Rigatoni Barese
Lang B.

My boyfriend and I were looking for an authentic Italian place to eat at and stumbled upon Cafe Corleone on Yelp. Place looks to have been in business for a while and appears to be family owned which we loved. Inside is in the smaller side, but still had plenty of seating. We visited on a Sunday and was seated right away. All staff was welcoming, friendly and attentive. Our server recommended the rigatoni barese and we loved it! The dish was simple, but the way it was made was so delicious . We both loved that the sauce wasn't heavy. The pasta was enough to feed 2 people . We also ordered the corleone pizza , also delicious . You can see in the photo they did not skimp on the toppings. We plan to return to try another pasta dish :)

Spaghetti with meat sauce

Food was amazing and everything was delicious and the staff was amazing they would be checking in if everything was good and dessert was great as well

Pineapple pepperoni pizza

FAMILY OWNED: you'll walk in here and feel like you're walking into someone's living room. They have about 7-8 tables and it's kind of small inside. It's somewhat pricey; but it's good. I'd definitely recommend you give it a try for its CHEESY lasagna and their pizza. Everything is made from scratch. The owners daughter served us.

Lasagna

This place is amaazing! It's a warm, medium sized diner, it reminded me of a restaurant from the 70s or 80s. The walls are covered with pictures of Italian life, it's dimly lit, and the food is absolutely delicious! I ordered the lasagna, like all their food, it was freshly made. When it was brought to the table, the cheese on it was still bubbling! The owner ia a sweetheart, she greeted me when I came in, and my server was attentive, she checked in on me a few times, and at the end of the meal the owner ensured that I was happy with my food and overall dining experience. I highly recommend this place if you happen to be in Paramount and crave Italian food!

Pizza

Let's start with how cute and home feeling the restaurant is. Walked in and love the decoration. I'm not Italian but definitely gave that vibe where grandma is cooking in the back. The service was amazing. Ordered the Alfredo pasta and a small 10 inch pizza. Let me tell you it was DELICIOUS. Definitely from scratch can tell right away. I'm coming back that's for sure.

Are some of the complimentary bread
Crystal B.

Would've gave this place a 4 star because they didn't serve any garlic bread like it says on the menu with our pastas and the cheese on the pizza slips right off. Mind you everything including pizza was delicious. I decided to give 5 star because it's truly a family oriented place and the daughter of the mom and pop was super nice and was hosting the whole restaurant. Would come back.

Grilled pork chops

Looking for a great Italian restaurant? We discovered this gem thanks to an ABC7 Los Angeles interview highlighting this family-owned establishment, and we're so glad we decided to support them. From the moment we were seated, we were warmly welcomed by two of the family owners, who shared the history of the restaurant and offered thoughtful entrée recommendations. That personal touch immediately set the tone for a memorable dining experience. We started with a large plate of garlic toast, then moved on to an incredible spread: Rigatoni with meat sauce, Corleone's Special Pizza, Grilled Pork Chops, Tomato Bisque soup, and Tortellini Emiliana (cheese-stuffed pasta with sweet peas, ham, mushrooms, and a white cream sauce). Although these were individual plates, the portions were truly homestyle--each dish could easily serve two people. Everything was cooked and served to perfection, and as we ate, we all found ourselves nodding in agreement--this food was absolutely delicious. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, dessert arrived. The Tiramisu cake was a party in your mouth, and the lemon ice cream, beautifully presented in a flute glass, was the perfect refreshing finish. If you're tired of commercial, overly Americanized Italian restaurants, do yourself a favor and come experience authentic Italian cuisine made with care and pride. There's plenty of parking, and a helpful tip--if you reach Chase Bank, you've gone too far. We will definitely be returning. Stop by, experience it for yourself, and be the judge--you won't regret it.

The Paramount High School Speech and Debate team held its Christmas Party here and it was the best decision! The owner is so gracious. The servers were very nice and attentive. Everyone loved the pizza! What an awesome small town restaurant with big time food!

Ricci's Italian Restaurant

The best Italian in Bellflower, hands down! :)…read more I ordered the baked manicotti and was quite impressed, perfectly flavored and properly cooked! Their garlic bread and mozzarella sticks were phenomenal as well! The staff were friendly and attentive, and we were wanting for nothing. The place has a good amount of indoor seating, and a huge covered outdoor area in back, and the place is immaculate - clean and well lit. In all we'll certainly be back.

We went to have dinner at Ricci's Italian in Bellflower a little while ago…read more Nice house salad (9/10) with wonderful italian dressing (9/5/10) and vegetable minestrone soup with small pasta (8.5/10), which adults and kids enjoyed. Our entrees included Chicken parmigiana (8/10), veal parmigiana (7/10) , and bacon carbonara with shrimp (8/10), quite rich and creamy, but not goopy. All quite good. Nice that they have Peroni on tap, tasted fairly fresh (8/10). Veal cutlet portion felt a little undersized but chicken was hearty, and red sauce (both marinara and meat sauce) are deep red, slightly thick and pasty...not a light sauce. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal, except for the end (when we suffered a accidental water spill and had to mop it uo ourselves). Garlic bread (6/10) was pale and had no taste of garlic: just butter, salt and pepper. At least it tasted fresh and warm. We had spumoni (9/10) and tiramisu (6/10) for dessert. Enjoyed the spumoni but I would skip tiramisu when coming back: beautifully presented but all the art was on the plate, instead of in the flavor of the tiramisu. Ricci's has been around since 1944. But from the outside and inside, you wouldn't guess that. The building seems pretty modern, as well as the interior, a somewhat classic upscale vibe. I really want to like this place (I have a fondness for historic dining) and I look forward to coming back to try the sandwiches and the pizza, both of which look good.

I grew up in Bellflower in the 70s and 80s. At that time Marino's was the only nice place to eat on…read moreBellflower Bl. Shops were closing and the downtown was in decline. Fast forward to today and things are much better. The one constant is Marino's is still a nice place to eat. My understanding is they changed ownership in the past couple years. You would not be able to tell. The service is still outstanding as is the food. The new owners have not missed a beat. Recently we celebrated my 93 year old father in law's second retirement. We had a group of 9 which the staff dealt with really well. I had the pasta with artichoke hearts. I should order something else sometime, but it is so good. That dish has been consistent for the 40+ years I have eaten here. So has everything else.

As a teenager, I love that they have garlic bread that tastes exactly the same as the Busy Bee…read morerestaurant in Ventura, California, even though the garlic bread here is shaped differently than the one from Busy Bee. What really surprised me is how Marino's manages to get that same warm, buttery, nostalgic flavor that I was loving the garlic bread that they used to sold in Ralph's on Wardlow Rd Long Beach, California in the 2011, but still make it feel like their own thing. It's honestly kind of cool that a place in Bellflower can remind me so much of a restaurant all the way in Ventura, especially since I wasn't expecting that at all when I first tried it. On top of that, the rest of the food matches the same level of comfort and quality. Every dish feels like it was made with actual care, and as someone who's still figuring out what my favorite Italian foods even are, it's fun to try things here because everything ends up tasting way better than I expect. The service also makes the whole experience even better, because everyone treats you like you're a regular even if it's your first time walking in. It gives the place this friendly, welcoming vibe that makes you want to come back again without even thinking about it. The atmosphere is another thing I really like, because it feels relaxed in a way that makes it easy to enjoy your food without feeling rushed. It's the kind of place where you can sit with your family or friends and just enjoy being there while eating something really good. Overall, Marino's Italian Restaurant in Bellflower, California, is one of those spots that ends up sticking in your mind, especially when something as simple as their garlic bread can bring back memories from another city while still feeling totally unique to this place.

I'll be honest -- the first time I saw La Pasta in Lynwood, I wasn't super intrigued. But then I…read morekept noticing police cars and fire trucks parked there during lunch. And if there's one thing I know, first responders always know where the good food is. That was enough for me to give it a shot. We decided to grab takeout, and wow... this place is legit. The lasagna was amazing. Not one of those basic ricotta-only lasagnas either -- this had a great cheese blend and an incredible sauce that really brought everything together. You can tell care goes into the food. The bread they serve tastes fresh like it's baked there, which makes a big difference. We also had the chicken fettuccine, and my daughter absolutely loved it, which is always a win as a parent. We've only done takeout so far, but this spot has officially upgraded our movie nights at home. One of these days we'll probably dine in, but even to-go, the quality holds up -- and that says a lot. Definitely a spot worth trying if you want solid Italian food in the area.

The pizza was fresh and delicious. It's not your cheapest option around, but the quality was there…read more So the cost didn't bother me. We also go a beet salad that stated there would be goat cheese on it- we didn't get much if any in ours, unfortunately. Staff were great and kind. Dining room was clean and neatly decorated. Plenty of parking too. I look forward to my next stop for food from La Pasta.

BEST PIZZA IN DOWNEY? Absolutely!…read more BIGGEST REASON FOR THE STATEMENT:Hands down For me the first thing of note is that they have a meatball pizza... and not any meatball pizza, but ground turkey, made into meatballs, sliced and put on pizza. Who does that? The best pizza place in Downey does! I grew up I just got back from deployment, I was goen from June until September (2025), I found myself at sea salivating for their pizza. I literally just got back, took care of family and business stuff and realized that I now have time to scroll through Yelp and write reviews based on Yelp suggestions (meaning if you check-in, but fail to write a review, yelp will remind you by adding the business to a list of suggested businesses. Let me start by saying that I will now pledge my loyalty, despite deployments getting in the way, to this shop from hestrip mall. THE STAFF: The staff is super courteous and they handle their phone orders flawlessly every time (Imperial Domminos could learn a lot from this place). I have even interacted with the guy making the pizza... he did so with a smile. SEATING: It is truly unfortunate that the limits set by the interior and exterior of this business make it so they cannot provide tables and seating in which patrons could dine. I would most definitely opt to dine in, if it was a choice. INTERIOR: This small carry out only shop is always immaculately clean. From the floors to the reflection of myself that I can see in the glass cases, this place wins the white glove treatment award every time. FAVORITE ORDERS: Cheese pizza, yep plain cheese pizza is the best way to review a pizza. Once you establish that the crust, sauce and cheese are amazing and worth the money, then it is time to sample, or as I like to say "experiment with" the quality found in a pizzeria's toppings I am usually a chicken, bell pepper, green olive type east coast pizza (so thick Sicilian is acceptable, and of late in the city of Portland, OR, I recently fell in love with Detroit style pizza) fanturkey meatball pizza is to die for. I do feel their sauce is a bit under applied, so asking for extra either on the pizza or to take home package separately is recommended. In the distant past, I have made my own sauce and actually topped store and shop bought pizza with it and the retopped the pizza with more cheese. I may start doing this with Leslie. PARKING: Ample parking is available outside, as this location is in a sizable stripmall.

Leslies has become my go-to for pizza by the slice in Downey. It def competes with Avenue Pizza, i…read moreactually prefer Leslies. More variety and a bigger menu. Dont sleep on the Samiches. The Meatball sub is super cheesy with lots of sauce. Usually they tend to be dry, but Leslies was not. The Italian Sausage & Peppers was pretty fire too. Not super traditional but delicious. Pro-Tio: call ahead even for a slice. Flavors change depending on whats available and needs time for them to re-heat in the oven. You also have ti try their Cannolis, the cream cheese stuffing was fire. Staff is friendly, the owner is there sometimes and has always been friendly. Place is cozy, mainly a take out style with couple of stand up tables. Plenty of parking.

This place is 10/10 for food, service and lovability. First time here and won't be my last…read more The pizza is sooooo good. I like mine thin crust and it was perfect - crispy and chewy and even some brown yummy hot air bubbles from the oven. Generous toppings and a nice tart tomato sauce - just the way a pizza sauce should be. Customer service - Friendly, fast and so welcoming. The prices are really a great deal for the quality of food you get. Lovability - I am always heartened when I see a family run business that has the entire family involved. Two kids were doing their homework outside at the table and chairs by the entrance. One was inside playing video games, lost in his own world. The moment I stepped into the door, the eldest teenager son went straight from the table outside and hopped right behind the cashier. He was cheery and greeted me so professionally. I made my order and the dad immediately went to the counter and started twirling the dough to make the crust. The mom peeked out from the kitchen and smiled at me and then disappeared to get the toppings ready. They were a well-tuned team! As someone who also grew up in a family restaurant, I can't emphasize enough how much it means to watch your parents work hard and to have to participate in helping them out. Builds deep appreciation how they have to make a living to take care of the family. Also it builds a solid work ethic and much-needed interpersonal skills in today's world. These folks are doing it right and I can't emphasize enough how important it is to support good family businesses like this one.
