    Amazing restaurant. We were enjoying a beach day and ended our day here with a wonderful meal with great service. The food was delicious especiallythe pizza. Will definitely return.

    I've been here a few times and they never disappoint! The service is great, and the food is excellent! Their brick oven pizzas and freshly made pasta is to die for. My family absolutely loved it as well and can't wait to come back!

    Went in tonight for the first time with a friend. She raved about this place and I was very excited. We waited for someone to come over to the host stand for 5/10 minutes and then she finally got up from the bar after finishing talking to a friend. Quoted us 20 minutes and took our number. Ended up going over to the bar and decided to sit there and when I told the hostess she informed me they had a reservation for the bar coming in about 15 minutes but we would sit there until then. Literally never heard of the restaurant doing that. Strongest cosmo I've ever had (loved it but oh my god) and when we got sat our server took almost 20 minutes to come over. Finally ordered everything at once. Asked for a bottle of wine and our server acted like they did not do bottles even though they're on the menu? Another server brought over the wine and broke the cork in the bottle. Honestly, not a big deal but she went to the hostess to help her open it which seemed weird. Food was incredible, the veal was insanely tender and flavorful. Also got the fig pizza which was fantastic and the gnocchi. Best pasta i've had in a long time, cooked perfectly. After 45 minutes our server comes back over and while spraying and wiping down the table next to us says "too full for desert?" then brings us our checks. Not as expensive as we expected which was nice. Then proceeds to start making jokes with us and being overly nice. Left 20% because i'm not an asshole but I think i'll stick with takeout. it's such a pretty place and i understand having a busy night but i feel like if they supported staff more or maybe retrained it would be perfect.

    Local striped sea bass

    I love that as soon as you walk down the steps, it really does feel like you're in a grotto. We sat at the bar and were served by Emily. She was so sweet. We got a few cocktails. The the bees knees was our favorite! So fresh and bright with that aloe liquor. The giggle juice and Persephone were nice as well. We got the polenta fries, they were so crispy and then the warm polenta on the inside. Polenta is such a comfort food. It was served with the peppery cream sauce. For entree we got the striped bass and the gnocchi. The fish sat on top of these little roasted potato coins which were so good. I wish the spigarello kale was a little more leafy. The gnocchi has so much sausage. They did not skimp. The sauce wasn't runny it was a hearty dish. We were definitely quite full after. The only con was it took a while to get our food but that could've been a fluke. Loved our experience here!

    5 stars all the time! One of my favorites! I crave the fresh pasta with shrimp. Small place, but I love that they don't pack tables in the dinning room, never feels crowded. ((Definitely make a reservation!)) wait staff is always kind, answers questions, refills our drinks. Nice restaurant it still kid friendly (for those family date nights).

    Great food, always order a pizza appetizer and a hot meal. Great drink options and the place is cute with good ambiance, it never disappoints

    Squid ink pasta
    Gaby S.

    Solid Italian place in Long Beach!!! I came here with a friend, but it's also perfect for date night. I got the squid ink pasta with a pork ragu, it was phenomenal. I literally licked the plate clean. On the menu it said spicy which worried me, but it really wasn't spicy. My friend got the margarita pizza with the buffalo mozzarella and it was fantastic brick oven pizza. You can see how they make the pizza fresh right in front of you. We were so stuffed that we took the dessert to go. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the tiramisu but it was delicious!!! So creamy with the perfect amount of espresso. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I will be coming back soon!
