This is hands down the best Italian food I’ve had in the United States. They could spit on me when I walk in and I’d still... go there. They could blast an air horn directly into my ear every time I take a bite, and I’d still recommend the place.Thankfully though, the service is great. Read more

Famiglia! I love this space, and it's truly like stepping into a spice of Italy. Many of the famiglia speak Italian with one... another when ordering and communicating. Italian ambiance at its finest, and the background music is one of a kind. The pizza isthe best around; watching the family working to create the masterpiece, is like watching a silent ballet. The wood fire pit forpizzas, only adds to the stellar ambiance, I have to say it's pretty meditative to watch. Homemade pasta is my favorite and youcan taste the authenticity. So grateful they're in my community, make reservations if you're planning on visiting for theweekend. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. My go-too for all things Italian, you'll leave elevated and inspired. Read more

Cute little spot with a great atmosphere. We started with Calamaretti, Burrata con Pesto and complimentary warm bread with oil,... Chilli and garlic to dip which were definitely a crowd pleaser. Leaving us very excited to try our pasta dishes. First out wasthe Spaghetti Nonna Malvina and the Rigatoni alla Bolognese which looked great and then came the Ravioli Al Funghi which lookedlike slush on a plate but was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. All pastes were served unusually hot, so hot we hadto leave it sit before we could even eat it, to avoid burning our mouth, leaving me to believe it was heated in a microwave. TheRavioli was unevenly cooked with some soft and some hard pieces which is consistent to being heated in a microwave, the saucewas runny and had no body to it, both the Rigatoni Bolognese and the Spaghetti Nonna Malvina was very oily and had an acidictaste and the meatballs were tough. Very disappointed after such a good start. Read more

Excellent first time experience. The food is delicious, love the ambiance and service was amazing., The cypress salad was... refreshing and the fried mozzarella was surprisingly light. The pasta had a garlic butter sauce with sausage, pancetta andarugula. Read more

One of the best Italian spots in Long Beach. Second time here, first time was a long time ago though. There wasn’t a table... available ready quickly for my boyfriend and I, and we didn’t want to wait so they seated us at the bar within minutes andthat was perfect! At the bar there is a tv showing a city of Rome. The bartender was very friendly and she made us deliciousespresso martinis. We both ordered a ravioli dish, equally divine. Their bread they serve with the herb olive oil is is also soso tasty. Read more

The scenery was beautiful. Enough for your eyes to look around and explore. We ordered 2 different types of pasta mine was... spinach ravioli with stuffed ricotta and topped with fresh marinara sauce. The flavor was out of this world. I will definitelycome back and try other dishes. Top notched service. Only waited like 10 minutes to get in Read more
