L’Opera is one of Downtown Long Beach’s classic Italian dining rooms, serving polished Italian food inside a historic Pine Avenue setting. 🍝✨ The restaurant has been part of Long Beach since 1990, with a more elegant dinner atmosphere, live performances, handmade pasta, seafood, cocktails, and a menu that feels made for a proper night out. We tried beautifully plated seafood, ravioli, shrimp, and a fish entrée, with the kind of presentation that makes the whole meal feel more special without being overdone. Depending on the night, L’Opera also brings in live music and opera performances, adding to the old-school dinner experience that makes the restaurant feel different from a regular Italian spot. 📍 L’Opera · Downtown Long Beach, California Find this hidden gem now on H15DEN.
