    Food was good. Appetizers were very good. I ordered the Cordero Lamb. It came medium rare as ordered, which is usually the hurdle to get over for lamb. However, it was not as tender as I expected. This is why I say it a "good." Server was overly accommodating. Friendly place. Give them a try.

    It was our first time here at Utopia. the food was excellent the chef prepared a special for the day blackened chicken mango salad it was amazing! Just perfect for dinner after a hot day. We also had the tomato Broschetta and Curry,. They accommodated us by splitting our orders in half , which was perfect because they offer half portions. Our sever Glenn was on pint with his service and recommendations. Definitely we will back!!

    We had heard of Utopia before, and we were very pleased. The atmosphere (sidewalk dining) was lovely, and our entrees were delicious. Amir, the owner, came and made sure we were happy with our dining experience, thanked us for coming. We definitely would recommend this restaurant.

    Took a group from work for dinner. At first it was nearly deserted but picked up around 730. The food was ok, wine list was reasonably priced. The waitstaff were terrific. Overall, it was good for a business casual meeting, not too loud and decent food.

    The wine menu was impressive and the food was seasoned to perfection. I enjoyed the intimate setting with the option to dine outside. The restaurant is situated in the heart of downtown long beach, so you can sit outside and people watch while you sip your wine and enjoy a nice Italian dish. The bruschetta was AMAZING and the mushroom appetizer was delicious as well. Again, the wine menu didn't disappoint. I do think they were quite expensive considering the value, but worth a date night nonetheless.

    We enjoyed dinner before opening night at International City theatre and then came back for the after party. The food was excellent (we enjoyed the special LBC Dines menu) and the service very attentive. Thank you for supporting ICT!

    I don't recommend it. I thought the food was very mediocre to say the least.
