We could not have had a better time last night. Capones was amazing…AGAIN! Yes, we’ve returned there a number of times for special occasions. Our server, Nicole, was so wonderful, knew all about the menu and its ingredients. She knew the wine list backward and forward and recommended an excellent bottle for dinner. The pasta is always fresh and delicious and one of us had the lasagna, which was incredible. We shared a large salad for the table and gobbled down the fresh, hot, soft bread they kept bringing. Really, could not have been impressed with Capones.

If you haven't been here- it's a must! The moment you walk it, the team treats you like family. The food is Michelin experience with elements of surprises and fine details that make the dishes cohesive and balanced. We tried the prefix dinner menu, the Curator option, and it's out of this world. Every dish is authentic and yet unique. Our waiter, Luca, is kind and genuine. He took the time to go over the dishes and provided references to Tuscany as if we were there. The manager, Antonio, is welcoming and provided a joyful atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely evening! We will be back!

We had a fabulous birthday celebration with great friends. Our waiter, Robert, made the experience more elevated by bringing complimentary Prosecco to the table along with complimentary brussels sprouts. They were delicious and the gesture was unexpected. He checked in on us regularly to make sure we were having a great time! The food was terrific--authentic Italian. Note for birthday celebrations, the restaurant offers a choice of amazing desserts for a complimentary sweet treat. No cupcake or whipped cream with a candle for this restaurant! Very high class. The only difficulty is the lack of parking.

Absolutely excellent experience from start to finish. Newly opened Bacari in Long Beach is beautiful inside but it's the small touches that really make it something. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and actually spoken to with interest. We sat down upstairs where they opened the roof so we could see the stars and the surrounding palm trees. The lighting made the aestetic warm and romantic. The food was delicious, packed with flavor. We loved the tapas-style menu and the wait staff was quick to revise the plates so there were an even number of items for the two of us to share. There is a revolving cocktail menu to try various seasonal options as well as some established favorites. We highly recommend the lamb hummus, the brussel sprouts, the cigars and the schwarma tacos. The mac and cheese was also good.
