"When you walk into La Parolaccia Osteria, you might feel the urge to say things like “ciao bella” and take pictures in front of some Roman pottery. That’s because this restaurant looks like a villa in Tuscany where servers greet their regular customers with consensual cheek kisses. Most people come here to feast with groups of friends, but there are also a couple of candlelit two-top tables that work well for a lively date night. Beyond its charm, you should visit La Parolaccia Osteria for the wood-fired pizzas and well-priced handmade pastas that deliver big flavor. Our favorite dish is their velvety tortellini alla panna, which arrives with a thick dusting of freshly shaved parmesan and tender-chewy al dente noodles." - garrett snyder
"It’s all about Roman classics at La Parolaccia in Long Beach. While the pizzas and starters are done right, it’s the mother pastas like amatriciana, carbonara, and cacio e pepe that deserve diners’ full attention. Bring a large group and share them all." - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
"Born in Italy, Stefano Procaccini opened La Parolaccia in 2004 and brings a taste of Rome to Bluff Heights. He’s been serving pizzas and plates of amatriciana, carbonara, and cacio e pepe for nearly two decades, along with focaccia sandwiches stuffed with mortadella and burrata." - Mona Holmes, Brian Addison
"For those craving a true to Italy experience in Long Beach, there is La Parolaccia. Aside from the traditional margherita, the Sofia, topped with burrata and prosciutto, is the one to get when wishing for a delicious taste of Italy."
