Reviews
The pizza was incredible and the desserts were stand-out. One of the best tiramisus I’ve ever had and both the vanilla and pistachio gelatos were divine!
Service was excellent and took great care of us.
The food was okay. We were trying to find a place that reminded us of Italy. We’ve kept an open mind tho. The one thing that got us to come here was that their menu has some truffle options. In Italy, we tried this restaurant that was known for truffle and everything there was so good. The pizzas here cost between $25 and $30, but the truffle pizza was $65. The seasoned fries are $10 and the truffle fries are $25. The truffle on the truffle fries looked fried and minced… it was not worth the extra $10 nor the double price of the pizza in my option. I also think the pizza needs to be more crispy on the bottom. Again, we are comparing to half a dozen pizza places we’ve tried in Italy in various cities. The drinks we got were stiff but the blending of the flavors need work.
What we ordered:
– Zucchini Flowers $22
– Arancini $20
– Spaghetti Cacio & Pepe $28
– Tagliatelle Pesto $27
– Truffle Porcini Pizza $65
– Truffle Fries $25
The Service:
The service was good. Our server checked in on us a good amount of times.
The Atmosphere:
The restaurant has a nice ambience. We went for an early dinner so it wasn’t too crowded. But I would imagine on a Saturday night, it would be more lively. They do have areas for a larger group.
Overall:
It was a decent place to go to. Based on what we ordered, we probably wouldn’t go back for the food. I would not recommend the truffle options. They have a decent wine list if you’re into that.
Parking:
There’s public paid parking behind the restaurant. There is also a public paid parking on the street. It’s free after 7 PM I believe. And then you could park near the neighborhood for free. I would read those signs though to make sure.
Total Cost: $266.30 +tip

Glad because I heard it was diluted. Overall the service was good and the pizza was good – glad we tried it ! I think it’s definitely worth a try! Heads up it’s a little on the pricier side though – oh yeah we Ended dinner with an affogato – that was really good
We got the Margarita pizza (good flavor but they ignored our request of making it well done and this one came out very soggy) , chicken entree (v good) , spicy margarita (Smokey and v well made) and bread pudding (very good !)
Overall , we had a good meal and had it not been for a soggy wet pizza base , I would have definitely given this 5 stars .
I don’t remember the servers in the LA branch being rude, so I was quite surprised to encounter a server here who was rude and quite condescending. I don’t recall her name, but she was a young female with a heavy Italian accent and had her hair in a ponytail (if that is identifiable). I understand cultural differences in personality, but for someone working in the food industry, and for a restaurant as highly reviewed as L’Antica, she does not deserve to be working in your branch.
She was rude — when you would ask about the menu, she would try to “downsize?” your orders and mention maybe not get that because it is quite filling and there is more food coming. We all ordered drinks as well, but she seemed frustrated when taking drink orders. It was surprising to see such behavior from a server whose job is to take orders and provide good service. She was not very friendly and you can tell at first glance she isn’t. At first, I paid it no mind, but when we asked for extras, I noticed her rolling her eyes, giving exasperated sighs, and generally being judgmental. I was looking around and checking if the other servers had that same attitude, but it seemed it was only her as the others seemed friendlier.
I do like L’Antica — it’s great — but she definitely soured the experience. I thought the kitchen staff who take the plates were attentive and friendly, though. I hope you will keep in mind the people you hire and decide to keep, as you run a respectable restaurant. I do enjoy L’Antica in Long Beach, but unfortunately, your one server soured the experience. I had guests from abroad and wanted to show them your restaurant. While the food was great, the server left a negative impression to them whenever we bring up L’Antica, and it’s what they would remember most.
