“非常棒的意大利风味，美味的意面和披萨“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“My wife has had a recent surgery and needed extra help Mr. Herrera when we first got there and Josh immediately helped her got seated and we're excellent. Josh and Mark handled our dinner there are a lot of fun and we are very happy to meet them . And my wife and I had a beautiful night.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“absolutely fantastic food and service“

“Gorgeous! Love it already. Beautiful displays, plenty of specialty variety, lots of plant based brands, large fresh to go options, and I want to eat the bread cabinet.... Being the 365 line, the prices are more reasonable, similar to Sprouts. Granted I went to the Grand Opening but I hope the vibe, the friendliness, and the ample freshness continue. Will be dropping by again soon.“

“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“

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

“They have the most amazing Pizza awesome ribs the wings are so good the potato wedges are one of my favorite they're good with the wings and the ribs and the pizza their pastas are amazing their subs are amazing I would have to say that everything that I've gotten from here has been above satisfactory the workers are very courteous and I've never gotten any order wrong the delivery drivers are awesome you definitely need to check them out make sure to try the potato wedges and the ribs“

“We stopped by Valentino's Pizza and wow… this place completely blew us away. The pizza was 1000% pure deliciousness, crispy, flavorful crust, perfectly balanced sauce, and just the right amount of toppings. Every bite hit.

The real test was my daughter she’s very picky and she absolutely loved it, which says everything. That alone makes this spot a win in my book. What really surprised me is that we’ve been to the Valentino’s in Santa Fe Springs, and honestly, it doesn’t even come close to this location. This one is on a whole different level.

From the taste to the texture, this is easily one of the best pizzas I’ve had. You can tell they take pride in what they’re making. The only downside? I just wish it was closer because we’d be here all the time.

Can’t wait to swing by again if you’re anywhere near Long Beach or Naples Island, this spot is a must 🍕🔥“

“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.“

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

Tony , the GM, welcomed us after we're seated, and our servers Jesse and Lu, were outstanding throughout the entire meal. So it was great food, great service, and a great atmosphere.

“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“

“I had an amazing experience at Rezzini! The pizza was absolutely authentic, with a perfectly crisp crust, fresh ingredients, and incredible flavor in every bite. You can really tell they care about quality and tradition.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better.

If you’re looking for real Italian pizza made with passion, Rezzini is definitely a place you should try. Highly recommended—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The staff was very accommodating and respectful and let me relax and enjoy my pizza and beer before squaring up with the bill to which i responded to by leaving a nice tip. I go there once every other week or so and am always glad to have chosen their establishment.“

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

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

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

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

“Food is great! Cure spot for a brunch but I would not do the breakfast buffet as its not worth the price. Stick to the ala carte menu. The avocado toast is great. Service is a bit slow but I think thats because they’re understaffed.“

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

“Best pizza in Long Beach!“

“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?“

“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.“

“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.
