I hadn't been here in such a long time, but I remembered it and decided to stop by for a good beef sandwich for my free meal. As a trainer and bodybuilder, I'm actually very selective about what I choose for my treats, so when I do have a free meal, I want it to be worth it. And this place truly delivered! As soon as I walked in, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. They took the time to explain everything to me and were incredibly accommodating. I even asked if I could get some extra onions on the sandwich, and they literally went into the back and made them for me. The customer service was amazing, the food was delicious, and you can genuinely tell they care about what they do. I'm so happy I stopped by, and I'll definitely be back!

The food is fresh and delicious, I usually opt for the bacon egg and cheese on the prosciutto bread but unfortunately they ran out; because it's so good! My sister and mom got the French toast and waffles and of course they were great. The coffee here is also top notch, never burned or too milky. The service here is also great Kelly is so kind and helpful and is always smiling. We love sitting outside and watching people pass by. Inside the cafe is cute as well watching the cafe fill up with customers always makes me happy. Sorrentos for life!

I was in Long Beach visiting a friend, and he booked a reservation at this restaurant. Our other…read morefriend loves Italian food, so this is what he had in mind. When we went in, we were seated very quickly with our reservation. We got greeted by our server, Kaylin. She was very professional and very thorough with making sure she got our orders right. The other server, Sophia also checked in on us when Kaylin was busy. They were very personable too, and actually got to know us a little bit. The food was incredible! The pizza had a nice char on the crust. I could tell it was made fresh. All of our parmigianas came out amazing as well too. The food was fried just at the right crispiness, and the sauce and cheese were very flavorful. The tiramisu was nice and moist and had a great flavor to it. When it came time to leave, Kaylin made sure she had each of our bills correct before giving them to us. The place is a little pricey, but it's worth the money you pay for the quality of the food you're getting. I would definitely come back here again when I revisit my friend. If you're in Long Beach, definitely don't skip on this place. It's worth it!

Chicken not bad prep sauce and cheesy but sauce that covered that and the pasta was just tomato sauce and zero flavors of basil or anything else at all.

Now let's talk about the food, the tower of salad and cheese with prosciutto was well dressed. Tortelli soup hit the spot as a summer soup that included summer squash and zucchini.

They also had gluten free options for pasta.

The server had an attitude the second he came over to us, it wasn't too busy just yet so unsure what his demeanor was about. He told us the specials and walked away. We ordered the fried calamari which came out in a timely manner. After that when we placed our entree order the server didn't come back to ask if we needed refills on anything. The entrees took a lot longer than expected. A table that came in 15 min after us got their food very fast. Once we got our entrees they were good, the food is consistently yummy here. But again our server did not come to see if we needed anything after the entrees were dropped at the table. I had the pasta with clams, it was good but lacked a flavor in the sauce. The calamari was great, crispy and flavorful. And the gnocchi bolognese was good as well, very ricotta leaning. Over all it was good but the waiter put a bad taste in one of my guests mouth which was disappointing. Overall I would give Gran paradiso another shot because they have good Italian but not rushing there due to the service.

We ordered baked clams and the eggplant stack, which was one of our favorites. The baked clams was so overcooked they were shriveled up little hockey pucks we gave it back and told him to take it off the bill. The eggplant stack came out and looked like they had some leftover pieces of eggplant that they threw on a plate added a slice of tomato on a slice of mozzarella and drizzled some balsamic vinegar over, just completely unacceptable and no taste. This being a local restaurant I really hope they get their act together.

The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming. In fact, our experiences were so positive that when it came time to celebrate my daughter's college graduation, there was no question where we wanted to host the dinner. We chose Nunzi's for a celebration with 20 guests, and they exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Owner Al was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, offering thoughtful menu recommendations and helping us create a memorable experience for our family and friends. Also careful to note any food allergies, and accommodate dietary considerations like gluten free and vegan. While his suggestions were excellent, truthfully, everything we've ordered at Nunzi's over the years has been fabulous. The quality of the food is consistently top-notch, portions are generous, and the pricing is very reasonable for the overall experience. The service deserves special recognition. The staff is attentive, friendly, and efficient, making sure everyone's needs were met without ever feeling intrusive. They also have just the right amount of playful sass and personality to keep you smiling throughout the evening, which adds to the restaurant's charm. Whether you're looking for a family dinner, a girls' night out, a romantic date night, or a venue for a private event or special celebration, I highly recommend Nunzi's By The Water.

The Picasso was a nice size, but the sandwich lacked a little seasoning and needed a little more balsamic. It felt kind of dry. For cocktails we got the strawberry lemon drop, it tasted a little medicinal and the cucumber lime spritz type drink(I can't recall the exact name). This one was very good.
