We live right across the street and noticed all the commotion so I
had to finally try your food this evening. I had the special with a
lobster tail on black and white pasta with scallops. It was delicious!
The house wine was excellent. The small salad was wonderful, even the
spread on the bread was a pleasure to devour! My wife had the
Yellowtail with tomato and basil which was a healthy sized portion
that was a pleasure to finish when she couldn't handle the generous
portion. Again, it was perfectly seasoned with fresh herbs that were
bursting with flavor. Oh yeah, the crunchy stuffed artichoke hearts
were amazing as was the Tiramisu for dessert, which was as
smooth as silk. The service was friendly and it was good to speak with
nearly the whole staff during the course of the meal. Needless to say,
we'll be back very soon! - Michael and Sheri
See you Soon!
You are a great addition to our Long Beach community. We love you and your food! - Michele and Lynn

I have enjoyed your restaurant on more than one occasion and was a guest to your 1 yr party with my neighbors, who are on your email distribution. Thanks for the invitation, wonderful food, and warm atmosphere. - Danny

A New Find!!!
We came across your restaurant while shopping in the card shop next to you one recent lazy Sunday afternoon. The girl behind the counter recommended we try you because it's the neighborly thing to do... get in line to wait your turn for great food. We did and immediately thought it was the perfect 1/2 way place for our relatives in Redondo Beach to meet since we live in Newport Beach.
You made our evening so fun with little tid bits about how this wonderful place came to be and taste your delicous food. You are now a permanent fixture on our favorite places to eat. - Barbara and Conrad
Thank You
Susan and I thank you both from our hearts for how wonderful our rehearsal dinner was. You guys helped make everyone feel like we all were part of the same family, and that La Parolaccia was just an extension of our dining room. We are both honored and excited to have you in our neighborhood, and in our lives. We will gladly put the responsibility of feeding fine meals to our family for many years to come. Your friends and neighbors - Dan and Susan
Good Eating
After living in Italy for a few years, I came back to a dearth of
good Italian restaurants until La Parolaccia opened around the corner
from my apartment on Broadway and Orizaba in Long Beach. I have had no
cause for complaint since. The owners are Italian (Nick's from Milan,
Stefano's from Roma), people they hire speak Italian, Italian people
frequent the place (when I went there a few weeks back I heard Italian
being spoken all over the restaurant), and the wine list has excellent
Italian varietals. The food is mouth-wateringly awesome and the
atmosphere is akin to many of the places I frequented while living in
Italy. The menu changes twice yearly, although I normally ask for the
daily specials. This is not Americanized Italian food, overflowing
with cheese and entirely too much marinara nastiness. This is simple
cuisine, the flavors of the different food items in complement to each
other, blending into what can only be described as authentic fare. If
you haven't traveled to Italy, La Parolaccia is but a taste--although
a very excellent example--of what Italy has to offer. - Vincent
Thanks for a great meal
I took a date to your restaurant tonight and we both had a great
time. The food was excellent--the seabass special was INCREDIBLE. I
just wanted to say thanks for a great meal--not only will I be
back--but I will be recommending your restaurant to all my friends.
Your wine list was very good as well. We got the recommendation from
Rick @ Brix. Thanks again! - Jason
The Best
