What Long Beach Loves About Us

Years of serving Alamitos Beach means thousands of unforgettable meals, celebrations, anniversaries, and family traditions.

The Mafaldine with Spicy Vodka Sauce was absolutely incredible—perfectly al dente with just the right amount of kick. Combining Southern Italian classics with fresh California ingredients, Ellie's is easily our favorite neighborhood spot in Alamitos Beach.

Harper Martinez

Unbelievable experience! We started with the Wagyu Tartare and the Burrata with Calabrian Chili, both of which were outstanding. The server's wine recommendations were spot-on, highlighting their fantastic curated selection. Cozy, stylish, and welcoming.

We came here for our anniversary and sat on the patio. The atmosphere is wonderful, the fresh oysters were incredibly clean and sweet, and the service made us feel like family. Ellie's captures the true spirit of Long Beach dining.
