From LosAngelesRestaurants.com:
The traditional dishes of Cucina Picarelli make this Long Beach Italian restaurant an exquisite one! Seating inside or out, you will definitely enjoy some of the best Italian food Long Beach has to offer. Dinner selections vary from seafood dishes such as halibut checca, frutti di mare and Picarelli’s great and flavorful tri-tip meat sauce atop rigatoni pasta. Vegetarians are also welcome! link


From TripAdvisor.com:
I have eaten here twice and both times had delicious meals. I had the veal parmigano and stuffed peppers, both excellent. It's a very small restaurant which adds to its charm, but parking can be a little tight. They also have a small wine bar, which is cozy. Good value for the money and a very nice place to go for a romantic evening. -jensenly link


From Yelp.com:
I left this place feeling so round... Cozy italian restaurant with great intimate setting. Sit in the outdoor patio for fresh air and good area for large parties. enjoyed the warmed bread w/ this olive pesto type spread. Definitley go w/ the specials. Had the crab ravioli with tomato cream sauce and it was SO GOOD! A place to definitely have some wine w/ dinner too. for dessert tried both creme brulee and tiramisu. i could never choose btwn the two. they're both delicious. -Stephanie N. link
