First time dining here and the food and service was excellent. From the moment we were received with a kind smile from the hostess, to the knowledgeable server, Alfredo, who gave us great recommendations on our two plates and the delicious dessert. Definitely coming back.

The cheese pizza we ordered for the kids was so good! I didn’t care for the crusted chicken I ordered & the pasta it came with was dry, and I didn’t care for it. Our waiter seemed a little overwhelmed, but I guess he was doing his best. I liked the atmosphere but it was so loud in there. I loved the live opera singer, but it was kind of hard to hear over the loudness. (It was loud from everyone talking)

The place is expensive but the food was just so yummy. We went on a family dinner and everyone enjoyed what they had ordered from Bruschetta, Calamari Fritti, Cappellacci Di Zucca to Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, and so on.

My recent visit to L’Opera was a culinary delight straight from Italy! The flavors were an enchanting dance on my taste buds – a harmonious blend of herbs and rich sauces. The staff’s warm hospitality and their knack for suggesting perfect wine pairings elevated the experience. I’m already daydreaming about my return to relish more of their delectable dishes. For those seeking a taste of Italy, this restaurant is a true gem!

The shrimp and pasta, Brussels sprouts and chocolate fruit bowl with mouser was absolutely delicious! Was going to order seafood from the Big Catch but this was way better! Just the right amount of seasoning and spice!

I was born and raised in Long Beach, and this was my first time here. The food was ok. The service was horrible, and it wasn’t even busy for a Saturday night. We were looking for our server the entire time. The only thing we really liked was the beef Carpaccio. A couple next to us walked out after no one even acknowledged that they were sitting there for 20 minutes.

First time here, and it was fantastic! Our waiter was great and very attentive. The Calamari Fritti was GOOD and the Maria dessert was very tasty (warm & chocolatety 🙂 The Minestrone and Spaghetti Ai Frutti Di Mare was very filling.
