The…read moreupgrades to the place are beautiful, the atmosphere feels elevated, and the menu has been spruced up without losing the classic dishes everyone loves. My absolute favorite is Sal's Favorite Chicken A perfectly crispy chicken cutlet with spinach, topped with a fried burrata. Insane. If you go, order it. They have adorable outdoor seating for the warmer months, great cocktails, and consistently excellent food. You can tell everything is made with care. What really sets Viaggio's apart now is the new owner A true gentleman. He checks on every table, makes sure customers are happy, and even sent over complimentary limoncello shots because he noticed we'd been there a few weeks in a row. That personal touch means everything. If you haven't been in a while, definitely give it another shot. Viaggio's is absolutely worth the visit!

Starting with a Tomato Martini and a "Summer Old Fashioned", both tasty and refreshing, we split a delightful "Summer Salad". Our mains were BBQ Spiced Duck Breast with Blueberry Gastrique and corn polenta ( great!!) and Pasta with Clams (Little Necks, green noodles and guanciale) quite flavorful... with one complaint The guanciale was chopped up very small, therefore went into the dish with some pieces very very hard to chew. We ordered the side of Charred Wax Beans and Cashews and as usual we added guanciale to this... the wax beans were unavailable so green beans were subbed.. just OK but the same issue with the guanciale ( and they were ++$7.00) But all in all, we enjoyed the meal.

They were packed so they seated us at the last 2 seats left at the bar near the host stand. There was an acoustic singer and guitar player adding to the energetic ambience. We were handed the place mats and menus upon seating. Then it took about 15 min to order a drink. Then another 25 min before we could place our food order. The female bartender was attentive to all the parties around us, and people who came in after us seemed to be a priority. The barback finally noticed us and helped us while he was also busting out drinks. He noticed we were trying to get her attention so he stepped in kindly and took our order. We ordered the Grilled Artichokes, the Burger, and Chicken Carbonara. (Wanted the Bolognese but someone had just ordered the last one by 8pm?!) She never checked in for a second round, so we didn't bother after about 20 min we gave up. The Artichokes came out about 20 min after ordering. They plopped them in front of us, no utensils or napkins. I had to ask the barback for some. The busser seemed disgruntled a said they only had forks. Had to flag someone else for napkins, and they brought us a pile of c-fold paper towels, when they usually have cloth napkins as we noticed with patrons who came in after us. My sis-in-law and I wolf down the 4 pieces of artichokes, using our fork and hands to cut into pieces (no knife). Then another 30 min before our mains come out. Couldn't even ask anyone for a food status update, so just tried to enjoy the live music and each other's company to distract from hunger pangs. The burger and carbonara finally show and looks great. The portions were generous. Fries were a little blonde and just underdone but seasoned enough. The carbonara was delicious as well, nice and al dente. We enjoyed our food and chatted. Music was on the louder side but for a Friday night at 8ish pm, that is not uncalled for. The restaurant started to end their rush and the bar emptied out a tad, but the service did not improve. Asked for the bill and to-go containers as soon as I could flag someone bc I knew it would take awhile to get them. Of course when getting the bill things progressed speedily, so we paid and tried to get out as soon as we were done. The staff there was hot and cold. Barback was helpful and everyone else seemed "annoyed" to have to help us with simple requests that shouldn't have to be requested to begin with. Again I understand rushes happen and staff can become overwhelmed. The bar team had to service the bar and some high tops nearby plus make drinks for the rest of the restaurant, so I understand the volume was high, but again the management team should plan accordingly to make sure the diners do not have to feel the lag in the service. Food was good but left a little disappointed from the service.

A restaurant which looks upscale and rustic from the inside, but sadly the food disappointed…read more Stopped by for the Sunday brunch and while the waitress was super nice, the food took extremely long to come out. Naturally if the food is taking a long time to be made, I will have higher expectations for the food tasting good due to it being made to order. I think the issue is with the recipes of the dishes themselves. The flavors of the huevos rancheros did not go together- somehow there was something sweet in them which surprised me. I also was not a fan of the flatbread due to the flavors and texture not melding well. My mom felt that something tasted off about the chicken dish. The best dish was probably the French toast which my brother liked. The price of the meal ended up being expensive considering the taste. I think the restaurant can work on improving their recipes.

I ordered the Tuscan chicken salad: a large chicken breast covered in delicious melted mozzarella, tomatoes, onions and balsamic, and served over ton of arugula. It was delicious and I had plenty to take home. My husband had the chicken pot pie which he found to be excellent: a large portion as well, with a light and airy crust and filled with a tasty sauce, vegetables and chicken. No leftovers there! No room for dessert or coffee sadly; the menu looked great.

The servers were all super sweet, and the hostess' did their best to accommodate our group. We ordered two drinks-Cucumber Cooler and the Indian Summer. The Cucumber Cooler was pretty refreshing and reminded me a lot of a mojito. The Indian Summer, however, was extremely tangy and tart, so I wasn't the biggest fan. For our food, we got a Charcuterie Board, Spicy Chicken Rigatoni, Smokehouse Burger, and Cedar-Plank Salmon. We honestly devoured the Charcuterie Board as soon as it was placed down in front of us. I loved the toast paired with the meats, cheese, and fig. The Smokehouse Burger is honestly so filling. I was pretty full from a quarter of the burger, because it was so packed with things (onion rings, cheese, patty, etc.). The fries are also a classic. The rigatoni was also pretty good; it's your classic vodka sauce. As for the salmon, I was a HUGE fan. The maple-bourbon glaze on the salmon gave it a nice smoky, savory, and sweet flavor that paired amazingly with the garlic herb rice. I could honestly eat this for days. Overall, the food, service, and vibe were pretty nice. I see why so many Long Beach natives recommend this spot. We were also seated in their half indoor/half outdoor area, and the weather was beautiful that day, so it was really nice to experience. Highly recommend coming here !

Regardless, we had some summer drinks that were offered on a summer drink menu. We loved all seven of the drinks. I had the watermelon, basil smash, and the blackberry basil. Margarita, fantastic drinks. We sat at the bar for drinks initially, but decided to stay for dinner because the bartender was out of his mind. What a great Server... and without a doubt he is a great drink Maker. For dinner we had the beef aroncino (rice ball) special, the Mediterranean salad and the grilled Octopus as starters. All 3 apps were delish. The entrees were full of flavor and cooked perfectly to the correctly ordered temps. The ribeye steak was amazing and the grilled pork chop special, served with garlic mash potatoes and grill asparigus was just as good. Jonathan made us the perfect cappuccinos as well as recommended two desserts for us the triple chocolate mousse cake and the pistachio ricotta cake. Just like his drinks those desserts were right on point. We couldn't have been happier with tonight selection we were supposed to go somewhere else and the plan fell through. Low and behold, we wound up at Selitas and let me tell you next time the plans will be at Selita's because the food, service, atmosphere, music, and the clientele that seem to be regulars at the bar... They're all awesome. Can't to get there again soon.

We had read a lot of positive reviews about Selita's on Yelp and had also seen quite a few…read moreadvertisements and specials for the restaurant on Facebook, so we decided to finally give it a try. Unfortunately, Selita's failed with the first impression. We walked past a very small bar and into the dining room, which had a musty smell. The green walls, red leather tufted seats, and mirrors on the walls gave the place a very dated, old-fashioned feel. Since it was our first time there, we decided to play it safe and just order a couple of appetizers. We had the grilled octopus and the eggplant Parmigiana. The eggplant Parmigiana was tasty, but we would not consider it an authentic Italian dish. The grilled octopus, on the other hand, was a completely different story. It was incredibly tough and chewy - honestly, it was like eating a garden hose. It really seemed as though it had been cooked ahead of time and then reheated. When we left, my wife looked at me and said, "We're never coming back here again." Unfortunately, I had to agree. That's really a shame because we genuinely wanted to like Selita's. It's close to home, and we were hoping to find a new local favorite. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I suppose that's the chance you take when trying a new restaurant. Sometimes you find a gem, and sometimes you don't. Unfortunately, Selita's was a "swing and a miss" for us.
