“Bar Becky, which quietly opened in 2024 at Long Beach Exchange (LBX) after a series of pop-ups, is an Italian American kitchen by Chef Johnathan Benvenuti, a Southern California native and Hell’s Kitchen Finalist from last season, and partner Jason Scarborough, a Michelin-star restaurant industry veteran and sommelier.” 

“Bar Becky is Chef Johnathan Benvenuti's tribute to his mother, Becky. Open for dinner every day, the scratch kitchen features focaccia, house made pastas, and a constantly evolving collection of comforting classics and chef-driven creations. They strive to feature the freshest produce from local farmers and artisan producers.”

New at Bar Becky's is Brunch Service and a Weekend Chef's Counter Menu (a creative and seasonal prix fixe menu offered at the counter every Friday and Saturday.)

Bar Becky is part of Dine L.A. Restaurant Week through Friday, February 7th.

“Bar Becky is located at LBX (Long Beach Exchange) at 3860 Worsham Ave., Long Beach, CA 90808. The restaurant is open Monday through Thursday from 5 to 8:30 p.m.; Friday from 5 to 9:30 p.m.; Saturday from 11a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5 to 9:30 p.m.; and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 4 to 7:30 p.m. For reservations, please visit www.barbecky.com or call (562) 421-0200.”
