We ate their the last night of our vacation, before we flew out of Long Beach Airport. The food was very good, ample portions and the service was excellent. Sat outside. We got their early but I think reservations would be a good idea. We also got to meet the owner, Joe. Give it a try! more

Went there for the first time tonight. It was really good. Could be great for an intimate evening with friends or for a romantic evening with someone special. Or, with your teenage son...like me :) more

Went to Cucina Picarelli recently, had a great experience there, the food was excellent and the wine pairings were up to par...and the atmosphere is like a local eatery you would find in Italy-perfect for a first date. We started out with the Caprese and the Mint Shrimp- light and fresh. I had the Veal Picatta (my litmust test for... more

Good Italian food. Good wine. Cozey inside and covered porch outside. Very small parking lot, friendly owner (he also hangs out just about every morning at the local Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and chats with everyone there, too!). more

Very Good

This place puts CPK and Olive Garden to shame. Nothing beats their pizza and penne arrabiata. more

I've taken my Italian grandmother to many Italian restaurants, but will no longer search for another. She has found her favorite. Cucina Picarelli has not let her down time and again. From the olive tapanad before dinner to the tiramisu after, we have never had a bad meal there. The price is right and the food is always top notch.... more

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... more

On Christmas Eve, my mother, sister and I decided to dine out. We'd seen this cute little place since it opened in June 2004 and gave it a whirl. Overall, it was very good. I had Penne Arrabiata ("angry penne"), a spicy tomato sauce with calamari. It was delicious. My sister had the fettucine Alfredo with artichokes and broccoli, and... more
