La Traviata Italian Restaurant

My husband took me here to celebrate my birthday and he chose it because we were going to the Opera after to see La Traviata, so he wanted to make a theme night. The restaurant is small and quaint. They had live music. The decor is very simple, a bit rustic? But had some very pretty chandeliers. You must have reservations and must arrive on time. Our server was very polite and was quick at answering questions and making suggestions. I ordered the Chicken Milanese, and my husband had the Lasagna. Both were very delicious. We did not have any wine although it looked like they had a good selection and we opted for no dessert (good selection as well), as our meals were pretty good size. We both liked it and would go back. This restaurant has been open for 25 yrs.

We sat outside because the restaurant was booked with three parties. The service was excellent, the drinks perfect and appetizers scrumptious. However, the main courses while beautiful were bland and lacking seasoning. I'm hoping it was an off night since everything else was great. The food is the most important and just wasn't tasty even though it look like it would be delicious. 😢

What an elegant restaurant. We came here to celebrate my birthday and from begining to end what spectacular service. Our server Hope, was so professional and personable. The drinks, foods and desserts delicious. I even got to choose a dessert for free and they bring it to you with a candle and sing Happy Birthday. The owner Mario, came to our table and greeted us, he was there too singing Happy Birthday also. It gets better, they have live music which was so nice and relaxing. Highly recommend this Restaurant, we LOVED it and so will you!

Amazing food and great service! Also live music on Saturday night and that made the whole culinary experience ever better! Ordered Brussel sprouts for starters and it was delicious. Had scampi pasta for main and it was best pasta I have ever had so far. Others in our group took risottos and lasagna and those were so delicious too. Kids had spaghetti with butter and loved it. Save room for desserts! We ordered few and they were great and beautiful too! We were welcomed by the owner and he made sure that we and our kids were enjoying our time with them!

staff are professional and adept. The clam chowder was a thinner base instead of the common milk base . The linguine mare had alot of seafood such as clams , muscles, shrimp , and calamari however it was lacking in flavor with pasta that was over done , no salt, and too much broth base . The aesthetics inside are nice however the chandelier in the main dining room is crooked and off its axis plus the ceiling mural appears incomplete.

The descriptions listed on the menu do not match what comes out on the plate. The descriptions make you excited for what s coming. The presentation of the meal makes you double check to make sure l that that is indeed what you ordered. I will equate my meal with a cafeteria style plate. My potato purée turned out to be an ice cream scoop of mashed potato that I m sure was not from scratch. The meal lacked flavor and was definitely over priced for the quality of meal that I received. I will not be returning.

We are familiar with La Traviata and our friends have gone there with us, but this was the last time that we will be there. I was looking forward to my filet mignon and after 45 minutes they brought me a New York Strip covered in gravy and told me that a larger party ordered the filets after me and ran out so they actually served me the steak without even asking me if I wanted it instead of my filet... I have never had an experience like that and even the owner said that it was inexcusable, but they walked away with no other options..... I told them I came for the filet and I would have gone somewhere else if they had told me that they gave my steak away to another table after 45 minutes. Horrible experience, will not go back and telling all our friends who have been there before no more La Traviate.

Very limited menu. The restaurant is considered Italian Cuisine restaurant, but the chef definitely believes that Italian cuisine is all about pasta and nothing else. So most of the menu is pasta. They also have steaks, I ordered filet mignon and that was my huge mistake. When they brought it, it seemed suspicious to me, and as a result I got food poisoning. I will never go there again and I don t recommend it to anyone.

I was invited here for a Christmas party. My cousin was throwing. I love the bar and how much excitement. It brought to the restaurant. We had a private dining area and our own bartender. The meal for the evening was served family style. The entries included meat lasagna, a vegetarian lasagna, spicy pene pasta and a chicken Alfredo. What I really enjoyed the most was the Caesar salad, which was freshly made with anchovies.This classic salad is rarely made like this any more. The serving staff did great and all of our food was delivered in good time.The owner Mario is delightful and I definitely want visit again soon.

They were very attentive and gave us great service. Its a short walk from the Convention Center and a nice quiet atmosphere. Thank you for an amazing dinner!

Wanted to try a new restaurant and chanced on this place. The ambience was nice, food came out pretty quickly, and service was good. However, that s where the niceties end. The food wasn t great, which is unfortunate considering the prices. My entire party ordered various different dishes but none of it was good except for the clam chowder. The lobster mac didn t have enough cheese, mashed potatoes were somewhat cold and unseasoned, lobster ravioli didn t have any garnish and looked quite sad, and the Chilean seabass wasn t flaky but had a mashed like texture. Speaking on the Chilean seabass, the vegetables on the side resembled those you get from a frozen bag. In all honesty, save your time. You re better off going to L opera or Michael s on Naples for better food.

La Traviata Ristorante is located in the downtown area of Long Beach. It sits right next to one of cities historical landmarks... the Willmore Building. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful & romantic. But wait... the food is just as good if not better. We had a pasta dish that was superb. Then later we find out that they make the pasta in house. No wonder. We have enjoyed great bottles of wine off their list. Very tasty. It is a great place to dine at. Our waitress Hope was on point and made sure that we had everything we needed. See you there!

The ambiance of La Traviata is top notch. George, the owner makes one feel as if they are at his home; he s that welcoming. The decor is that of a top-notch Italian Bistro. The Lemon Drop Martini I ordered was absolutely the best one I ve had. We hosted guests that night, and their Salmon dishes were picture perfect, and were described by them as incredibly delicious. My husbands Ravioli were delicious. My dish was a pasta with a Jalepeño cream sauce. Sadly, my dish did not seem to have the same attention to detail that the other dishes did. We had a great visit, listening to the piano player. When George came by, and I gave him my opinion of the dish (he asked), he tried to be accommodating, I chalked it up to an anomaly. I highly recommend eating and having drinks at La Traviata!! (Sorry no pictures, the dishes all had beautiful presentations!)

Hands down one of the worst restaurants I have eaten at. The service was good, I must say, but the food, horrendous! We ordered the brussel sprouts they were undercooked. The salad was just a pile of spinach leaves, no flavor and a spot of goat cheese. First time I have ever had pasta with massive chunks of uncooked tomato, and the cherry on top was a creme brulee that was overcooked! Spare yourself the $100+ bill and find another spot, there plenty of amazing restaurants, this is not one.

I believe I was racially profiled at this establishment. First, I had a reservation for indoor dining and upon my arrival the waitress attempts to sit me on the patio around the corner. Secondly, after stating that wasnt accepted seating we were seated in doors and ignored accept for water and bread. I guess we were given the jail meal. After, getting the attention of the waitress and placing we waited to have staff contnue to ignore our existence and continue to serve everyone around our party. After. Observing what I was sure I was experiencing racial discrimination as we were truly the only party of color in the building and their performance was to serve their regulars and their preferred customer, I decided to exit. Upon, my departure I informed the hostess that I felt that their service was horrible and she didnt bother to inquire about my experience or try to make it right. She stood there dumbfounded. So, I am left to believe I experienced racial discrimination.

Im a chef and pastry chef, so here is my review as honestly and best as I can explain. I had the mushroom pastry for the appetizer and it really wasnt good. I was expecting an delightfully interesting taste, but the flavors did not pair well at all. For my main course I chose the Kale salad. This was also unpleasant. But they took it off of my bill. The owner was welcoming and even sung Happy birthday for my friend. The server we had was nice at first but then closer to the end she said some pretty stereotypical/rood things to a couple of my friends. My rating is mainly because of the food, the brussle sprouts were undercooked even after asking to remake them a second time they were cooked a little more, even the lobster dishes that most of my party had they said was underseasoned and just toleratable to eat. The chocolate mousse cake was absolutely delicious though. Its a nice establishment but the recipes need some adjustments, to be more flavorful and properly executed.

Popped in for Sunday brunch last weekend. I could not have been more pleased with the whole experience. The staff were lovely, professional and knowledgeable from minute 1 to farewell. It was difficult to choose between even the more focused offerings of brunch. But I had a beautiful starter that adorned with delicately poached shrimp in an excellent dressing. The cajun blackened salmon salad for the main was perfectly cooked and well-complimented by the bed salad that was presented with it. The wine list will make you shed a tear if not a few dollars! The service was outstanding. Ive already invited three other couples to dinner for the singular purpose of introducing them to this place. You will not be disappointed!

I am finally getting around to writing a review and more importantly expressing my gratitude to the owners and staff of La Traviata. I was in town a year ago for business and brought along my wife and two young children to make a family vacation out of it. We were looking for good Italian for dinner one night and La Traviata came up on the radar. Concerned about the atmosphere with children, the hostess who answered the phone assured me there would be no problem. Upon entering the restaurant we were shown to our own private table area and promptly waited on. Our appetizers were fantastic and the food even better. They made special accommodations for my kids and the owner even came by and sat down and enjoyed some dinner with us. I cannot express how thankful I am for this experience. We had an exceptional night and we will be back as soon as we can. Thank you!

Came here with a group for dinner. The ravioli I ordered looked really small at first, but they were actually perfectly filling. And tasty, to boot! The owner was so kind, he came and chatted with us for a bit. He asked us if we were feeling dessert and we said no (didnt feel like we could eat entire desserts, or at least thats how I felt since I was pretty full). He went ahead and brought us all a complementary slice of pistachio pie to share! (I felt kind of silly not thinking that we could all just share a dessert.) It was nice to finish dinner with something sweet. All the employees are incredibly kind and considerate. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Sam at the bar can make you an amazing cocktail, just give him an idea and let him run with it. And the food ! Wow

This place and the beautiful people fortune to work there are gems in and of themselves. Go here. Experience wonderful food. But dont leave without delving into the soul of this restaurant. Well worth the trip to Long Beach.

There isnt much more that you can say about La Traviata other than this place is perfection. The service was incredible and the food was even better. The staff are incredibly kind and very accommodating. I could go on and on. This is a must go to for Long Beach.

I didnt care as much for what I ordered, an asparagus Alfredo fettuccine, but my comrades were pleased with their selections (which I cannot recall)

Wow! We hosted a wedding dinner reception for our son last night in their gorgeous event room. Everything, from start to finish, went above and beyond our greatest expectations! Mario was a gracious host and went all out to accommodate us. Our servers were top notch and took care of our every need. And the food - everyone raved about their meals, the Chilean sea bass, rack of lamb, all the pastas - delicious - squisito!!! This was our first time at La Traviata but it wont be our last. I highly recommend you check it out, especially for an event. Mario and staff, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this a night to remember. Gracie mille!

Wonderful coffee and amazing soup. The ambiance is pretty great, and service is top notch. If you just want a good cup of coffee or a light lunch, this is a great choice.

I loved this place, the live piano music, the low key atmosphere and the atmosphere is just appealing. Great happy hour prices and Mario is an awesome host

Old school dining as it should be done. High ceilings, white linen tablecloth, service that attains that elusive balance between attentiveness and privacy, live piano from the bar. Somehow simultaneously elegant and unpretentious. Did I mention the tastiest salmon Ive had in a long while? This is a place to celebrate your special occasions.

Brought my girlfriend on her birthday last year. Super awesome experience. She loved the lamb, I loved the lasagne. Dessert was fantastic! Wonderful birthday memory. Im bringing her again this Friday for her birthday. A new tradition for us!

Delicious food (including fresh, piping hot bread starters) and exceptional service in a classy atmosphere made for a wonderful anniversary dinner. The risotto de mares saffron cream sauce is so flavorful and stuffed full of fresh seafood!
