Reviews for Michael's Downtown in Long Beach, CA
Yes, pizza is good, wood oven cooked. But I can't get used to paying $20+ for a simple pizza with no fancy ingredients.
I placed a take-out order for the tortellini. The tortellini cost $21 and the portion was very small (I think total 7... tortellini). Quite disappointing considering the price, the taste was good. Read more
Service and Food 4/5. This place seems to be popular and was a 15-20min wait to sit. Has both indoor seating and outdoor seating... with heaters - there is also a large table with a fire pit in the middle but is a great option if you are there with a largeparty. Service was very slow early on and we waited about 5-7mins before a server came over. And then the server maybe came byanother 2-3 times The food also came out slowly with the caprese salad coming first before any of the drinks. The Delle Casais quite bland and we had to put a lot of the chilli oil to had some flavor. The Gnocchi special of the night was great. It wasin an eggplant based sauce - we were skeptical on how this would taste but it was great (we almost cleaned the plate). The pennewith marinara was also good. Read more
Absolutely the best pizzas! I enjoyed the knife and fork method they recommended to enjoy their pizza. They do offer to slice if... you like as well. Service was not only excellent it was fun and friendly. I had a wonderful dining experience in every way. Iwill be here often. Read more

Yes, we loved it. We are 5 and we tried the following: meatballs, prosciutto w/glazed pear, spaghetti w/meat sauce (it's egg... pasta) yummy, mushroom pizza w/jam, shrimp salad. All was yummy, nice portions, nice people there. Really recommended. And yes,Italian food. Read more
Great service, great food. I added a dash of salt and it really made the flavors pop. The outdoor dining area is really nice. So... many plants, and heaters if you’re cold. Read more
Let me preface this by saying I've ONLY BEEN THERE FOR COFFEE ? I've lived so close and still haven't been there for food yet... but they did just start serving coffee and I went down there today and I've got to say I will definitely be going back and theservice is why! There was two people at the front and immediately I was greeted with a smile and such a happy tone for it to befirst thing in the morning, they were so friendly but not overbearing and the recommended a vanilla latte which turned out to bevery yummy! Now I guess I have to go back for food at some point ???? Read more
