    A wonderful Italian restaurant with flavorful dishes, a cozy atmosphere, and attentive service. The meat sauce was rich and beautifully prepared, full of authentic taste. Great quality for the price and a spot that truly feels like Italy.

    Wow is all I can say! The food is beyond amazing, full of flavor, fresh ingredients, and perfectly prepared. The service is the best I have ever had! This made my whole trip to Long Beach memorable and we will come back and visit again. Thank you for an excellent meal

    We discovered this restaurant on a walk from our air bnb. Everything about it is phenomenal! The serving staff are attentive and kind, and the menu knocks it out of the park. Each entree comes with salad/soup and a fresh hot roll. We’ve come here several times and will certainly be returning! Our favorites so far are the seafood pasta, chicken piccata and chicken Parmesan.

    Talk about a little gem on 2nd Street! I had 2 vegetarian pasta dishes and they were both fantastic! This is a very small intimate place to eat, a little pricey (avg $26 a vegetarian dish), but the food really was delicious. The funghi pasta was my favorite of the 2, but like I said, I couldn't have gone wrong with either dish. You can tell the pasta was freshly made too. Yum! Good wine selection and the service is wonderful. I believe we met the owner, a nice happy old man who was smiling the whole time we were there. I will be back to try more dishes soon. Thank you!

    We love coming here! It’s very small and intimate, which is part of its charm. The food is generously portioned and we’ve been consistently impressed with the food. A fave for date night.

    BEST Raviolis I've ever had. Absolutely wonderful atmosphere and service. We ordered the, Michelangelo which was very flavorful and in a large quantity, The Chicken Marsala, which was very easy to cut through, the mushrooms were cooked to perfection and the amount of sauce added was just right. And last but not least, the Ravioli, thick but creamy gorgonzola sauce that blended beautifully with the Raviolis. Will definitely be coming back here and highly recommend visiting. -Alt/goth couple that came in around 7:15 pm.

    This authentic Italian restaurant has excellent food, a warm atmosphere, and top-notch service. The meat sauce was especially delicious! Rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. A cozy spot that feels like a true taste of Italy. I’ll definitely be back!
