“Really good pasta and happy service!“

“I ordered the managers special which included XL pizza and wings. I also ordered the chicken parm sub and large salad for a family dinner. Everyone commented how fresh and perfectly seasoned the food was! The BBQ chicken wings were not spicy so the kids were able to enjoy them.When I arrived to pick up my order, the salad was being freshly chopped and included plenty of dressing. Great service and food!!“

“Renato’s is a nice neighborhood Italian restaurant with a comfortable, old-school feel. It’s the kind of place that works well when you want a relaxed meal without anything too fancy.

The menu has plenty of familiar Italian favorites, including pasta, pizza, chicken, seafood, and veal dishes. The lasagna and chicken parmigiana are both filling choices, and the pizzas are good for sharing with the table.

Service is friendly, portions are generous, and the atmosphere feels welcoming. A solid Westminster spot for a casual Italian dinner with family or friends.“

“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!!“

“Wow. Our entire experience was phenomenal, from our first interaction with the hostess to walking out the door.

Chef Walter has created a robust, impressive Italian menu, and Scott, the sommelier, was fantastic. His knowledge of wine really stood out to me, and his recommendations made the dining experience that much better. He picked the perfect bottle for our specific food and occasion. He clearly knows his wine and brings a level of expertise and enthusiasm that makes you appreciate the entire dining experience even more.

Excellent food, exceptional service, and an all around memorable experience.“

“Delicious food, fantastic staff. Love the specials and the killer desserts!“

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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The best Italian food in the country!“

“Best food Round and the portions are awesome.“

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!“

“Muy bueno el servicio la comida lo mejor“

“For over a decade I have come here for Italian, eating in or takeout, and the family owners are always so nice and the food is CONSISTENTLY delicious. Great quality ingredients and always the same as the last time I got it whether it was a week ago or two years ago. Highly recommend supporting this place and its local small-venue feel.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Very good environment and 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!“

“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....“

“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.“

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

“Darling pizza shop in Naples. The team was incredibly kind and generous. Our son was having a fit over the pizza he got because he wanted cheese instead of pepperoni (his fault not theirs) and the gal at the front immediately came around to our table and fixed it by quickly getting him cheese. She did not have to do that at all and did it with no hesitation. We will continue to come back!!“

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

“Great food and live entertainment🙃🙃“
