The Scene
Situated along Long Beach's historic downtown Pine Avenue, the elegant setting and upper-echelon clientele are likely to impress dining companions. Large jade columns, white linens and warm candlelight provide a romantic atmosphere, enhanced by live opera singers on the weekends. Service is impeccable.
The Food
Beautiful presentations, a commitment to authentic Italian dishes and an extensive wine list leave customers fully satisfied. Appetizers like fresh buffalo mozzarella wrapped in paper-thin slices of prosciutto, and chunks of perfectly rare, center-cut ahi tuna melt on the tongue. Pastas are exemplary: A homemade beet tortelli filled with mozzarella is enhanced with truffle essence and champagne, and artichoke ravioli filled with duck and smooth marscapone cheese in a creamy walnut sauce is equally unforgettable. A wide choice of third-course entrees includes veal, chicken and fish, but the roasted rack of lamb stands out for its achingly tender meat and rich flavor.
