thoughtful. Wife REALLY enjoyed her Anderson Valley Rose wine with the Lamb dish Bottom line: this cafe is worth supporting. Thanks for setting up shop in Coastal Long Beach- Naples“

“Great atmosphere live music on Wednesday“

“They stopped by my apartment complex this past weekend and I was lucky enough to give it a try. It was honestly great and I was surprised to see that they have a unique presentation of a dish that I am very familiar with already. They have many great options on the menu, but we chose the pizza pocket because it sounded unique and it’s similar to how I eat a slice of pie anyway. We chose the pepperoni pocket and thought it was fantastic. All the flavors were well balanced, and it was a good sized portion. It also came with a side salad and overall, we just really enjoyed it. It was also made very fast so we did not have to wait very long and the staff was very friendly. Being that it is a food truck they did not really have a seating area, but it was already at my apartment so I was just getting to go. I would definitely recommend and if I see them again, I will certainly give it another try.“

“From appetizers to pizza to pasta, you can't go wrong! We went with another couple and shared the gnocco fritto (which was a hit), meatballs, two pizzas (Diavola with burrata and Caserta), the tagliatelle verdi al pesto, and fritelle di Frankie. Everybody loved the food. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Dined here this evening. We enjoyed some Cocktails to start then ordered Beef Tartare, Shrimp with Veg and Roasted Carrots. Entrees varied from Pasta to Ribeye steak and Burger. All delicious. The Carbonara needed more bacon but that was the only issue. Desserts were great. The Espresso wasn’t hot enough for my guest but overall we enjoyed the evening celebrating a birthday. Will recommend to my friends for sure. Would recommend a reservation as it was very busy by the time we left at 6.30 pm“

“Everything I've had here has been amazing! The pizza sauce is my new favorite.“

“Excellent food. Fast delivery.“

“it is a good little place the staff are nice and the sub sandwiches are humongous and delicious“

“Excellent Food and Service“

“Fresh, delicious. Some of the best brown butter & sage sauce I’ve had in a while.“

“Closest thing to authentic NY pizza that you can find here in Long Beach. Delicious food, friendly staff. Highly recommended.“

“Wonderful service, Delicious coffee, and fabulous assortment of bagels and pastries ... bonus is the outside lounge area its very relaxing and clean place ....“

“Best meatballs in town. The owner is awesome and the cooks are great ! !“

“We are so thankful that Stacked Pasta was able to accommodate a Christmas party of 20-30 people in such short notice. We had about a week or so to plan. Their staff and catering team are professional, prompt, and hospitable. They included different dressings for the salad, tasty pasta, and wonderful service.

Dietary restrictions: We had a catered dinner. We had expected about 20 people but were able to feed much more. Immediately upon serving the food we received compliments on the Penne Alfredo with Chicken and the wonderful array of pastas. Next time, we’ll see if they have zucchini or cauliflower pasta.

Kid-friendliness: The kids absolutely adored the pasta. In fact, after the Holiday dinner, we had to STOP them from asking for leftovers because they ate it all“

“The best pizza I ever had wish I have a bigger stomach to eat the whole medium deluxe 😋“

“Me parece espectacular lo probe y me encanto te lo recomiendo es delicioso los pizza stix.�“

“After being on a fast for 6 months no carbs I came here and almost are a whole large pizza by myself! The pizza was phenomenal loaded with mushrooms and olives. So good. They have alot of family meals and very kind staff. Highly recommended oh and they do thoer own delivery!“

“Thanks to my Daughter, I just visited n fell in love with your place!!!“

“Best pizza in Long Beach!“

“Everything in here is excellent!!! Super yummy food, great service, I recomend this restaurant 1000%“

“Carry out pizza place. The pizzas are loaded with toppings. There are two garden tables out front for dining in; so take your pizza home. Be careful! We ordered and paid online and once I picked up my pizza they tried to charge me again. Simple mistake or scam, IDK?“

“Incredible service, amazing food, and fair prices!“

“Just an FYI, most of these negative reviews seem to be for Michael's main restaurant next door, not the cafe.
Amazing sandwiches. Meat is sliced to order, dressing and bread are super fresh and the salads are amazing. Decent prices on homemade to go sauces as well. And don't sleep on the espresso!“

“Though a pizza place, their lunch meal deal of soda, wedges and either a hamburger or hot dog is a great deal and great quality for the price. It's hard to find any meal around here for under $10, so happy to have found one that also tastes delicious.“

“So worth the price and the craving for Italian food. Is it luxury? No but they deliver you good Italian food. Their ravioli with Alfredo sauce and grilled chicken was delicious. Their portions are great for the size and their prices are amazing. You won't be getting delicious Italian food for that price and that quality anywhere else. Hope to order more with them. Their garlic bread was delicious too.“

“Omg, soooo good. I have been wanting to try this great special they have...2 HUGE slices and a can of soda for $5.50!!
The pizza tastes so good! Just the right distribution of sauce and cheese
Great crust.

I highly recommend this special..I don't think it can be beat! )plus there is a taste freeze I the same compex so you can get a dipped cone for dessert! A hard win in my opinion.“

“The world needs more "Alejandras." Sadly we all live in a time where service and manners are optional. My son was born with a heart problem, but had a very normal life until March 2020. Since then, we have rarely been able to leave our apartment safely. He got covid 1 time in 2022 at the dentist, and now we live in a long covid nightmare. We have to have everything delivered. No dining out, no movie theaters, and I've gone from Nurse to homeschool Teacher indefinitely, which has cut our income in half.

We love the food here and order weekly. Some confusion with a delivery app caused me to call the restaurant a couple nights ago. I have developed low expectations for most services over the last 5 years, so Alejandra was a surprise. I was having a bad day and was in tears over a salad. Yes a salad ?. Alejandra was joyful, kind and gave me a few options to fix situation. She never raised her voice, never assigned blame, never made me feel silly, which I'm sure I sounded silly over Salad-Gate. She is a Rockstar in my book and I hope her attitude toward people rubs off on the world around her.
I'd give her a raise for being Awesome, its rare these days.

Thank you Alejandra, you're one of a kind.
