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.“

“Absolutely delicious, we came last night after a whole hour of trying to figure out what to eat and the Godmother did not disappoint. We had the cannoli, the arancini, and the lemon pasta and omg it was so good. Try new things, be open to experiences and you’ll find a spot like The Godmother Sicilian Comfort Food in your backyard.

I am ordering now as I write this review (haha). Speaking as a 60-ish Mom/Grandma, I want to say thank you for generational memories. This family will always be your greatest fans!“

“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!“

“Came with my follow veg friend and we had a lovely evening. We shared a few plates - patate e pesto, pizza montanara, and caccio pasta. Of all, the pizza montanara was my absolute fave - simple fresh ingredients… but the crust here is phenomenal! The pasta was not my personal fave, but I’ll be back for pizza.
There was only 1 server/host/busser and she was BUSY so even though there were open seats it took a while to be seated. Not a suitable place if you’re in any sort of rush but if you have the time to sit and enjoy, I highly recommend!
Big thanks to Paul too for your hospitality, congrats on this project!“

“Muy bueno el servicio la comida lo mejor“

“Awesome Place to Eat Italian food“

“Writing this review while absolutely devouring the best pizza I’ve ever had!! 🍕❤

I just got back from New York, and I’m not even kidding when I say this beats every pizza I had there.

I’ve been coming here for almost 3 years now, and it will forever be one of my favorite restaurants. Everything is SO flavorful. The chef seriously has magic hands because I have yet to order something that isn’t delicious.

I travel a ton, and whenever I’m back in town, this is always the first place I want to stop. The second I walk through the door, it feels like home. ❤

Forever a favorite!!“

“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.“

“Welcoming add wonderful! The food was exceptional end the service friendly and efficient. My spouse said if she's eating roasted carrots you know it's good. The Lule kabob made for a memorable lunch and the White Sea Bass really hit the spot for my spouse. Recommended!“

We mentioned and then he brought it to us. No biggie. I'll always go back to Nikkos . Try if your in town. Especially if u want to watch a game and have a beer.“

“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“

“Great atmosphere live music on Wednesday“

“absolutely fantastic food and service“

“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…“

“This place has been here since I was a kid and I'm old. The current owners are doing a great job of honoring the history of the place while also bringing it current. Now has a bunch of special events and foods on certain days. Really a fun place. Wish them much success. I'll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“buen servicio y la comida riquísima 😋“

“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“

“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 🍕🔥“

“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.“
