This place gives classic Italian vibes - you sit down to eat and make a new friend. This place is a real gem. The staff treat you like family, and you’re sure to see regulars come and go during you trip. The pasta comes out piping hot but you can’t help yourself, you just want to dig in. The desserts are delicious & you won’t want to stop eating and drinking. It’s versatile. You can come dressed up for a nice date or come casual and enjoy talking to the bartender. Either way, the answer is yes, schedule the reservation.

I have been dining at this restaurant for many years, 10+ at least. Service as well as food are as outstanding as it has ever been. Mario can be proud of his endeavor and the training of his team as well as chefs. Highly recommended; but would appreciate having valet parking reinstated. It was very difficult to find a parking space for 6pm reservation.

Went for Mother's Day early dinner. We ate off the Mother's Day limited Menu and it was amazing. The brussels sprouts to start and for me I ordered the Lasagna and it was so good. The waiter was really friendly and his service was spot on. The live music was really good and it was an all around great Mother's day meal. When you go plan on Valet because the parking is not easy.

It was amazing. The staff was awesome from the entrance, not excluding this beautiful historic church across the street. All your staff made my Momma feel like the queen she is on Mother’s Day. Thank you! Great hospitality goes a long way the chandlers the lighting was epic!!! If felt like the staff were a bit of family with each other. Everyone seemed happy to be there!!! Sophisticated, Great Gatsby Chic, with a bit of Madonna with the Italian nostalgic brick building as the gran scenery. A true classic!!! An old soul building with a young outlook!

This was our first visit to La Traviata and what a wonderful surprise. The food was excellent. My husband had the Rack of Lamb, which he said was one of the best he's had. I went for the Braised Short Rib Ravioli and it was wonderful. The Carpaccio and the Calamari appetizers were also very good. Our server, Blake, was knowledgeable and attentive. Our entire meal was great, but the best surprise was dessert. When we asked about the flavors of Gelato it turned out they had Amarena which is my husband's favorite and not easy to find. He had it and said it was perfect. The chocolate, which I had was truly decadent. We will definitely be back.

We were there last evening. This is our favorite date night restaurant. The owner greets you, the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. They have an expansive wine list and are happy to make recommendations. Service starts promptly and the servers are kind, knowledgeable and seem to genuinely care about your experience there. And, of course, the food is exceptional. We have never been disappointed!

La Traviata has been described as a hidden gem. It truly is that. Calamari appetizer was superb. The Sausage fettuccini and Lasagna was prepared and served as well as any other restaurant that we've been to. Our server Hope was attentive but not intrusive and provided great recommendations. Even Mario the owner stopped by the table to inquire as to our wellbeing. We will be back.

We drove to Long Beach to meet our in-laws at this beautiful restaurant in an old classic building downtown. The service was excellent and friendly. There is a good wine list for by the glass or a bottle…we did both! There was a good variety on the menu. The house salad was delicious. I had scampi with fettuccine and my wife who is vegan had a delicious penne with vegetables. The bread was also quite good. Our in-laws also enjoyed there meals(Caesar salads, ravioli, scampi). We all decided that we would be back to meet for dinner at this excellent restaurant. We all highly recommend La Traviata!
