Great service and fantastic food. Very Italian. Highly recommended. Felt as if we were in Milano
I have gone many times to this restaurant and the food is always very good. The staff is super friendly EXCEPT for the male owner/manager. I dine alone mostly as I travel in this area for my work, and this gentleman is always very condensending and arrogant...never friendly. It has happened so many times, I won't be going back
We've been several times. I like seeing lighter choices on the menu from what some may think of as heavy Italian food. Beautiful sliced filet mignon with a nice arugula salad...or chicken/veal milanese with a similar salad. The calamari was lightly breaded..and tender. Larenzo is the owner and front man...and his wine knowledge is unsurpassed,, with unique choices to try....and, he's a charming host. Always enjoy our food and wine pairing. Glad to have in our neighborhood.
I enjoyed every single moment I was at this amazing quaint trattoria. From the second I walked in, the owner, from Milan, could not have been more welcoming. I started with a beautiful red wine from Puglia and a Caesar salad. For my main course I had the shrimp and zucchini risotto. It was all lovely. This will be my first stop on my future visits to Long Beach
We went there for dinner and were surprised by the affordable accommodation. I ordered some lamb chops and they were elegant. The only problem, for the price, is not much food. I had some pasta with wild boar. It was pretty good. They have a great selection of wines. Nice place to take a date and have a nice romantic dinner.
It is in a good central location, is a great restaurant and seems to have a good atmosphere. But I found the food to be average. we all had the pasta dishes and they ranged from very good to not very good. The service staff also ranged from helpful to not interested in you. The menu is not very, very limited. My waiters recommenations, one main meal and one dessert were both just awful! The suffle was overcooked and the pasta dish was very nearly inedible. So I had a bad meal, my 3 companions had a good-going meal. So, this restaurant is just ok. I think it gets its customers because its in a place where there aren't many restaurants. It also houses a patisserie that makes gourmet French type pastries and macarons. But I do recommend getting there, some where to go and things to do don't eat here as a matter of fact, I'm sure you can have much better food elsewhere.
Great food, excelent service. Desserts were amazing.
This was a very pleasant surprise for us. We were going to airport to pick up our daughter and we had time for dinner. We looked online and found this place. We were happy that we did. The food was excellent as was the service. Also a very nice Italian wine list. We live about 1 hour from here. Wish we were closer. Hope yo get back soon for some more pasta.
Excellent service. Kind and knowledgeable staff. They made us feel welcomed, and the food was great too!
The food is GREAT but to my dismay I must say that the manager engaged several patrons directly next to me and when he looked at me he NEVER ONCE ASKED ME ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH HIS DINNER OR SAID HELLO. HE SIMPLY LOOKED AT ME AND WALKED AWAY. NOT A GOOD LOOK FOR SOMEONE WHO IS PATRONIZING HIS BUSINESS. I WAS THE ONLY AFRO AMERICAN IN HIS ESTABLISHMENT.
