Ordered the Chicago Salad, Tomato Pie & Potato (added pancetta-amazing choice) and asked for them to be well done. Really enjoyed the flavor & balance of both the red and white sauces. On Chris' recommendation we tried the Churro Custard with a side of hot honey! Can't wait to go back for another amazing date night

Came here last week with my son, daughter in law and grandson and had a very very dinner. We…read morestarted with a nicely prepared Caesar Salad and the Bread with Calabrian Chile Honey Butter. I would definitely order both those items again. We also had an order of their wings with Gochujang BBQ sauce which was another winner. We ended up order two pizzas with one being the Ragu that was just ok, and the other being the Fried Eggplant that was very good. To you it off we all tried the Pistachio Custard that was a nice end to the meal. The place does get busy so you may want to make a reservation. They do have a big parking lot but parking can still get tight. As for the staff they are all very friendly and welcoming. They also do a really good job of keeping the place neat and clean.

Truly the best pizza and parppadelle wagyu pasta I've ever had. And I kid you not, one of the best iced teas as well. I can't wait to come back next time I visit long beach!

The pastas are delightful and the wine list is great, which honestly is all I need to feel good about a spot. My husband is a pizza person through and through, and even though Marlena is not really positioned as a pizza place, the pizza won him over completely. That says a lot. The ambiance is wonderful and the fact that it's mostly outdoors makes it dog friendly, which is always a bonus for us. The food across the board is just solid and well executed without trying too hard to be anything other than what it is. A really warm, genuinely enjoyable dinner in Long Beach and one we will likely be returning to.

No wait but moderately busy, restrooms immaculately clean. Menu descriptions are fantastic. perfect customization of a traditional breakfast menu... with traditional items available.. They pay attention to every little detail of your experience. This would be my "never go anywhere else" breakfast place if I lived close to Long Beach. Just go there.

Though we showed up past 11 on a Sunday we were seated in about 10-15 minutes from putting our names in and sat happily at the bar. Ordered a shared Breakfast Slider order and some waters. I was super tempted to try the Carrot Pancakes but after the sliders came out I was feeling like it might've been too much so I opted for a single buckwheat pancake with berries and it was absolutely perfect! The texture of the pancake itself was divine as it soaked up any bit of warm and fresh maple syrup while still maintaining surprising integrity and no sign of sog in sight! My partner enjoyed the buttermilk pancakes with no complaints and a particular taking to the thick cut bacon! 8.5/10 the only reasons for docking points was parking and the mocha muchaco being a little too milk forward. I might order with an extra shot of espresso next time but i'll definitely be returning!

I walk here from work and the wait times fluctuate depending on the weekday (mon and fri are…read moreusually the busiest during lunchtime). The drinks are consistent and ive had several matchas so far. Id say the matchas are more on the watery side (i dont mean diluted, but the matcha is not that creamy). The following is my review of the matchas ive tried: 1) banana jackfruit matcha: jackfruit taste isnt strong and i wish it was a bit stronger. It was more fragrant than flavorful. however, i do enjoy the taste of banana and jackfruit together. Its very unique and i havent seen cafes with this flavor combo before 2) mot hai ba (pandan + coconut): my all time favorite. The cream top help makes the matcha thicker and all the flavors are balanced well 3) strawberry shortcake matcha: strawberry flavor is not that strong imo and most of the strawberry flavor i got was from the topping itself. I recommend this to people who wanna try matcha for the first time 4) lychee matcha: initial taste threw me off, but its refreshing and it grew on me the more i drank it. However, i personally wouldnt get this again The only qualm i have with this place is that there hasnt been any air conditioning in the store during the two weeks ive visited. IT IS STUFFY AND HOT. i sweat so much whenever i come visit. fortunately, the drinks come out super fast. The lack of ventilation is not stopping me from coming back tho
