Loved it!! Authentic Italian! Their special, which was a pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe was amazing! I'd ordered something different but would have loved to trade dishes with my husband. The bitterness of the vegetable was amazing! More...

Thank you Lorenzo for a wonderful dining experience. I had dinner with my sister & daughter and started off with the calamari fritti & stuffed zucchini flowers(can't & won't pretend to know the Italian names for theses dishes) and shared tortellini, peppered spaghetti, and fettuccini with porcini mushrooms & sausage. The dishes were flavorful and portioned just enough so we could enjoy our Italian wine without feeling full. I highly recommend the Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2015, very bold & full bodied. Service was friendly and attentive and although we did not have dessert, they have a good variety of pastries & dessert wines to enjoy. This is not your regular pizza & pasta joint, come and savor authentic Italian fare with your friends and family! More...

I cannot speak highly enough of this establishment! I've eaten here on many occasions and they have never disappointed. As someone with a history as a picky eater, I frequently find the courage to try new items and I'm always overwhelmed by the flavors and textures they present. The authentic quality of this restaurant and their service is wonderful, as well.A small anecdote, as this is written during the covid lockdown: I ordered a to-go meal for my family and I was picking it up and chatting with one of the owners. He asked about my family and I shared that we have newborn twins at home. On my way out the door he gave me a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate! It was a lovely gesture and I can't wait for our next meal with them! More...

Amazing authentic Italian!! We tried it last night for the first time.. The eggplant Parmesan was cooked to perfection! My son had a very lightly breaded chicken breast with arugula potatoes and tomatoes that was light simple and amazing. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian food at a very affordable price! We will definitely make this a regular restaurant for me and my family! More...

I've been craving for a creme brûlée but I couldn't find many options in Long Beach until I stumbled upon the Vino e Cucina's creme brûlée cheesecake, which is to die for (a phrase I never used to describe any food until this review). I ordered the carbonara which was amazing in its own right but the creme brûlée cheesecake made a higher impression upon me. It costs $10 for a slice which seems a bit pricy but it is also fair in terms of its unique flavor and deliciousness. I will say I wish it was a tad bigger like the ones from Doll Babee Cheesecakes, but it is still worth it. It's a perfect blend of both great desserts into one. I will be ordering another side of pasta to complement the creme brûlée cheesecake the next time I order takeout during these trying times for small and local businesses/restaurants. More...

This is quite the quaint little Italian place. Very delicious authentic handmade pasta dishes. You can not go wrong with any of their dishes. Whenever I visit a city I choose Italiano food and I'm so happy my husband chose this place. They have Excellent house specialties. More...

Exceptional food, outstanding service. So glad we came back tonight after living out of the area for a while. Loved the warm bread to hold us over as we reviewed our menu choices. Tried the artichoke appetizer which was absolutely wonderful and the special appetizer of zucchini blossoms, equally delicious. For main entrees we had the spaghetti carbonara and the Gorgonzola pasta dish with walnuts. Our plates were completely empty and we left too full for dessert , sadly. Definitely will be back to try more of their amazing dishes and will try to save room for dessert! More...

First time in, we came early to beat the rush as it is always busy. Waited on by the owner took his recommendations on the wine, anti pasta and dinner, all were great choices and really hit it out of the park. The food was great, as well the service and we liked the over all vibe. Diffidently putting it on the list of regular places to eat now. Thanks Lorenzo for a great meal! More...

A Very Italian experience. I was impressed by every aspect of the experience. The owner is right there with us, helping us to make the best choices for our tastes. He is very passionate about his place and rightly so. My new favorite Hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Gourmet dishes at easy to pay prices. More...

This place is soooo good! Me and my fiancé were looking for small quiet place to have dinner, and came across this Gem! The Lasagna is amazing, and the carbonara was delicious! Bottom line just really good authentic Italian food. The best part is that they make you feel like you are at home! The service is impeccable! I highly recommend this place. More...

My husband, kids and I are here from Louisiana visiting my mother in law. She took us here for the second time last night. We liked it the first time we went a couple of years ago, but I fell completely in love with this place last night! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting; the service is outstanding; and the food and wine are simply delicious! Even my super picky young sons enjoyed everything! I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try the Short Ribs special. Order it. You won’t regret it! If I lived in Long Beach, I’m sure the staff would soon know my name! ❤️ More...
