50 Best Italian Restaurants near Paramount

“The restaurant has authentic Italian cuisine and atmosphere!“

“The torpedos are incredible“

“It's not a cheap date, but it's a nice one. Skip the famous Caesar salad that's not even an Italian thing. Wines are great, the pastas are good. Loud acoustics, high energy, tons of staff. Only one asked us if we wanted another glass of wine. It is a different setup, counter service and table service combo. Ordered and paid and tipped before we were even sat. Wine bar gave you tastings of any wines you wanted to try so that adds a lot to the experience.“

“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!“

“Giuseppina is such a gem! My husband and I found out about her when she first started setting up shop around LB, but she really found a loyal community in Belmont Shore.

Having traveled to and lived in Italy, I can safely say her food is truly Italian made and the arancini are just like I had when in Italy. She is kind, hardworking, and simply wants everyone to enjoy her cooking. Hope to see her open her own restaurant someday!“

“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.“

“Food is always good. Entertainment is fantastic.“

“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!“

“Franco's is a wonderful place to go and support. The staff is always friendly, food is always great, and they are open for lunch on the weekend! Pizza is great. Sauce has a fantastic flavor, dough is fresh and cooked just right. All of the pasta dishes are done right, and the chicken parm is the best!“

“Awesome Place to Eat Italian food“

“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.“

“First time here. Guess we picked a bad day to try it as it was exceptionally busy at 1.30 pm. We had to wait 40 minutes for three sandwiches. On the plus side the food was very good. The chicken philly sandwich was fresh and tasty. The server was very friendly and helpful 😃👍🏼“

I didn't think anyone could compare to him!
Well lo and behold... We're back again!
This time we had the pleasure of having ZULI as our server...
I just have to say, Jesus, you have competition!!
Zuli was excellent as well...
Thank you for the great service.“

“The food at Olive Garden was pretty good, but the real reason this visit stood out was our waitress, Catherine.

From the moment we sat down, she treated us with a level of kindness and genuine empathy that you rarely come across. It never felt like she was simply doing her job. You could tell she truly cared about making sure we had a great experience. She noticed the little things before we even had to ask, checked in at just the right times, and somehow made us feel like we were her only table even though the restaurant was busy.

Great service is about much more than getting orders right. It is about making people feel welcomed, valued, and cared for. Catherine did exactly that. Her warmth and sincerity turned an ordinary dinner into something we will genuinely remember. People like her are the reason customers return.

The meal was enjoyable, but it is Catherine’s exceptional hospitality that we will be talking about long after we have forgotten what we ordered. She represents everything you hope for when you go out to eat. Olive Garden is incredibly fortunate to have someone with her level of professionalism, compassion, and dedication. It is hard to imagine anyone leaving her table without a smile.

Thank you, Catherine, for making our night so much better than we expected. You made us feel like guests instead of customers, and that is something that cannot be taught.“

“This is a busy restaurant and sometimes service is a bit slow. That being said the overall experience is great. Expect good food and great cocktails with very pleasant atmosphere and staff. We dine here a few times a month and really enjoy it.“

“My family and I visited North Italia on May 25th, (yeah I'm late). We only waited about 15 minutes to be seated, and from that point on, everything was fantastic.

A huge thank you to our server, Nick, who was truly exceptional! Since it was our first time dining here, we asked for his suggestions, and his recommendations for our appetizers, entrees, drinks, and desserts was absolutely amazing. We were so impressed by his professionalism and attentive service; we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

At the end of our meal, the manager stopped by to check on us, and we made sure to let her know how much we enjoyed the food and how stellar Nick was. She was so appreciative of the feedback that she even gave us a coupon for a free dessert for our next visit. We will definitely be returning soon!“

“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....“

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

“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.“

“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 🍕🔥“

“VERY DELICIOUS PIZZA 🍕 I LOVE 💕 IT“

“Stopped in based solely on the reviews and grabbed two pies and some cheesy garlic bread. Both were fantastic. The garlic bread was soft, chewy, cheesy and buttery. The crust and the sauce on the pies were delicious and the toppings were fresh and tasty. Highly recommend.“
