Outstanding! In addition to an extremely well priced menu PLUS a mid week Prix fixe (4 courses for $19.95!) No kidding !! ,
the menu is versatile, traditional with a few interesting nightly "specials" and the food is excellent.
The first time we were there, I had the fish special- red snapper filet with clams & shrimp in a light tomato sauce- excellent. my husband had the veal osso bucco- wonderful- tender & fall off the bone perfection.
The start you with their "complimentary" home made polenta- filled with cheese & topped with a nice rich tomato sauce. The tri color salad was huge & served just the way I love- a chilled salad plate! The vongole clams over linguine for an appetizer was delicious!
Last night, we had the double cut veal chop- grilled to perfection with large chunks of mushrooms, onions & peppers, served with a large potato cake & sauteed veggies.
I had the whole Branzino (sorry) I like it what can I say- boned table side & served with two sauces- a light beurre blanc & also some fresh garlic in olive oil w/ lemon- great!
Desserts are all homemade- cheesecake, tiramisu, and cannolis- of course and one of the BEST & largest Cappuccino' s I have ever had- very good!
SInce there are only a small group of 'GOOD' dining choices in Long Beach (in my opinion) this one is worth the trip!!!
