This establishment needs to shut their door and do us a favor. There was nothing enjoyable in this dinning experience except leaving.. I wouldn't eat there for free.
love the atmosphere here ... warm and inviting ...food is spotty - wine is mediocre ... the George Martin group gets it right in RVC with George Martin and the Grillfire - can't seem to do it in Long Beach ... restaurants are beautiful but they are missing something ...
A very good place for a reasonable price, the wines here are excellent as are the steaks and burgers.
The salad on the house is an extra treat. Service is spotty, hit and miss.
This place has a menu which is Northan Italian, which is what a Pizzeria serves. Pasta with Red sauce, Chicken Parm, Eggplant Parm... You get the idea. Problem with this place is that it costs 3 times what a Pizzeria costs and the food is Poor to horrendous. If you know anything about southern Italian Food you will know the COOK in the back does not, he should have stayed at the Wing Hut..
Can you tell? I love this place! Not only do I go to eat but we love to just hang out at the bar and pick. Veal poppers? Stuffed Portobello mushrooms? A sinful pot of Steaming Mussels? I ask you? What's not to love?
