“服務員態度親切，讓客人覺得溫馨“

“What a fantastic discovery. I was craving calzones and used to have a spot in Los Feliz which I would go out of my way for. After trying a few places which fell short of the mark in South Bay, I almost gave up on finding authentic Italian food locally. The search was worth it as this is now going to be one of my forever places to come on a regular basis. From the calzone, to the pizza, salads and even the Cannoli Siciliani Pistacchio, everything has been nothing short of amazing. To top it off, it’s family run and they are all the sweetest and most warm people I’ve encountered at any local restaurant. If you haven’t tried them yet, you need to stop by.“

“Taverna is incredible, and the service is top-notch. The staff is highly skilled, which you don’t see often in LA. As someone who has traveled extensively across Italy, I can honestly say this is authentic Italian cuisine. After nearly four years in Los Angeles, I’m so happy to have finally found true, delicious, and flawless Italian food.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Exceptional Italian Dining I had an absolutely unforgettable experience at L'Opera Italian Restaurant. From the moment we sat down, everything was perfect. Even the table bread stood out — warm, incredibly soft, and so fresh it practically melted in your mouth. It set the tone for an amazing meal. We started with the burrata, which was unbelievably creamy and paired beautifully with the tomatoes and seasonings. It was fresh, flavorful, and one of the best burrata plates I've had anywhere. The lasagna with vodka sauce was the highlight of the night. The layers were tender, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the vodka sauce had the ideal balance of richness and flavor without being heavy. You can taste the quality in every bite. The ravioli was just as impressive — perfectly cooked, generously filled, and served with a sauce that complemented it perfectly. Everything tasted homemade, authentic, and crafted with care. The service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance was elegant yet comfortable. The staff checked in at the right times and made the experience feel special without being intrusive. Overall, everything exceeded my expectations. L'Opera is officially one of my new favorite Italian restaurants. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for amazing food, great service, and a memorable dining experience“

The coffee house down the block doesn’t allow dogs in and I like to grab a coffee for our morning walks and they always take care of us! Thank you so much for contributing to our neighborhood and food scene 🤍🤍🤍“

“I absolutely ? love everything!!!
Giorio's Has been one of my favorites places to enjoy a great meal for over 10 years.... let it be for lunch or dinner.
The consistency in how thoroughl the food, service and atmosphere truly is you will definitely never be disappointed!!!
Today is my Birthday Oct 16th 2024 and I will definitely be on my way... as a part of celebrating my special day it's definitely on my list of things I love to do!!!“

“Heard about the newly opened IL Posta from our daughter, so we decided to check it out for a weekday lunch. They’ve got a solid lunch menu with special prices, and on Tuesdays you even get a free drink — nice little perk.

We tried a couple of pastas and they came out well. The pasta itself had a nice al dente bite, which I really appreciate. The Alfredo sauce was the star — creamy, cheesy, and just right. The vodka sauce leaned a little on the sour side, but still tasty overall. We also shared a flatbread; flavor was fine but I wished the crust had more crispiness to it.

Service was responsive and friendly, and parking was easy with plenty of street options nearby. Overall, a good new addition to the Riviera Village dining scene — looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu.“

“Fabulous restaurant in an elegant old style European decor. really miss it now that I no longer live in Long Beach“

“Such a beautiful time dinning out with my wife. The atmosphere is charming the food is amazing . We had an incredible time very authentic Mediterranean food. We truly recommend this place 👌“

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

“Don't let the old decor prevent you from dining or taking out from here. The food is excellent. We have tried many dishes, and all were delicious. My husband's favorite is veal Marsala and mine is seafood cioppino. The lasagne is excellent. We see many take-out orders of pizza. The bread is warm and fresh, and we usually ask for seconds.“

“I was told Torrance location is better than the others due to them not watering down their recipes.
It held true.
Soups are thicker and more flavorful.
I try the steak Gorgonzola pasta dish when I go to other locations & Torrance blew the rest out of the water.
Service was amazing.
The manager attended us and everything was on point.
Just want to say, if you love Olive Garden, try this location.“

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

“Great food..Great service I'll be going back“

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

“We wanted to put a twist on Canadian bacon and pineapple extra large. Instead of Canadian bacon we asked for sausage and beef meatballs chopped with additional mushrooms. It was a pretty big pizza for only 28 something with tax. $3 per extra topping. It was delicious!“

“We recently catered sandwiches from Amo. The sandwiches were full of flavor and very fresh. They were even able to customize a vegetarian sandwich for us. The service is excellent, Cinzia and Gaetano, the owners were very pleasant to deal with. They made sure that we got what we were looking for.“

“Great pastrami sandwich! Great bread that they toast in the pizza oven. I have been numerous times now and while I want to be able to talk to the rest of their menu....I cant. I ordered the pastrami sandwich my first time and have never looked back. But I am sure they have got some other great dishes to offer, pretty big menu. It's a cute local little spot to grab food or eat on their little patio. Highly recommend“

“Had such a great experience here! We came in with a group of six and were immediately welcomed with amazing service from Crystal and Carlos. They really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of the whole night.

I had the Linguine Pescatore and it was absolutely delicious - so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Everyone in our group loved their meals and kept commenting on how good everything was.

Between the delicious food and the outstanding customer service, this spot is definitely a winner. Highly recommend and I’ll for sure be coming back!“

“The best pasta I've ever had, and at such an incredible price!“

“Antonio is the best chef in the Southbay, he pours a great glass of vino! Jess, provides great service.“

“Pizza made east coast style! First pizza I have had here that reminded me of the pizza I get from my favorites in NY, NJ and Philly. Thin crispy crust perfection and just the right amount of cheese. I am so glad we stopped here. I will be back.“

“Good food! I've been coming here most of my life and still as good as the first time my dad brought a Torpedo home.“

“The veal parm.. was absolutely delicious.. a Rhode Islander who dines in Federal Hill Italian Restaurants in Providence RI! You Are the best in CA I've tasted🍷🤗“

“My seafood alfredo never came and it was almost an hour later and the manager Melissa came over, asked about our experience, apologized after my food made it; she made sure our table was taken care of. I really appreciate it her customer service. I will definitely return.🫶💯“

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

“I love North Italia...and domt like complaining about service...but just a bit disappointed because I'm not a fussy or rude customer...and just felt like the servers were a little distracted...it was 9ish...not too busy. We were celebrating a bday and were asked as we entered....but they forgot even though we had a convo about it...and I just didnt like reminding them when are bill came in front of the bday guest....also appetizer...bread and butter came halfway into the meal after a couple of reminders...“
