50 Best Italian Restaurants near Signal Hill

“Awesome location right next to the hotel I was staying at and open late every single night. I are there 3 nights in a row after my daily outings and tried 3 different dishes with some Modelo to take back to my hotel room. The service and the food was outstanding and so glad I went there so often. Next time I am in LB I will be stopping in. With love from Canada.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“The restaurant has authentic Italian cuisine and atmosphere!“

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

“Charming Greek/Italian restaurant in San Pedro. Very home-town vibe. Calzones are rich and tasty, but bring a friend or get a box, because they are bigger than your head! Greek salad and mozzarella sticks were also a hit with the family. Service was great. Not really a place to zoom in and out of, but the ambiance invites you to slow down a bit and enjoy your food with friends or family.“

“Aren’t too many good places around Frederick but Ricci’s is in the top 5. Great food. Always fresh and delish! Best time to go is when Tristan (and his brother) and Roxanne are behind the bar. Good food great drinks, great time!!!“

“fabulous little deli with a great mix of ideas to grab on the go!...and their sandwiches are amazing!! 💯🤙“

“Good pizza and variety menu. Mini, 8", available. Great service and staff. I've been a customer for many years and anticipate many more.“

“Great food and live entertainment🙃🙃“

“Fritzankotters Deli was an absolutely fantastic experience! Cynthia and Gabi were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in.
I ordered the Meatball Smash Sandwich, and honestly, words can't describe how incredible it was. It was hands down the best meatball sandwich I've ever had. The house-made pesto took it to another level and absolutely knocked it out of the park.
The restaurant was spotless, with clean tables and a great atmosphere. I also tried one of their local beers on tap, and it was ice cold and paired perfectly with the sandwich.
This place is truly a hidden gem and a must-try for anyone looking for an amazing meal. It's also a mother-and-daughter, female-owned business, which makes supporting them even better. Do yourself a favor and check them out—you won't be disappointed!“

“absolutely fantastic food and service“

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

“I ordered here for the first time yesterday. I’ve always picked up orders to deliver for customers and the food always smelled good. I finally gave it a try and I must say I’ll definitely be back lol.“

“This pizza is INCREDIBLE and tastes EXACTLY how they make it in Italy… After all, the chef is Italian 💅 🇮🇹. They use high-quality ingredients (amazing tomato sauce, anyone???) and a wood-fire oven to bring these masterpieces to life. Oh… and the pizzas have the classic, soft, thin crusts…“

“They have the most amazing Pizza awesome ribs the wings are so good the potato wedges are one of my favorite they're good with the wings and the ribs and the pizza their pastas are amazing their subs are amazing I would have to say that everything that I've gotten from here has been above satisfactory the workers are very courteous and I've never gotten any order wrong the delivery drivers are awesome you definitely need to check them out make sure to try the potato wedges and the ribs“

“Lunch (Brunch) Saturday June 8 Been reading many glowing reviews ..R they deserved ? If all dishes as flavorful as the Lamb” Secco” Then YES Not cheap , but If I am spending $40-50 person ,the food had Better taste like this. Also good: basic Margherita Pizza. Beer list is thoughtful. Wife REALLY enjoyed her Anderson Valley Rose wine with the Lamb dish Bottom line: this cafe is worth supporting. Thanks for setting up shop in Coastal Long Beach- Naples“

“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.“

“I kept seeing this little restaurant on uber eats pop up, and was enticed by their BOGO on their chicken meal. Food came and i was very surprised- usually we get stung or disappointed with competitor restaurants doing sloppy work on presentation, missing sauces etc but this was not the case with Sebastians, i really felt they packed and made our food with care and attention.

3 sauces, large salads with dressing and the main bowels themselves with good quality pita bread slices, perfecto!

Chicken was perfect, succulent, well seasoned, the rice was flavoured beautifully and the vegetables were great.

Overall an outstanding experience, we hope to eat their physically and as long as they have that BOGO deal they will be our goto instead of competitors like divine because they really knock it out of the park when it comes to Mediterranean food.“

“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.“

“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 🍕🔥“

“buen servicio y la comida riquísima 😋“

“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.“

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

“A lovely restaurant with charming and efficient service. First class pasta is cooked to perfect al dente wiith excellent sauce. Gnochi also was spot on. Thank you. Well worth visiting.“

“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....“
