Lovely experience. My wife and I made reservations and sat at the bar. I ordered the ny strip tagliata, an escarole Caesar, and a dirty martini. Definitely one of my new favorite restaurants, and, as much as I'd like to try the rest of the menu- I'm afraid I might HAVE to get the exact same things again because it was that good.

We drove an hour to try this place and it was SO worth it. We ordered a ton of food and everything came out in a timely manner. Staff was super friendly, especially our waitress Marie! Everything was incredible but the pizza and gnocchi stood out to me the most. It was some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had! I’ve been to Italy twice and this pizza was by far better than the pizza I had there. You must eat here!!

My favorite pizza and Italian restaurant in Long Beach! Their ingredients are always fresh, and the chef consistently prepares everything to perfection. The octopus is so crispy, my favorite. The brick oven personal pizzas are out of this world—so tasty and perfectly crisp! I also love that it's a family-run business that retains most of its employees—such a warm and welcoming place!

Wonderful restaurant! Our waitress at the bar was so lovely, taught us about the restaurant name meaning “fireplace cave” in Italian, and showed us through the menu and even helped us order an off-menu favorite the cacio e pepe, which was very tasty and the perfect amount of al dente. We had a terrific classic Margarita pizza! You have to order a pizza if you come here its all about the wood fire oven! Love it!

1st time visiting and it didn't disappoint! My apologies for not taking pictures of the cocktails but they were amazing and the bartender I still have to go back and try their brick oven pizza as I saw it being freshly made to order and looked amazing. We just have a few apps and they were amazing check the pics! Overall 5 stars from the staff to food/drinks

The service was excellent, the food was fresh & satisfying. This was my first time going and really enjoyed the food. I didn't try the meatballs because it had nuts in them, but the gnocchi was divine and drinks were smooth.
