“The chicken marsala was incredibleVegetarian options: Pizza and pasta can be ordered vegetarian. Not a great place for vegans.Dietary restrictions: I had a hard time finding a gluten-free option. Trani's does not have gluten-free pizza or pasta.“
“The staff here make you feel incredibly welcomed and are all extremely kind and helpful. A lovely woman helped me over the phone and didn't get frustrated with me over deciding what toppings I wanted. And once we arrived there , it felt like I had just walked into someone's home. It's a nice warm feeling type of restaurant that makes you feel like you're at home with family. The Large pizza we ordered is In my opinion, my favorite pizza yet. The ingredients taste fresh and light. I usually get super bloated after eating pizza but not this time. It was just incredibly delicious and I would totally come back here anytime.“
“this place was AMAZING little small but it's a nice little spot. BUT! the food was absolutely delicious probably the best pastrami sandwich I've ever had and the pesto raviolis holy crap to freaking die for the lady at the counter was super nice and helpful and The food came out quick would Recommend all my friends and family and all food love to try immediately thankyou so much to all the staff for and amazing experience and amazing food“

“Our women's group UWiS celebrated our 9th International Women's Day Dinner @Raffeallos Ristorante on Friday, March 8th. We had 100 guests, including one supportive man, President of Local 105 SMART Sheet Metal Worker's union. Our event was in their banquet room and we used every inch. The room was beautifully decorated and the service was excellent. We had a deejay who did take request DJ Sweezy and he struck just the right tones. It was a beautiful evening to celebrate women in various trades.“
“This restaurant is in my top 10 favorites with THE REEF and others. This restaurant definitely a five star restaurant, not 4.5. I drove 65 miles/1hr 10 minutes to come here because I heard great things about this restaurant, and what I heard was the truth. We came today on Easter. YELPERS, please reserve weeks ahead. Now the live band was awesome. The food was delicious. I had a great time. They have the main parking, Valet parking was $10 during my visit, they told me they also have extended parking across the street. When I entered, I was greeted at the door by staff. Delaney and the customer service staff were polite, friendly with all smiles. That's what customers love, with excellent customer service. So Delaney got us a table about 10 minutes wait, which was quick. And we got lucky because 4 others reserved, and me and 3 others waited 10 minutes, we got lucky. Customer service gets an A++. Our server was Danielle, she gets an A++. She took us to our table, 4 us if we're late from the other 4. Danielle took our orders, came back 5 times to make sure we were good. She refilled our glasses, and other servers did the same to make sure. I call it TEAM WORK. Now I went back n forth from the band, to the restroom, to my family's other table because we got there late, so I wasn't able to sit in their area. This place was crowded and every server that was moving trays were polite stopped and said "You're first" I've been to other restaurants where servers cut in front of customers. Not Spaghettini, everyone had a smile. This was my first time and I'll drive 65 miles again. By The Way, I used to work in food & beverages, used to work as a waiter at San Manuel Casino. So I know great customer service when I see it. Thank you Delaney and the front counter representatives. Thank you Danielle, Delaney and Thank you Spaghettini. This restaurant gets 5 stars.Parking: Free parking, valet parking and free parking across the street from the restaurant.“
“In the summer of 1975, I was only 14, and already a "Busboy extraordinaire"! My family had just moved from East Los Angeles to Monterey Park, and I started working at the best Italian restaurant on the planet, 'Agostino's'. At first, I thought all the beautiful girls were coming in to see me clear dirty dishes off of dirty tables. I later learned it had something to do with the food. And something to do with the restaurants' proximity to Mark Keppel High School. On top of all that. it was Great pizza at an affordable price. I stayed there charming the clientele for about three years. I met members of the M.P. Police, council members, Mayors, and others. I saw my classmates come in with their families, on dates, and in the banquet room after every major school dance. It was a place where you could go have pizza with friends, and not be embarrassed to run into your parents having a nice dinner. It was the hub of all social life in the San Gabriel Valley. I left the restaurant for college in 1978. In 1980, Agostino ("Gus") and Alicia sold the restaurant and went back to Sicily. I hadn't seen them in almost 50 years. A half century! Well, my fellow Monterey Parklandians (is that even a word?), this past weekend my wife says to me: "Remember your wish to step into 1975 and smell the food at Agostino's again"? She then drove me to this small Italian restaurant in the community of Paramount. Inside ..... were Gus & Alicia. The original owners who gave me my first real job so many years ago. The food was as good OR better than I remembered. Just as fresh too. My wife and I split an antipasto salad, a lasagna, and a pizza. Alicia came over to sit with us, we traded hugs & stories. Alicia is as warm and delightful as I remembered her. We didn't spend too much time with Gus, he was busy. Although I believe Gus is still jealous, because Alicia thinks I'm too handsome. It's a mystery. If you lived in the MP/Alhambra area for any amount of time, you surely enjoyed the authentic Sicilian food from Agostino's. And you'll truly enjoy Gus & Alicia's "Cafe Corleone". I know we'll be going back. CAFE CORLEONE 15337 Paramount Blvd, Paramount, CA (562) 408-6100. Dine-in/Takeout / Delivery“
“I woke up craving Spaghetti and Meatballs..and found this place.. Ordered a full pastrami sandwich and spaghetti and meatballs..Upon arrival, i realized that I have been in this place before, about 25 years ago or so.The spaghetti and meatballs was phenomenal, with 3 meatballs, and sauce to spaghetti ratio on point.Pastrami sandwich had the perfect moisture and flavor, just the right amount of mustard, would have like a bit more pickles but still a great sandwich.I hate that I didn't get the names of those who attended to me, but 100% great customer service.Safe to say. This is going to be a must go to for me at least once a month..“
“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.“
“I've been here so many times but today was the first time I had the pesto which was delicious. I never knew the ingredients for pesto after reading it I felt as if I could taste each ingredient. Everything here is so flavorful. Highly recommend“
“Super friendly service! After 20 years since my first time, they STILL have $1 salad. Nothing has changed. I love that about this place. It's like a little family. It's very hard for me to pick pasta since i am not familiar with the names, but every time i pick something (always different), it comes out good. Would always come back to this. Plus, there is an ARMY cashier here. IYKYK. ?“
“I just want to say, who charges for convenience fee o_0 I was shocked to see this.To be honest I felt rushed to eat my salad. I was asked about twice if I was done. I mean if you see me eating I guess I'm not done. So I just dumped the salad bowl into my plate so she can remove the bowl ? ? ?Love this place but please don't rush me when I'm eating. I'm not on my 30 minute lunch break.The host (gentleman) was great very attentive. We spilled water and my boyfriend tried to clean the table and seat. However we missed the ice on the floor but the gentleman was so nice about it. ?I watched how rapidly he worked the floor, amazing ? from seating guests to cleaning tables and even offered to box my leftovers ?Parking: Limited parking spots.“
“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“
“One of the best Italian restaurant. One of Orange County’s hidden gem. Delicious Italian food, Good service and beautiful restaurant. We love it!!! I highly recommend them. My favorites are their bread, fettuccini Alfredo and best spaghetti bolognese . They also give you generous proportion. Really must try!!!Vegetarian options: There’s vegetarian choicesKid-friendliness: Kids will love the food“
“The food and service are great! I love their house salad with pickled vegetables. The pasta is excellent and the Italian sausage is a little spicy and yummy. My boyfriend ordered the veil and enjoyed it (I wouldn't try it). The bread is amazing!! They get the bread from a local sandwich shop that is famous for their bread! Highly recommend.“
“SOLID pasta. Had the parpadelle vodka on my most recent visit but had others in the past and they were all great. I wouldn't mind if the prosciutto with the parpadelle wasnt crispy.The tables are quite small and you have to be ok with dining close quarters. Service was adequate and friendly. Wish they had a couple beers on tap but didnt take away much from the dining experience“
“Opted for italian and glad we did. Michaels never dissapoints. Excellent customer service, fabulous delicious cuisine, excellent wine and bubbly selection and dessert to die for. Heated patio which made for a comfty dining experience. I had the Linguini with Salmon off the limited menu and let me tell you, absolutely spectacular dish. Try it while is available. Paired that with some prosseco and yummy! Started with roasted veggies, highly highly reccommend, utter yummyness roasted to perfection. Crunchy, fresh and flavorful. Paired that with Calamari delight! Capped it off with an on the house Tiramissu (not sure if i spelled it right) in a glass. IF YOU DONT HAVE DESSERT, you must make an exception for this, my eyes literally rolled to the back of my head on the first taste! "I'll have what shes having" type of reaction! A must try. We paired that with vanilla bean ice cream, delicious. Top that off with excellent top of the line customer service. 5 stars!“
“Excellent service & very friendly staff - Anthony with a big smile! Food some of the best I’ve had. Paola the chef did everything perfect. Really nice is you get your choice of protein and 2 great sides; any salad, tabbouleh, basmati rice. I’ll definitely be back.“
“My husband took me here to celebrate my birthday and he chose it because we were going to the Opera after to see La Traviata, so he wanted to make a theme night. The restaurant is small and quaint. They had live music. The decor is very simple, a bit rustic? But had some very pretty chandeliers. You must have reservations and must arrive on time. Our server was very polite and was quick at answering questions and making suggestions. I ordered the Chicken Milanese, and my husband had the Lasagna. Both were very delicious. We did not have any wine although it looked like they had a good selection and we opted for no dessert (good selection as well), as our meals were pretty good size. We both liked it and would go back. This restaurant has been open for 25 yrs.Parking: There is a public parking structure but it was a block away. Street parking is metered“
“We were here for a bridal dinner in the private back room. Absolutely delicious!!! Fresh ingredients and everything made with love. Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere! The pasta was perfect and the appetizers were such a tasty start to an incredible meal.“
“This place was nice . The food is great appetizers are delicious. I enjoy their meat calzone I won’t get anything else , simply because I haven’t had calzones this good in a long time. The waiter is an older gentleman, very kind. Service is very fast.Parking: Parking is in the back of the building. There’s plenty of parking .“
“AWESOME PIZZA!!!I'm blown away by the quality of your pizza. I ordered the Medium Veggie and boy was I blown away by the quality of the pizza. To start with the dough is hand spun, making it nice and fluffy but not doughy like many others. Crust and undercarriage was crispy not greasy and cooked perfectly. The sauce was perfect balance of tangy and sweet. Plenty of vegetables and perfectly balanced cheese. If you are looking for a great pizza this is definitely the place. I am a tough person to satisfy when it comes to pizza but this place gets two thumbs up! I'll definitely be back. Also the service is friendly. This place is a hidden gem, so many small pizza places are dissappearing because people settle for cheap, disgusting pizza. I am happy to discover this place! Keep up the great job! Good luck!“
“We love this place. It’s our favorite italian restaurant for lunch ( more casual) or date night dinner. Amazing food and excellent service. We tried many dishes here and all of them were so tasty and would order again and again.We enjoy Italian food so we tried many restaurants but this one is the best or one of the best in the area.Small, cozy and romantic for dinner.Easy, fast and tasty for lunch.Very reasonably priced and staff is so friendly.“
“I ordered a pizza to be delivered and it arrived quickly. The pizza was very good. I especially liked the thin crust. It had the perfect amount of toppings, everything was evenly distributed. It was delicious. One of the best pizzas I've had. Will definitely be ordering from ASAP again.“
“Idk how long this location has been opened, but I just found out, while searching for uni pasta closer to me, that my favorite uni pasta has a 2nd location!!! ? Now I don't gotta drive all the way to Little Tokyo for it. This location is only about 20min (with no traffic ?) from me in the OC!!! Their uni pasta is the best & so is this other dish that my hubby ordered (forgot the name, but it's a bolognese beef stew kind of sauce...it was one of their special item). Also tried a couple of the other appetizers. Pretty good too. Fyi, we've only been their LT location so far. Can't wait to try this one out soon!“
“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.“
“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 ?“
“It was suggested we visit and I'm happy we did. While it was very busy with a wait on a Friday night the wait passed quickly. Upon sitting we were presented with focaccia and a delicious dressing to dip it in. The menu is a classic Italian menu. But the food was fresh, plentlyful and delicious. I look forward to returning to try some of the pizza that also looked delicious.“
“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!“
“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 got the goddaughter sandwich on soft bread, the spicy penne pasta (that came with a piece of garlic bread) and a margherita pizza. I came to this deli because my favorite one in LB was closed and I'm so glad I did. It's menu is flavorful, fresh, and affordable. Do yourself a favor and order anything or everything off their menu. Give them some time, they make everything fresh.“
“Pizza was good, prices are incredibly inexpensive. We had Lg pepperoni, bell pepper, onions and 2 canned sodas. $18.00. They also advertise cheese burger potato wedges and soda for $7.99. I will try that next. The Host is very nice.“
“One thing about Uber Eats is you get to discover great places to eat. This restaurant was local and had very good food. I love Calamari and there are a lot of ways to prepare it. Fried is my favorite and this spot didn't disappoint ? here the calamari is mixed with big pieces of shrimp and tomato pasta sauce. I will return to try more on the menu, the smell when you walk in boi!!“
“Awesome place. Great prices and large portions. The chicken parmesean was excellent. Plenty of chicken, breaded nicely. And great tasting cheese and sauce mixed with pasta noodles. Came with tasty garlic bread. The other order was a Philly cheese steak sandwich. The large size. Very good as well. The owner is incredibly nice and friendly too. And the other lady that helped us with the order. All the locals go here. There were plenty of customers when we stopped by. And a short wait time as well. Definitely a place to try and return. I can't stop thinking about the experience!“
“Good pizza! I like the cheese and the crust. Solid on the toppings too. I used to love getting their oven baked wings because they are good, but since they increased the price, the value doesn't match the extra cost. Service is hit or miss. Sometimes it's great, and other times, it seems like they'd rather be somewhere else.“
“This place is amazing the sandwiches are delicious. “I love the chicken Parmesan sandwich personally “. The cannolis are great, Wine prices are reasonable and really good selection,. The customer service is outstanding, all the individuals are very sweet and kind. I Highly recommend this hidden gem, The food is a true Italian experience.“
“Dined here this evening. We enjoyed some Cocktails to start then ordered Beef Tartare, Shrimp with Veg and Roasted Carrots. Entrees varied from Pasta to Ribeye steak and Burger. All delicious. The Carbonara needed more bacon but that was the only issue. Desserts were great. The Espresso wasn’t hot enough for my guest but overall we enjoyed the evening celebrating a birthday. Will recommend to my friends for sure. Would recommend a reservation as it was very busy by the time we left at 6.30 pm“
“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!)“
“Wonderful service and out of this world Gnocchi (so good that I forgot to take a photo)!Very very cozy. If you struggle to hear in loud ambient settings, plan for their patio.Parking: Parking is challenge in this area so give yourself plenty of time!“
“First time visiting Rocco's Italian Ristorante. Went with a group of 9 for lunch. Such a nice atmosphere....Super clean, white tablecloths, a couple of big screen TV's (sound off, thankfully) and a very friendly staff. We asked for separate checks and they obliged....No problem. Big menu with a large variety of sandwiches...Hot and Cold. We all got sandwiches. Looked like most ordered the Philly Cheese Steaks.....Brimming with meat. I got The Central Park sandwich which was fresh mozzarella, arugula, tomatoes and basil pesto. Got mine with melted mozzarella on toasted bread.....Delish!! Had a sampler platter of their Italian sausage with onion and bell pepper sent to the table to taste..... Yummy. As it was one friends Bday, they offered us a sample plate of their deserts. Took a vote after lunch & all agreed we need to go back soon. Looking forward to returning to have one of their pasta dishes next time.“

“Just walked out of here.... Food was great! Service was great.. very friendly and grateful for your business! Prices are great! Very clean ! Fast service even though you can tell the food is freshly made! Will definitely come back! Thank you!“
“I am in town visiting family, I grew up just a few blocks from here, and we ate from here lots. The submarine sandwich is the best. In taking 4 sandwichs home with me, they are that good!!! If you get the chance, stop by and have a meal. This family will feed you amazing food and make you feel like your dining with family.“
“My family is thrilled to have found this place!!! Our daughter started college at Biola university and loves pasta. This is top of the list anytime we visit. It was also our first stop after a 28 hour road trip to bring her back to school in January. Great food! Great service! Can’t say enough good things!“
“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“
“As owner of Portofino's in Long Beach, I believe our food is delicious. Reason why, because all of our dishes are homemade,have a unique flavor & its quality food. We serve Breakfast,Lunch & Dinner. Our bread at Portofinos is homemade overnight. Our sauces are homemade. Our dressings for salad are different. Our pizza is dough homemade. Our seafood comes from the Port of LA (San Pedro) #Fresh. As a small business, I'm learning each day. Thank you all customers for your support and making Portofinos known.“
“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. ❤️“
“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 .“
“Great food and beer ? and wine specials. ? lots of tv's to watch football and other sporting events. The workers are very nice and hospitable.Parking: Huge parking lot in front of Trader Joe's.Kid-friendliness: Great place for an after school snack.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level is excellent for wheelchairs ♿️“
“This is my 2nd review on Big E Pizza. They are lovely people! Every delivery is spot on, the food is always piping hot when it arrives at your door and the most important thing is, they truly care about what they are doing. It is obvious that they care about their customers. The food is good, and I want to thank all of the staff at Big E's for making things so special. Every single time. I always order the Greek salad and they do not hold back on their generous portion. If you are hungry, your leftovers should last a while. Just a great neighborhood place with a terrific staff.“
