“ My family and I love going to this place! Everything in the menu is delicious. The atmosphere is nice with an outdoor dining in the back that you didn’t even know existed. Sometimes they have live music there and the service is always wonderful! We are always greeted and checked on by Carlos and company. Definitely a place to go if you are craving some good Italian food! -Ale, Liz, & Brando ”
“ Great Italian food. The menu had a lot of tempting options. The wine list is long with all the classics including spumante. Service is pretty good and the waiter is knowledgeable. The restaurant has a very European feel... Very welcoming. We went on a Saturday night and there was a live musician. The music was soft and low allowing my date and I to talk at a comfortable level. I'll definitely be returning. ”
“ The cooking here is excellent. My husband and I started with the Havana to garlic flatbread which was quite tasty. He had the gnocchi pesto and I had the ravioli al porcini. Both pastas were perfectly al dente and the sauces were delicious. We finished with bombas to complete the meal. What an exquisite experience! ”
“ We came out from West Hollywood and absolutely loved Tarantella on 4th! The food was incredible — we ordered the carbonara, lemon chicken, and pappardelle with tomato cream sauce, and everything was delicious. You can really feel the heart in this family-owned business. The service was amazing — super warm and attentive without being overbearing. We’ll be back soon! ”
“ I have to say I was immediately impressed by this location. It was intimate, and the atmosphere was beautiful. My favorite thing was being served by the owner, it felt as if I was in Italy. It truly felt like an experience rather than just dining out. The owner uses the large cheese to make the pasta in front of you and it’s quite a show. I highly recommend it and I hope the owner continues to make his appearance. ”
“ The back patio is really cool. Food is good, not just the usual Italian. Get the fettuccine that's made inside a block of cheese! ”
“ We were visiting from Michigan for a work conference celebrating our last night in Long Beach, CA. Not only was the food phenomenal the customer service was top tier. We had a reservation and although we were seated a bit passed what we had anticipated they we’re extremely accommodating and even gave us all complimentary peach Prosecco on the house which is there house Prosecco I highly recommend, best I’ve ever had! ”
