La Parolaccia Osteria - Long Beach - (Near Long Beach, CA)

4 /5 Nathan Hanners: This was a great place to go for a weekend date night. Very fun atmosphere and the food was delicious. I really enjoyed the way the decorated the restaurant for Halloween with the skeleton in the car. Service was fast and courteous. I appreciated the way they offered more but didnt push. Our waiter made recommendations that met our expectations. I had the ravioli and it was great!

3 /5 angie san.: While the basic flavor of the food was enjoyable, there were some quality control issues, specifically with the pizza: both the bottom and sides were unfortunately burnt. A lack of prosciutto and empty spaces on the pizza check picture). Addressing this consistent execution would greatly elevate the dining experience. Additionally, the service was quite inconsistent. We felt a bit neglected during our meal, as we were frequently ignored by both the waitress and the busboy. Simple requests, like getting a drink refill, required a long wait, as did receiving our check after we requested it.

5 /5 Napoleon Navarro: This restaurant was such a wonderful experience. The food is very flavorful with such creamy pasta and a fair amount of mushrooms and sausage. I ordered the Timballo con Carne and was blown away by how good the sauce was. The staff was very friendly and the food came out in about five or ten minutes which was surprising.

4 /5 Cyannah Amadeus: Great, friendly service!Food was good, however its authentic Italian and you really have to know the menu regarding what you order. They do offer nightly dinner specials and are happy to assist with explaining your meal options.

5 /5 Melodie Delgado: Decided last minute to come for our anniversary on a random weeknight, arrived before 6pm and had to wait 25-30 minutes! Definitely a great sign when the restaurant just opened at 4pm and there were so many people already coming and going. We ordered the special and probably was my least favorite dish, it was missing something for us, but was also my first time trying mortadella, which was much lighter in flavor than I anticipated. The bread was amazing though! I ordered the lasagna and honestly, fell in love. It was the perfect size with enough sauce all around- warm, gooey, and the sauce really holds the dish perfectly. I would love a lasagna on a cold winter night. My husband enjoyed his pasta dish as well. My only complaint is that they did not have many options for non-alcoholic drinks- despite having what seems like a full bar near the front? Our Italian sodas were from bottles/cans that we’ve seen before, so that was less exciting for me. The vibe was cool because it was casual or dressy- depending on who was there and our food was served right away. Overall, I’d love to come back and try more items out and I will continue to dream about that lovely lovely lasagna.
