    Mushroom& tomato pizza
    Huiqing L.

    The pizzas came in generous servings with many types to choose from, and the crust was incredibly crispy. A fantastic experience overall!

    5 stars for 5 star pizza. Try the upside down slice or better yet, get a whole pie. Outstanding.

    The Pizza is very good as is the Salads, but the room is a HORROR, so if you want to go here, you are better off taking it out.

    Without question, there is little doubt that Sorrento's serves far and away the highest quality…read moreItalian food in the area. Equally so, the owners have perfected the restaurant culture of not only providing customers with first-rate quality ingredients with consistent integrity, but also staffing their kitchen and front-of-house service (Liz, her sister and other staff), who are highly cordial, attentive, and friendly, among other professional attributes. There are many excellent eateries in the area, but Sorrento's truly is a unique and a must-experience culinary destination. We highly recommend Sorrento's, you will not be disappointed, from the high quality selections in the "deli" section, to the outdoor area with sharp and friendly servers, to other offerings, including, but not limited to, an ever-changing menu. Kudos to the Sorrento's. Wishing you all much continued success. P.S. Sorrento's' pizza is hands down the best in the LB area.

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!

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!

Was a complete waste of 50$ Then we got the pasta and chicken parm . 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. Service was great and saved this place from 1 star. Would not come back here for sure.

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. The carbonara needs some works, it was too soupy/watery. I really enjoyed the almond chicken. I'm not sure if was gluten free (I don't need gluten free) but if it was, this was an excellent option. 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.

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. An overall very mixed experience but I want to give it another shot even if only for the nachos
