I think Ammatoli’s success might have gone to its head. The food is wonderful and the service and decor are lovely. But gosh dang the prices are ridiculous and they nickel and dime the hell out of you! No refills on a $5 iced tea, if you want pita - not extra pita, ANY pita at all - with your hummus it’s an additional $5, and they charged me $1.25 for extra spicy garlic sauce. All of that is just too much. Pita NEEDS to come with hummus and I’m pretty sure the $28 for my chicken dish is enough to cover an extra two tablespoons of sauce. All of this didn’t leave me with a good feeling. I don’t think I’ll be back.

The food was delicious. The service did not match the excellence level of the food. I arrived 5 minutes before my reservation and there was no one at the door to receive me. I caught the hostess as she walk-in and she asked me curtly to wait in the sitting area. She did not give me a drinks menu while I was waiting, I had to ask another waiter for it. When we were seated our waiter arrived and said, "Sorry I'm late, I was busy at the chef's table". I guess serving the non-chef's tables is not as important? Just wish the quality of service was up to par with the quality of the food.

Delmonte beets have way more flavor than Ammtoli's version--extra side of dressing had NO flavor (how do you even do that with olive oil?). Pita bread reminds me of pizza dough. Each of 3 lamb chops was cooked to a different temperature, but the meat was decent; accompanying rice, with shriveled peas and other bits, had an unpleasant blend of seasonings (go back to the original pilaf version, please); the Jerusalem bagel was ok: warm and fresh, but lacked a touch of saltiness and sweetness. Wines by the glass range from an awful chardonnay to a mediocre pinot grigio in my preferred, white category. Although consistency has never been a strong point, at least two years ago the food tasted good. And given the demanding reservation process, was put off by the fact that my special request, for a banquette or window table, was ignored, although both were available when we arrived. BTW, neither Ali Ghzawi nor Amar Santana, spotted across the dining room, looked thrilled while we were there.

My two friends were visiting from out of town and I wanted them to experience the best Mediterranean food in Long Beach. We arrived for the tail end of happy hour and ordered the three way mezza platter with batta harra, muttabal and beet hummus. We also ordered their freshly baked pita bread and the Mediterranean fries. For entrees we split the arayes, jibne manoush with sausage and the sayadiyeh. All outstanding! Our server was Pete and he gave excellent food and wine recommendations. Overall an amazing meal and a must try restaurant when in Long Beach.

Booking a table was useless. We had a booking for 8:30pm, they didn’t seat us till 9pm. We finally ordered and 20 mins later they said that one of the dishes is not available and put us on the spot to order something else as somehow it was our mistake we were seated late and were ordering late. We only ended up ordering one main course as we couldn’t manage the undue pressure being asserted on us. Then we clearly saw the waitress was preferring the tables next to us as they had ordered wine and clearly were going to have a higher bill and a higher tip for her. From a restaurant of such stature I was very disappointed by the waitresses’s behavior and the inconvenience we had to get because they seated us 30 mins late, ran out of food and were forcing us unprofessionally to order ASAP as the kitchen was closing. Additionally it was pretty clear that parties ordering alchohol and bigger parties were incentivizing the waitress more. I have been a waiter and I understand challenges of unexpected delays that can happen but unprofessional and discriminatory behavior is just not acceptable. I am a fan of their food, have always gotten great service in the past and have always recommended this place but my experience on Friday 5/19 has scarred me. I hope the management looks into this and avoids such experiences from happening again. It would be sad that such unprofessional and discriminatory service would give a bad experience
AMMATOLI mediterranean bitesResponded on May 21, 2023Hi Bilal, we apologize that you didn’t experience the best of our hospitality, and we terribly apologize that this happened! You are absolutely right, this is completely unacceptable! Chef Dima would never allow this to happen as she loves every single guest! She would love to have you back here and give us another try to rectify this situation and experience who we truly are! We live up to our reputation and strive to give our beloved customers the best experience possible!

From a Syrian person, the food was not that good! I am a foodie that goes on tries many restaurants. This one here is over rated due to the Ambiance.. it looks pretty nice. But the food taste is mediocre. I come from where this food is made. Beat salad: is just boiled peeled beets… Flafel: 5/10 compared to real stuff Shwarma wrap: was okay but the sandwich was barely stuffed with any chicken and the oily was dripping everywhere. We asked for some Pomegranate molasses ( table spoon) to be added to the sandwich or on the side.. they refused to do that.. The only good thing I tried there Jibne Manoosh with Sujok. That was 8/10. Service was pretty good. Ambiance was beautiful. Not cheap.. I wont go back sadly!

Waitress was pretty pushy in the beginning. Felt like she was trying to get us to run up our tab. Wish she told us dessert + ice cream are separate charges ahead of us ordering. Frequently gave us the impression that things we were ordering wasn’t extra. Then when we got our food, she didn’t show up to see how things were going.

AMMATOLI made our Mother's Day truly special. The food was exceptional, featuring Mediterranean-inspired dishes bursting with flavor. The grilled salmon with citrus glaze was tender and paired perfectly with grilled vegetables. The slow-roasted lamb shank melted in our mouths, accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes. Our server, Lily, provided impeccable service. Her knowledge of the menu and genuine enthusiasm enhanced our dining experience. She surprised my mother with a beautifully presented dessert and heartfelt wishes. AMMATOLI is highly recommended for any occasion, creating lasting memories with loved ones.

Wish I had a better experience had good reviews about this place , sat at our table an clearly waited for over 20 min before someone even came to check on us and that was only because my wife had to ask the host if anyone was gonna come check on us. Waitress only came once or twice to check on us and food was just ok, doubtfully will go back or recommend this place to anyone
