Papalucci's Italian Ristorante

Description

Situated in the heart of Belmont Shore, Papalucci's brings the taste of Naples to Long Beach since 1990. Owner, Dan Tarrantine, calls it "home cooking made simple" attributing many of his made-from-scratch recipes to his Grandmother. The checkered table clothes and open kitchen enhance the casual dining experience, giving the feeling of being at home and eating with family. Regulars line up for the famous Pepe Salad and Garlic Balls or Grandma Tony's Special Pizza. Everything is cooked, fresh to order and the reasonably priced menu includes an array of pasta and chicken dishes, including Chicken Cacciatore, Parmesan and Piccata, Carbonara, Lasagna, Ravioli and Baked Ziti; all with Grandma's special Marinara. In addition Papaluci's provides a excellent wine and beer selection to accompany the food.
