So I was very lazy today and I still had 10,000 steps to go of my 10,000 steps basically this evening. So I decided to walk from Belmont Shore to downtown. I turned around to come back and decided to walk on Broadway, because I haven't walked that road before. I came upon This place and it sounded very familiar. I looked at my to-do list and there it was on my places I need to try. I haven't had dinner yet. Got to eat! So I stopped in. I got the cannelloni and the dessert special. A torta nonna. I'm a vegetarian and finding good vegetarian dishes is difficult. And I normally only eat very little in one sitting. I devoured everything! I'm pretty sure the recommendation came from the Long Beach food scene, and what a recommendation! This is going to be one of my new go-to's when people are in town.All of the servers were so friendly and polite. The place is clean. I've got nothing else to say except thank you to whoever recommended this place.I get to walk the final stretch home with a belly full of deliciousness

Wanted to try this place over Ellie's, both which are nearby me.Cesar salad, burrata, lobster ravioli, carbonara, and a half calzone pizza.Overall it was a good dinner not great. My favorite was the carbonara. The pizza lacked flavor I'd say, the Cesar salad was average/below average for an Italian spot.No bread either which I would've enjoyed. Service was good and the place was busy. Dirty martini was perfect!

Came here with a group of friends and was able to try a few of their pastas! The pasta noodles themselves were great but the sauces I feel like were lacking in some aspect, hence the 3 star. But the service was solid and the place itself was great. Here's the breakdown of what we got:- marione: the seafood itself was good and fresh! but lacked salt so we needed to add more salt for more flavor. - pappardelle e burrata: I really wanted to love this one but the flavor profiles together were just a bit off. The short rib was braised nicely, but I think the mix of the cream and the burrata kind of made the sauce taste a bit like a hamburger helper (not necessarily in a bad way). The pasta itself texture-wise was excellent!- linguine porto rosso: was cooked well but again lacked a bit of flavor even in the pesto. I will say my POV is bias solely on the pastas so probably would try the pizzas themselves since that's what most people rave about in other reviews.

Such a cute place! Gives very homey vibes and the owner was super sweet and welcoming.Pizza was solid def have to order one for the table. We tried the sfigata and it was super yummy. Pasta: I tried 3 and honestly only thought one was worth ordering. Lobster ravioli was ok meh...I got the pappardelle e burrata based on the good Yelp reviews but I did not like it and do not recommend it. It wasn't bad but it was nothing great. Gave me roast beef vibes and wasn't super flavorful. My friend got the bomboni con salsiccia e tartufo and it was bomb lol. Def recommend that one...the pancetta and truffle gave it so much deep flavor. I want to go back just for that pasta!

Went here after having it be recommended by a couple people. Made reservations via phone. Street parking. Pretty empty at 6pm on a Wednesday. Fast service. Food was fresh and flavors were great. Would like to try their pastas. Pizza was thin crust. Got a glass of wine, 2 appetizers, 1 pizza and 1 pasta for $100. Fed two of us and had leftovers of pizza and focaccia. Inside is designed cute with old fashioned cars. Felt chilly in the back room we were in so maybe bring a jacket if you get cold easily.

Absolutely divine! We didn't have a reservation, so we did have to wait. However, they have a standing bar (very convenient) and the time quickly passed us by! Once we sat down, our server was so friendly and knowledgeable. He guided us to the lobster ravioli and my God we almost licked the plate! Fantastic food and wonderful time at La Parolaccia Osteria! :)

Randomly stumbled across the restaurant. When we were in the area. What a gem!! It's a very quaint and cozy restaurant. I've been here a few times and they are very consistent with their dishes and service. My favorite pizza is the Sofia. They load up on the prosciutto and burrata. I'm a truffle lover so my favorite pasta there is the Ravioli Ai Funghi. For the quality and portions, I would expect their dishes to cost more but to my surprise they are actually not overpriced at all.

We were so excited to try this place after seeing the rave reviews. We came around 6pm on a Saturday and waited about 25 mins. Once we were seated we ordered bread ($2), Caesar salad, papardelle e burrata, papardelle alla vaccinara. The crust on the bread was hard and the dipping sauce had no flavor at all. The caesar salad was delicious. Both pasta dishes were good but not great. They needed some seasoning, salt, something other than meat and pasta. If there was some flavor I would definitely give it 4 stars but it lacked flavor for us so that was disappointing.

Located on E. Broadway, is La Parolaccia. We had this a year ago, when we were last in the 213. The problem is, last year this would've been a 5 star review. It just seemed everything was just off. Service was lackadaisical. Server seemed not into it, maybe something on his mind, who knows. The once fluffy, chewy, 00 flour pizza, now was super thin, and super crunchy. Just over done, with no chew. Toppings really lacking. We paid $17 for 4 mozzarella slices fried, $17, come on. The Cacio E Pepe had sausage and just over powered the simplicity of the dish. The homemade bucatini was great. The tiramisu was wonderful again. I ordered a cappuccino with it and received a latte once I was done. The waiter was apologetic and said they just had purchased a new machine and couldn't figure out the frothing. Latte was good and he took it off the tab, but like I said, everything was just off. *Get it all figured out and it'll be right back up to a 5 star, can't have this spending close to $200*
