“The torpedos are incredible“

“Came here on a whim for a solo date. My server, Logan - was incredibly knowledgeable about wine and helped me choose an amazing seafood pasta off the menu. At first I wasn’t sure about the squid ink, but it was probably one of the best pastas I have ever eaten. The affogato for dessert was delicious as well.

Side note: They were playing cool music, early Black Sabbath off Vol. 4 🤘🏼

I will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Today Is My Wife's Birthday And For The VERY First Time Olive Garden In Downey Was At Its Best! EVERYTHING Was Perfect! I Sure Hope It Stays This Way, The Time Over And Over! Thank You For Making Her Birthday Lunch/Dinner GREAT! ❤️“

“It was a Sunday evening (4/5/26), and my family of three came in for dinner. Even though the restaurant was busy, the atmosphere was still very pleasant and welcoming.

Our waiter, Ben, was attentive, professional, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. George, the manager, was also very kind and approachable. He consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, which made us feel truly valued as customers.

It’s so nice to see a restaurant that still takes the time to care about their guests and provide such great service. Experiences like this are what every family should receive when dining out.

Thank you so much, George and Ben, for always giving my family the best service—we truly appreciate it!

“The place can get a little busy when the mall is busy but totally worth the wait if you want good food and drinks. I recommend the Crispy Eggplant Parmesan, Grilled Bread & Good Olive Oil and the Yellowtail Crudo. Super delicious and great starters!“

“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....“

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

“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.“

“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“

You’re greeted from the moment you walk thru the door , and a smile and thank you on the way out !! Whether you’re dining alone or with friends give this place a try !!you won’t be disappointed“

“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.“

“At the moment you come to this restaurant the waiters give you a great feeling. Very congenial team, it is a good restaurant to enjoy with buddies or with your date. delightful cooking, specialist chief cook and stuff, honest price and attentive service. Warmly recommended.“

“I was craving some Za this weekend and found this spot across the street from Little Cesar's. I decided to give them a shot and was not let down.

I ordered Calzones one Pepperoni one Italian Sausage. Both of them were great very cheesy with thick crust and a good balance of sauce, dough, and meat.

I placed a pickup order over the phone and the girl that took my order was very helpful and said it would be ready in 15 minutes. When I scooped up my order they packed it generously with napkins, utensils, and two sauces (one Ranch and one Marinara)

Overall very satisfied and will definitely be coming back here!“

“buen servicio y la comida riquísima 😋“

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

“Today's experience in this restaurant was from bad to awsome starting from our waiter/server don't know the guy but had a real bad attitude constantly makeing faceses like if he was upset or angry us my family of 3 and noticed that he was very joyful with other people but with us has a bad attitude and that's before we started to order we just got there and got our seat to eat. Me personally If we still had that same waiter/server If I could I would give no stars for the service

But the manager stepped in and gave me the best service same thing with the other servers a male and a female with a pink sweater thanks to them I give this place a high rating and would bring my family again

Regardless that bad attitude of the guy who attended us
My recommendation if employee are in a bad mood or haveing a bad day it's never good to mix house problems/personal problems with work because to me olive garden it's a family restaurant

But thank you to the manager and the 2 addition servers that help us and gave us the best experience 👍

Keep up the great work for the people that give the best customer service

And for the people that are upset or angry please 🙏 keep the personal problems at home/ to your self because people are here to eat/enjoy/spend time with there family“

“Had a delicious Supreme sandwich so delicious also had broccoli salad and macaroni salad 😋 so delicious ❤️“

“If you’re in the mood for authentic Italian cuisine, look no further than Buongiorno Pizza and Pasta! This charming restaurant has quickly become my go-to spot for delicious meals that provide the ultimate comfort.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The menu features a delightful mix of classic Italian dishes, but the pizza truly steals the show. I ordered the Margherita pizza, and it was perfection—thin, crispy crust, fresh tomato sauce, and melty mozzarella that made every bite a joy.

I also tried the fettuccine Alfredo, which was creamy and rich, and the Bolognese sauce was equally satisfying. Overall, Buongiorno Pizza and Pasta is a must-visit for anyone craving comforting, delicious Italian food!“

“Neat appearance and delicious food“
