“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.“
“Wow. I'm so beyond thrilled to have found this tiny little gem! The food is beyond delicious. Take a trip to flavortown and enjoy the ride hahahaha this place is insanely good. I got calamari and some penne russa (I think) with chicken and it came with a salad WHICH WAS ALSO SO DARN DELICIOUS. Everything was delicious. Everything was hot. The man who I believe was the owner gave me theeee best service I could ask for after a long day of work. The place looked so cute and cozy I wish I could've stayed and dined in. Found my new favorite Italian spot in Long Beach!! Thank you so much for the amazing food and service! I will definitely be back“
“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“
“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.“
“Marri's has been an institution in Long Beach for as long as I can remember. The "graffiti wall" is legendary, and I have memories of eating there a few times as a child. I was "reintroduced" to Marri's when a good friend reminded me of them nearly 30 years ago and my wife and I have been regulars ever since. The staff is always friendly, the portions are generous, and the price is more than reasonable. My wife, and several of our friends have sampled various pasta dishes, and we don't know if they're "authentic", but they're definitely amazong. As a lifelong TMMT fan, I've always been into pizza, and while I'll eat most any pizza -except those Mama Celeste ones made of paper plates and garbage - there are definitely tiers. If Pizza Hut is the equivalent of McDonalds, then Marri's is the pizza equivalent of Ruth's Chris without the price tag, or pretension. The dough isn't a cracker, or Brooklyn thin, but neither is it deep dish thick. A solid "hand-tossed" base that's just flavorful enough without being too much. Where a lotpizza is better the next day because the sauce has had time to age - Marri's sauce is perfect right out of the oven. They're toppings are fresh, flavorful, and plentiful. And, finally, they're marinara is thick, gooey, and generously heaped on top - if you're not an I like some pizza with my cheese person, like me, you won't need to worry about adding extra like you do in most places just to get adequate coverage. If you live in Long Beach, or are just visiting, and you've never been, do yourself a favor - Go see Shelly and Julio for a slice, or 12. And, if you have been there - IKYK ?“
“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.“
“I love their pizza here when they get it right, being consistent when people are spending their hard earned money is critical. Nice looking place with beautiful hanging lights. However, when the cats away, the mice will play. ? Staff can be a HUGE flip flop. Some are sweet, others if owners not around can be not so nice.And the thing is people actually care how they are treated or others around them. So room for improvement. Hope the info. Helps.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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 just came back from Chicago a week ago, and this pizza is exactly like Chicago style pizza! Their pizza crust is crispy and has such a good flavor, their marinara sauce is very thick and rich as well. DONT GET ME STARTED ON THEIR WINGSSS, THE BEST IVE EVER HAD If your craving authentic Chicago style pizza, this is the place to go!! (Service was amazing as well!)“
“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.“
“This restaurant is officially my go-to pizza place after trying it for the first time today. Gone are the days where you can find an affordable pizza without breaking the piggy bank... till I discovered Cityside Pizza Palace. Do not let the outside look of the location fool you. You need to try this pizza for yourself. They don't go light on the toppings or cheese like other pizza locations that charge you almost $30 for a pizza that costs no more than $10 altogether when buying in bulk (which every pizza place does). Their wings are also delicious and pretty huge in my opinion. I will be returning soon. You definitely get your money's worth here.“
“My dad and I stumbled upon this small family owned Italian restaurant the other day and I seriously considered sharing it cause it's such a gem. It's been around for 20 years! They serve up the most authentic Italian food I've ever tasted in California. The calzone, the authentic pasta dishes, the cozy atmosphere, the homemade desserts, and the personal touch from the owner all come together and I felt like I was having dinner in nonna's house. We had the daily special (pasta asparagus with chicken). There's no heavy sauce to duel out the flavors, everything is so savory and fresh and al dente without being sticky, I could taste each thing, the chicken, the asparagus, the tomato... Everything is made fresh everyday and perfectly cooked. The calzone was my personal favorite. The crust was perfectly crispy, and there wasn't too much of it on the edges. It was hands down the best I've ever had. Nothing feels rushed. There's a deli inside as well. The owner comes out to greet every customer personally and genuinely cares about their feedback. It's refreshing to see someone so passionate about their restaurant and the people who dine there. We got a complimentary salad with homemade dressing. For dessert we went for the cannoli, cheesecake and spumoni, but they also have tiramisu on the menu. We got some delicious coffee in a French press which was so amazing! They have a whole espresso machine for more elaborate drinks. The quality of the food you get here is unbeatable for the price and the personal touch. It's a steal, really and rare for a restaurant these days. My dad is a tough critic but loved every bite and couldn't stop raving about it“
“I've been coming to this place since they opened. I was one of their first customers when they were at their old spot just around the way from where they are now. That place was bigger. Doesn't matter, Milana's has the best pizza in Long Beach.Parking: Free parking for 2 hours“
“Now you see it, now you don't ... because it's all in my belly. Nothing better than freshly made pasta and sauce. Ate this up in less than 10 minutes, probably 5 minutes, but I don't want you to judge me. LOL. Tagliatelle Bolognese, Mmmm good!“
“This was one of my favorite Italian restaurants 9 years ago. I revisited them recently and the food was outstanding. Extremely authentic. We ordered the vegetarian pizza and the alfredo pasta and it was excellent. Super friendly employees and great service. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great food!“
“Upon my initial visit to this establishment, I was immediately captivated by the interior aesthetics. The decorations were truly impressive, and the cleanliness of the place was commendable. Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional customer service provided by an employee named Raven. She made me feel incredibly welcome and was remarkably easy to converse with, as if we had known each other for years despite having just met that day. Since our interaction, I have been a consistent patron of this establishment. Even if I were not a local resident, I would willingly make the drive to this location in order to enjoy the company of others and, of course, to see Raven on the days she works.Now, let's discuss David, the manager. He, too, possesses remarkable customer service skills and always ensures that I feel welcome and attended to whenever he is present. I must also commend the owner, Mike, for the outstanding job he has done in creating this place. The entire process of its inception is truly commendable, as it has provided the community with a wonderful space to enjoy their meals and the company of their loved ones.I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking a welcoming and comfortable environment. Personally, I often opt for their sausage and mushroom pizza, which never fails to satisfy. Although I have yet to try their burgers, they are next on my list. I did, however, sample their spicy wings, which unfortunately did not appeal to my taste. Nevertheless, the rest of the menu is consistently excellent. Each time I visit, I have the opportunity to meet new people, further enhancing the sense of belonging and homeliness this place offers. Additionally, the music selection is superb, further adding to the overall enjoyable experience.“
“Omg the food was so good. The servings are huge if you decide to do the regular size. There was this rice soup I had and it definitely hit the spot. They were so quick to serve us and very friendly staff! Thank you for the wonderful meal. ❤️“
“We ordered and were amazed and pleased at the food's taste and quality ?. Everyone will find something here they like. The meatballs were huge. The sausages tender and the pasta cooked perfect. 100% real Italian sauce. A huge, delicious, and perfectly cooked cheese calzone. Finally, supurb customer service.“
“I have been a client for a longtime and even if we have lots of other options to dine in Long Beach and our surrounding cities I always chose Michael's because service is outstanding and the food never disappoints. Love the atmosphere all around . If we want white table dinning we have indoor option and when we want a little casual we can use the rooftop dining. It's my favorite places to eat . I recommend it .“
“1st time 2/21/24 was greeted upon entry. They knew I had never been there and they asked they were gladly to help. Was given a meatball sample which was pretty good since I rarely eat meatballs it's just in my head. I order the 2- Chicken Cheese Steak, one with provolone cheese and the other with cheez whiz both were good. They had a special that day $13.95 6 inch with chips and a drink.“
“IT WAS MY FIRST TIME ORDERING FROM HERE. MOST DEFINITELY THE BEST PIZZA IVE HAD SINCE MOVING DOWN THIS WAY. IT WAS DELIVERED FAST AND HOT. WINGS WAS COOKED WELL DONE LIKE ASKED N THE FLAVOR OF THE PIZZA WAS INCREDIBLE. MOST DEFINITELY 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“
“My go to place for a sit down neighborhood pizza joint! Just don't sleep on the wings! Always meaty wings and super saucy if that's your thing! Antipasto salad really good here but this salad always makes me smile when I see the pickles in it!“
“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!“
