    Bidet.
    Becky W.

    Visited this place for the first time to celebrate my birthday this past weekend and it was such a wonderful experience. Firstly, since it's all plant-based, I was able to eat literally anything off the menu, which is always delightful. Started the meal with a Tricolore Salad and the Pizza Montanara for appetizers. The Salad was good, best when you can get a bit of every ingredient in each bite. The Pizza Montanara was hotter than magma when we received it, but once it cooled and we were able to tear it into pieces, it was very, very good. These two items themselves would be a great light meal. We had glasses of red wine with the main course, which paired well with the pastas we chose. One Vesuvio, which was really tasty with a little chili heat (not so much so that it made eating it a rough job,) and another pasta dish that I can't recall the name of that was very lemony and cooling. We both shared these dishes and the alternating between the two very different flavor profiles was really fun. The online menu doesn't have these pastas listed in the "Dinner" section, but the in-store menu did. The only thing that was kind of a bummer was that they were out of things like meatballs, olives, and a couple other items, but we were still able to choose dishes that were delicious. The restaurant's vibe is very laidback and like, elevated casual, if that makes sense. They have great little water glasses and everything has a modern feel, from the green decor accents to the fancy pasta forks, which are the first of their kind I've ever seen. The bathroom had a bidet, which was my first experience with the same, and it was cool and fun. Thorough! I laughed at the sticker on the bidet saying it WILL spray you in the face. All in all, this was a fantastic experience. Definitely be patient with finding parking, as we all know how 4th Street is. This will likely become a favorite celebration meal destination.

    VEGAN REVIEW OMG, so good! I'd argue that this spot rivals Pura Vita for amazing vegan Italian. Hubby & I shared a caesar salad, meat lovers pizza, sausage pasta & lemon blueberry pound cake. Everything was absolutely delicious-- fresh ingredients & amazing flavors. Lovely ambiance, nice indoor/outdoor seating. Friendly service. Everything is made from scratch to order, so enjoy a leisurely meal.

    I cannot even count how many times I've dined at MangiaFoglie since I first went in Spring 2025. Even that first time, we went for dinner and then returned the next morning for coffee and pastries, after finding out from our server the night before that they had coffee service. And later we found out about the special weekend brunch menu and had to check that out. Eventually we went to try the lunch service, too. We even attended a special reservation-only Valentine's Day prix fixe dinner, which was mind-blowing! We were the only couple in our section that didn't have any left overs to bring home, hahaha! So you might say we are super fans of this trattoria -- and I say "trattoria" because this is an Italian inspired cafe AND there is a family-run element to it in that the chef-owner's mom is the pasticcere. The combination of their talents has brought us back again and again, with their ever-evolving menu of baked goods in the morning, and rotating --often seasonal --menus for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The imported Italian wine elevates the experience even more, selected to pair wonderfully with the cuisine. The restaurant itself is fairly unassuming; casual but classy, and well thought-out. There is indoor and outdoor seating, with huge glass doors that open up 2/3 of the wall so that even when you're inside, you still feel the lively atmosphere of 4th Street. Dinner on Friday and Saturday can get a bit busy, especially as they only seat so many tables at a time, staggering the guest flow a bit. Still, the wait has never been overly long. Mornings are super chill, as are lunch hours, with brunch a little busier, but not too crazy.

    Caesar Salad
    Mary T.

    A vegan place on 4th. We tried a couple of salad and their Meat Pizza with white sauce. I LOVED the Caesar Salad and my friends enjoyed their Tri-Salad. The Caesar Salad dressing was rich and creamy and I loved how the romaine lettuce leaves were painted with it. The air fryed capers (or whatever they were) were delish. The croutons very good. I think an appetizer with some homemade bread and hummus would be awesome. The meat carne pizza had a great crust but the toppings too light for me. Service mixed. Friendly. But please don't bring one salad out at a time. Makes it weird for a party of 4.

    I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. I am not vegetarian or vegan by any means, but some of my good friends are. We came here on their suggestion, and it was fantastic. All the food was delicious, nothing disappointed, but our personal favorites were the Salsiccia pasta and the Truffle pizza. To top it off, the desserts were perfect. Not too sweet, and a great way to end the meal. Our server last night was very friendly, and they accommodate our group of four by re-organizing the tables. Please note, this is a very small restaurant and they do not take reservations for groups of less than 6 people. We happily waited for our turn and had a drink at a bar nearby. We will definitely come back!

    Went in around 7pm Sunday night and the place was packed! We waited about less than 30 min, and the staff was very friendly. Service was a bit slow but they did have lots of people and a big party outside. The restaurant gave a very family friendly vibe. The employees seemed to get a long great which I think created the comfortable ambiance. The bathroom had a bidet & a mouthwash station! The food was AMAZING. First we had the tricolore salad which was sky high and packed with flavors. It has som pieces of mandarin walnuts and "cheese." Our pizza is what took a minute but was wroth it. So delicious and we ate it so fast. I also had a glass of prosecco. 10/10 and I must come back to try the rest! Our total was 60 before taxes. Not bad for 2 people!

    Wow! Amazing! We had a party of six and I'm the only vegan but everyone loved everything. The sausage pasta is the best pasta I've ever had. The flavors were divine!! We ordered pizza and all the appetizers. We demolished the meatballs and bread. Restaurant has open kitchen and the chef is very engaging even though he was very busy!! Thank you chef/owner. Great place please give it a try you don't regret it!! A new gem in Long Beach. Street parking all around. They accept reservations for party of 6 or more otherwise FCFS.

    Evoo Cake, Cinammon Roll, Muffin Loaf
    Katherine B.

    This 5 star is for the olive oil cake alone. WOW!! The notes of cardamom sing. This is truly the perfect autumnal cake. I want this for my birthday with affogato - it would be a literal match made in heaven. Warm this cake up for 25 seconds if you take it home, it is just divine. The loaf muffin was also amazing. I love savory so this was very much up my alley. Great texture, great aroma. A little dense but that's because it's a loaf still! The cinnamon roll is a very solid cinnamon roll, but it didn't stand out for me as much. But again, I'm a savory gal, so I'm probably not the best judge. I will say the inside has tons of cinnamon! The service was lovely. The gentleman who helped me was extremely friendly and welcoming. I would come back to try their entrees. They have ample seating both inside and outside. Parking could be a little tough, but it's worth it! Definitely support this local business. You won't regret it!!

    Love this place! Whenever I'm in LB i make it a point to come. My go-tos: Lunch: "meatball" sandwich Dinner: gnocchi and pizza Coffee: Marzipan and lemon are both delicious Pastries are also yummy, lemon is my fave The team is so sweet and knowledgeable. I come here just to eat or take meetings as well!

    First time @mangiafoglie it's so yummy also vegan . I had a vanilla latte it was delicious l couldn't tell that it was actually vegan. The service is great has a cool vibe. The decor is has a home vibe to enjoy and to possibly do some work...

    Spicy sausage pasta and lemon pasta
    Harvey C.

    First off, the service here is amazing. The waitress came by so often to make sure that we had everything that we needed. There was never even a glass of water that was left dry or halfway. The restaurant itself is really tiny with a very small limited amount of indoor seating. They have a little bit more room outside in the patio, but the problem is on those chilly or rainy or windy night. The patio will become unusable. Now for the food, I recommend that you go family style and each person orders a dish and then split it amongst everybody that is there in order to get the full experience. Everything here is vegan from the meat. It's actually not meat it's made from other things like the shrimp is made from a fruit and it actually taste like shrimp. The sausage too is made from other products, but there is actually no meat product in that sausage our party ordered two pizzas one was sausage. The other one was the fig and order two different pastas, spicy sausage pasta, and the lemon pasta. Everything was delicious. Very tasty personally for me a little on the salty side, but everybody else thought it was perfectly fine. as for starters, we had the cuoppo which tasted like shrimps, but was actually not shrimps and had potato balls in it too along with that we had a Caesar salad which is seasoned right and for dessert definitely take the olive oil cake and the tartlette if they have it

    My new favorite place. You wouldn't guess that everything here is Vegan. Scratch made cheeses, meats, pasta and pizza dough wood burning Pizza oven, you can sit at the bar and watch them make your pizzas. Although it does make the restaurant VERY hot!! We got the mushrooms truffle pizza with the white sauce and it was amazingly delicious. This is vegan heaven, you can get all the Italian foods you crave and it tastes legit like real meat and cheese!!! My son's pasta was also very delicious. I can't wait to come back soon. They do not take reservations and it seems like there is always a wait. Plus hard to find parking in the area, but it is all worth it.

    Tricolor salad
    Kaye Y.

    So happy to have tried this 100% plant based Italian spot. The service was vibe and super chill. They were out of so items and shared that with us as soon as we were seated. We maily had salads, pizzas, gnocchi and the olive oil cake. Everything was delicious and great proportions for sharing. The pizza is made to order and can take sometime so I recommend ordering your pizza as soon as possible. I also had lemonade, which was SOOOO good, it was super fresh, not overly sweet. The pizza dough is also so good, we had to ask again if everything was plant based, because the flavors were so robust and well balanced. I'm in awe of how delicious every single dish was without a miss. They have a small seating area with both indoor and outdoor options. Also, the restrooms have bidet! (Pretty fancy). No disappointments here. The prices reflect the quality, so not an daily spot to visit. But we'll worth it.

We ended up ordering the fondue for the app (24.00) which comes with bite size pieces of bread and diced apples. It was ok, a little too runny and had an interesting hint of beer flavor. Next up we both ordered the brie & prosciutto sandwich which came with a side of au gratin and greens. The sandwich was excellent but the potatoes were cold. We ended our meal sharing creme brulee for dessert. It was good but also served cold. Total bill incl tip: 163.00 bucks (double ouch)! Overall, meal and service was good, but I would forego the wine on a future visit as it was way overpriced for the brand we got as well as the cheese fondue. Will definitely be back though. Very comfy and charming atmosphere.

The kind of fell flat on the food for me tonight. I did not taste the burger that my husband ordered so I can't speak for that. But I did try the Ordinarie Fries, which the menu said were covered in beef gravy, green chili cheese sauce, and cheese. It sounded really delicious and interesting so we ordered that as an appetizer. It was quite a let down. It wasn't really smothered, so you pretty much didn't have any toppings on the fries below. The beef gravy was good, but I didn't ever get a taste of green chili and that bummed me out. I would not order these again. I ordered the wedge salad and add it on salmon. The wedge salad was pretty basic. There was very little bacon on it and way too much blue cheese. In fact, I ended up leaving a huge amount of blue cheese on my plate. The salmon was quite small and super salty. Overall I was not happy at all with the food here, although I will say I've had good food here before. Also, my husband and son thought their food was pretty good. I would come back, but order something different. And absolutely come back for their pop-ups which are amazing!

The menu has a ton of really detailed options, each drink with its own depth. The menu changes seasonally but what doesn't change is the smoked old fashioned - a must-order. They smoke your drink in a glass container using applewood chips; it's quite a show and it also does make the drink much more enjoyable. Ask the bartender and they can also help guide you to a drink - I've done it a couple of times and always pleasantly surprised. Next up, the food! The hummus was very flavorful and paired with an amazing fluffy pita bread. The truffle fries were solid but the plate was HUGE, definitely needs a friend to share. The Nashville wings are the star of the show. I cannot stress this enough, this is worth a DRIVE for. The seasoning really does remind you of Howlin' Rays (the highest compliment) and the chicken is extremely crispy yet insanely juicy. The pickles and ranch that it comes with pairs so well. Do note that they are tossing it in pork fat, which enhances the depth but also makes it a little greasy at the end. I also wished they'd warn you this and offer to order it without it; especially for those who don't eat pork or for those trying to cut some calories. There's a happy hour menu too!!! So you can get drinks and food even cheaper. I cannot stop thinking about this place. It's such a sleeper. Head to Midnight Oil after a visit to continue your night.

    Navy Proof is the restaurant and bar inside the Westin Long Beach lobby. The open atrium with high…read moreceilings and large windows looks impressive, but in the early afternoon the sun made the space feel warm and greenhouse-like. The bartender was excellent. He went into the kitchen for fresh berries, muddled them with Tito's and soda, and made a genuinely refreshing summertime drink that helped with the heat...! I eventually ordered the Crispy Shrimp & Calamari to eat as my main (I was dining alone). I had recently had a very notable version of the same dish at a Canopy by Hilton in Washington DC, and unfortunately, this one did not measure up. The breading was average and the sweet chili aioli was poor. I asked for ranch instead, which was an improvement but still not great. The portion itself was fine. Service was solid and friendly! I'd rate the staff around a 4. Based on the food I had, the kitchen lands closer to a 2.5 to 3. Fine if you're already in the hotel and want something casual, but not an amazing choice for the fried seafood.

I have been a customer of Nick's 40+ times at minimum. However, they really need to start adding more salads to their menu. The traditional Nick's menu is good, it's very solid. I am a big fan of their filets, petit bistro salad, steak salad, and fish. None of those should be cut! But there needs to be, at minimum, one to two more entrée salad options. Quinoa is great, but doesn't work for everyone. Even just one or two added entree salads would make it much more enticing to return, especially for mixed gender groups. Ideally, the chef could rotate this salad through new concepts seasonally. No need for new menus, just do a specials card. If that's not possible, then one or two permanent salad items to cater to the health foodies would be AMAZING. The main issue is that the Nick's menu lacks innovation, which makes it hard to bring business partners or friends there on repeat visits. I wouldn't be so bothered except that the last time I went to Nick's I added chicken to a salad and they gave me a very poorly prepared piece of low quality chicken with three mouthfuls of bone and gristle. I can accept a stagnant menu if it is always prepared excellently, but I can't accept an inconsistent preparation and stagnant menu. Thank you to everyone at Nick's. Appreciate you all a lot.
