Michael's Downtown 210 East 3rd Street, Long Beach, CA 90802

"Visited with a friend, and, overall, enjoyed our experience. The food was good, but the service was slow and inattentive for an upscale establishment. The lasagna was the stand-out dish - the meat was extremely flavorful, lots of cheese, and the pasta was fresh. There was tons of sauce - it was served in a deep-disk skillet - that was also flavorful. They have a great little bar with a fireplace in the center, which would be wonderful on a chilly evening. The calamari was fresh, but just a bit greasy. I'm sure we'll visit again."

"Amazing! Best pizza I have had outside of Naples, Italy! The food is fantastic and the service is impeccable (ask for Jesse). I have been to a lot of Italian restaurants around the world and this one tops the list thanks to Executive Chef Giuseppe, who is from Italy. I hope you can share in a great experience."

"Nice little gem tucked away in downtown Long Beach. We weren't originally planning on going there but decided to give it a try when we looked at the menu. So glad we did. Food was awesome and the service was great."

"The Margherita pizza was delicious! It was just the right amount of cheese, dough, sauce and toppings. The dough nice and soft. I recommend this spot and I’m Italian. It can be hard to find good Italian restaurants and real pizza."

"Had a really nice evening here! We ordered drinks, apps and dinner. The staff was friendly and really knew their stuff about the menu. There were a ton of specials which they rattled off easily and answered questions on. The outdoor seating was a nice change! We had the lasagna, pizza and the Brie appetizer. All the food was delicious, really well thought out and conceptualized. My only complaint was once we were all done it took a good 20-25 minutes to get the check, and we were so tired. We just wanted to go sleep off all the carbs!"
