Bar Becky - Long Beach (CA)

5 /5 Catalina Gutierrez: Food was delicious! Focaccia with anchovy dip was my fave although the carrots were a close second! We were walk ins and it almost seemed like they wouldn’t be able to seat us so probably best to make a res on the weekend. Other than that the service was on point and the open kitchen was nice to see the masters at work with such a confident demeanor! Highly recommend!

5 /5 Sarah Hatfield: If you haven’t tried Bar Becky yet, you really have to! Their food, service, and cocktails are, in my opinion, Michelin level! We tried the pepperoni Brussels sprouts, and chef Benvenuti‘s mom’s famous carrots for our appetizers. For our entrees, we had the gnocchi and the duck which were insane! Everything tasted incredible; Such deep and complex flavors. If you’re a foodie, definitely make this your new spot. We finished dinner off with chai donuts that were like mini churro donuts. So good

5 /5 Howard Kummerman: The chef owner, who is an alumni from Cypress College, created an incredible experience at this restaurant. Everything is exceptional from the moment you walk in the door. The service is amazing and the food is beyond spectacular.

5 /5 Paul N: My girlfriend and I celebrated her moms birthday here and left completely satisfied, thanks to the delicious food, generous service, and lovely ambiance. We notified the restaurant in advance about the birthday celebration and our interest in the tasting menu. Upon arrival, the chefs and staff were immediately attentive to our needs—whether it was refilling water or replacing utensils. Chef Jonathan impressed us with his exceptional tasting menu, while Chef Nathan stood out for his skillful grilling, including a flavorful duck breast that was a highlight of the evening. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and we can’t wait to return to explore their regular menu!

5 /5 KG: We dined here last night for Dine LA and had a fantastic experience. It was our first time visiting this restaurant, and it did not disappoint. My boyfriend and I both ordered from the Dine LA Three-Course Prix-Fixe Menu, while our friends ordered from the regular menu. Here’s what we tried: • Crispy Eggplant – Lightly fried yet packed with flavor. The raisin-caper butter, pine nuts, and pickled peppers added a great balance. I really enjoyed this appetizer. • Mediterranean Octopus – One of the best octopus dishes I’ve ever had! Perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. • Endive & Chicory Salad – The light dressing complemented the greens beautifully. • Beets & Goat Cheese – A perfect balance of flavors—light, refreshing, and delicious. • Wagyu Short Rib – Rich, tender, and full of flavor. An excellent choice. • Aleppo Pepper Cavatelli – Slightly spicy, though mild for those accustomed to heat. As a spice lover, I didn’t find it remotely spicy, but it was still delicious. • Alfredo Shrimp w/ Garlic Breadcrumbs – Light and satisfying. All their pasta dishes are served in a tapas-style portion, so you won’t leave feeling overly full. • Vodka Pasta – A simple yet flavorful dish that really delivers. • Olive Oil Cake – Unfortunately, this was dry and not to my taste. I prefer a more moist cake. • Chocolate Budino – Absolutely delicious! This was a favorite. A note on portions: This is not your typical Italian restaurant with large servings. I personally love this approach since I don’t eat pasta often and prefer not to feel overwhelmed by heavy portions. We’ll definitely be back to try more dishes. Overall, a satisfying experience, and I highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!
