Everything came out at the perfect temperature. The steak was incredibly juicy, and the fish was perfectly crispy on the outside while still tender inside. The sweet potato was honestly the best I've ever had, and the bread... WOW! Definitely the best bread I've had anywhere, especially paired with their signature butter. I could've eaten that alone all night! Service was great as well. My only small complaint was the outdoor seating--the lighting wasn't my favorite and the bugs were a little bothersome. But honestly, the food more than made up for it. Everything was delicious, comforting, and so well prepared. We will definitely be back!

Tonight I had reservation at 830 got here 840ish We got sat down at almost 9. We still had to wait , female working reception was not very kind/ welcoming As soon as I sat down at my table I sat in a puddle of water on my seat The floor was dirty and wet and getting muddy as my shoes were being placed in the wet floor It took taking awhile to get service or offered water or anyone to approach us I had to sit on a napkin to help dry myself off. Yes pants down to my boxers were wet. This is a fine dining establishment We ordered pizza Pasta salad and mixto mix A mocktail for daughter Wine glass and a cocktail Salad was amazing mixto was great Total was $200 with tip This is not a cheap restaurant but it felt cheap with the service and cleaningness and experience Total contrast from when I went almost a year ago And reason it takes a some time in between is because distance to get to restaurant and price Not sure if short staffed but on a Saturday night And reservations done usually the service and wait time can be way better and reservation was done with notes requesting patio outside because w have our pet. A table should be prepped and cleaned The table near us was dirty too and there was food scraps left on floor from prior party I do recommend this place for anyone to go it's amazing place and food is amazing and authentic but they really dropped the ball this evening I hate doing this review but I looked and service complaints were brought up previously by other guest and paying for a. Meal this level . Service needs to be immaculate Yes the table and chair issue was brought up to employee but I don't need to name anyone here personally

We enjoyed the food and enjoyed the great service. This is such a great date night or happy event kind of place, yet wish do him to just have a nice dinner with a great vibe, and a fine Italian menu. This place is always worth it. How you stop in is you enjoy Italian food.

Service was amazing, our waiter I believe his name is Lucas, was kind, knowledgeable of the menu (handsome) He did make a small mistake but definitely made it up by taking accountability which was enough for me but the extra plus, he took our salad off my bill and we got a complementary dessert which was the tiramisu (it was delicious) My daughters and I ordered the mozzarella logs, lasagna and chicken basil pasta, a pepperoni pizza and a Cesar salad. Dessert I ordered the chocolate cake. The chicken basil pasta was delicious my absolute favorite of the night. Highly recommend. I personally wasn't a fan of the marinara sauce. I did like the lasagna just wasn't my favorite. mozzarella logs? I mean come on who wouldn't I like them! they were delicious, the cheese was so soft and fresh, battered perfectly. I also really wasn't a fan of the pizza. The dough wasn't that great kinda of hard but my daughter seemed to enjoy it. The Caesar salad was yummy. The bread that's complementary was good, very Rosemary heavy, didn't really like the dipping sauce that came with, but that's just my preference (not sure what it was) tiramisu was delicious light and flavorful, the chocolate cake was rich, sweet, most, and thick. If you're a fan of dark chocolate, you would enjoy this! Overall, had a really good experience and I will definitely be back!

The pastas are delightful and the wine list is great, which honestly is all I need to feel good about a spot.

The ambiance is wonderful and the fact that it's mostly outdoors makes it dog friendly, which is always a bonus for us. The food across the board is just solid and well executed without trying too hard to be anything other than what it is. A really warm, genuinely enjoyable dinner in Long Beach and one we will likely be returning to.

It's classy, the kind of place you'd see in a late-90s/early-00s romcom date scene. The staff was attentive and kind, though we asked for coffee at the end and it never came--we had a show to get to, so unfortunately had to leave without it. We started with the melanzane pizza. It was tasty, but I just realized later it was missing the nduja sausage listed on the menu. For my entrée, I had the paccheri pasta with braised short rib. The beef itself was rich, tender, and full of flavor--reminded me of an Italian birria, which I loved. But the rigatoni tasted undercooked, which was disappointing. My fiancé ordered the tagliata, and wow--she definitely picked the better dish. The steak was perfectly seasoned, cooked to a beautiful medium rare, and paired with a silky potato purée that was absolutely delicious. Overall, it's a romantic spot with some standout flavors, but the small misses kept it from being a perfect experience.

Right from entering the hotel lobby we were met with a beautiful restaurant that made me feel confident I had chosen the right place. The lighting, the table settings, the decor, all culminated in a beautiful restaurant for a wonderful evening. We had the special spinach ravioli which was divine, and the carbonara (was great but slightly salty). The cocktails were absolutely delicious, i highly recommend the old fashioned and the nettuno spritz! The calamari was fantastic, and the bone marrow was okay and awkward to eat. Our waitress was amazing and provided top-notch service that made my friend feel extra special, especially with a complimentary dessert for her birthday! We didn't expect that and felt extra cared for. Will definitely be back for more special nights or just on occasions where I'm craving a high quality meal and experience.

Let's start with the win: the burger was "the best he's had in a long time"--which says a lot. Kudos on the burger! The banana smoothie also got a thumbs-up. Everything else? Meh. The pancake was okay. The scrambled eggs were... weird. Tiny little egg bits that had me wondering, are these real eggs? I asked for crispy bacon; it wasn't, so I couldn't eat it. The breakfast potatoes tasted reheated--no crisp, not much flavor, no joy. And the London Fog? Don't expect Starbucks loveliness. The plain black coffee was better. I also had the grapefruit juice, it was bitter, but tasted fresh squeezed, which I appreciate. Service was good. My server saw that I didn't eat my food and tried to make it better. The venue is nice, but if you're coming for great food--burger aside--we didn't find it here. The velvet chairs are comfortable and beautiful, but the stains and spills were evident. I was worried when I sat down about what was on the chairs getting on my dress. Overall, it's a place we'd only return to if we were craving that burger, everything else was a fail. I left hungry. Last morning here at the Fairmont. Tried breakfast at Nettuno again... disappointed and leaving hungry again. This time we had oatmeal (needed to add water, so dry we stuck the spoon in it and it stood straight up and didn't fall over), fruit (good), boiled eggs (took 20 minutes), and the avocado toast with a fried egg. It was not good. The menu says it comes with kale, but I received mixed greens with it, not kale and the flavor was bad. It's hard to make bad avocado toast, but they did. Disappointing. Plus, service was very slow today. Our order came out incomplete and out of order. The atmosphere is beautiful, but this restaurant has a lot to work on to be worthy of its prices and the Fairmont brand. Second fail.
