Christy's Restaurant, Long Beach, California, Italian Restaurant Details

Food:

A bright and airy remodel (including a larger bar) suits the creative menu of small plates, Italian seondi, and interesting Continental entrees. Last trip in was March 2013; we sat at the bar in the early evening and feasted on 5 small plates. I drank Happy Hour wine, and my bride ordered from the wine list. Both were excellent (OK, the white wine was too cold, but that was a temporary problem). The service was friendly, informative and attentive despite a good crowd. Three of the 5 small plates we tried were outstanding (favs were the tuna tower special and Arancini); two were "excellent minus" on account of too much salt. Overall, an excellent dining experience that I would highly recommend to my friends. Thanks to Christy for coming back in style.

Not only was the food tasty we were able to keep the calories under control.
