50 Best Italian Restaurants near Anaheim Hills

“This little restaurant was a pleasant surprise. The food was fantastic. I had the gnocchi and she had the lobster risotto. Both were superb. The staff was friendly and attentive. We were worried when we turned into a strip mall and saw the restaurant, but once inside the ambience was pleasant. We sat outside and completely forgot we were at a strip mall! Indoors it was what you'd expect for a local family restaurant. The food was much better than you'd expect for a local family restaurant!“

“This was delivery. I got a gluten free pizza and the crust wasn't cauliflower! It was good, but the person who took my order has no idea what it was. They put large chunks of chicken and pepperoni, onions and I got Alfredo sauce. Very good. I keep forgetting to take pictures.“

“Stop by here few days ago, the food is great so is the service. Some people are complaining about the price and I just want to ask them"Don't you live in Ca." Everything is up. Get use to it or don't go out. We normally go to Truffle bistro on Tustin and this is another favorite.“

“Great place for a breakfast or a quick lunch. I tried the Pollo con Pesto lunch sandwich and it was absolutely awesome! The sandwich was prepared with fresh and quality products. I also tried the Super Lemonade and it was great too. The owners are super friendly! Highly Reccomended!“

“Excellent meal and service! Ordered the Parlor salad, Bucatini all Amatriciana, and Guanciale pizza. Salad- great assortment of greens with fresh mozzarella and salami calabrese Bucatini- Pasta was cooked al dente with loads of Guanciale and pomodoro to make the dish extra special Pizza- Love the San Marzano tomatoes and the Fresno Chile/olive combination. Great crust with that char fired crust“

“What an unexpected gem! We've only heard great things about this place so finally decided to try it out and it did not disappoint. While the ambiance is super casual and unassuming, the service, food, and drinks all have an upscale feel. We all loved every bite. We tasted each other's dishes and they were all delicious. My husband got the veal with Ragu sauce--it was rich and savory. I got the black pasta special with a white wine sauce that was tangy and fresh. The kids had pesto penne and fettuccine Alfredo and they both loved it. My sister-in-law had a penne pasta with mushrooms and sausage and it was to die for. We can't wait to return and try more dishes.“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat. Delicious paninis, soups, salads, and my favorite, the lobster roll. Never been disappointed and that is saying a lot. It can be busy and sometimes there is a bit of a wait (my only complaint), but it’s worth it because the food is amazing!“

“Can't say enough great things about Versai Kitchen & Wine Bar! (formerly Fitness Grill) My family has been coming here for 25+ years. We always have amazing service and the food is always absolutely incredible. The owner, Robert, is so kind and welcoming every time. We had such a wonderful experience this evening with our server, Jeff. He was so kind and attentive to our party, and only delivered the best treatment to our table! Thank you to Versai for yet another extraordinary experience!!“

“The food was delicious, friendly, good service, and even deserts and coffee was great. We will be back even if I usually don't come out this way bumped into it doing an errand. What a blessing. Do try won't regret it. Thank you Loved it!“

“Off the bat, I'm giving Tutto's a 10/10 best Italian Food there is!.We came here to celebrate my wife's birthday with a pretty big party of 10, and they got some tables cleaned and ready for us in about 10 minutes. My mother in law brought a cake for desert and the manager offered put it in their refrigerator to keep it cold. I would describe the ordering and receiving food like how Chick-fil-A does it BUT much fancier. The food got brought out quickly, and it was amazing. Such quality Italian food for a great price. If you have wanted some good quality food, and amazing service for a great price here's my #1 choice.“

“My girlfriend and I got here about 15 minutes before our reservation time. We waited about 5 minutes at the front before someone finally greeted us. The girl who greeted us wasn't particularly friendly and said we'd have to wait until our reservation time since we arrived before it. This didn't make a lot of sense as it wasn't crowded at all and most of the tables were open. We just had to hang out by the bar area for another 10 minutes until our reservation time to finally be seated.Luckily our waiter and the food were great. I got the chicken parmesan, which seemed like one of the most healthy chicken parmesan's I've had at a restaurant. The fresh sauce with chunks of tomato in it was the best part.The open atmosphere with everyone in each other's faces isn't something I really liked, and the greeting/seating process was bizarre, but other than that, not bad.“

“I love the chicken tortellini Alfredo, and I tried the calizone for dessert. My coworker had the lamb chop and said it was perfectly portioned. Mine was big enough for lunch and dinner. Great atmosphere and great food. I am sure though that it probably was not good for my diet, but then again good food and Italian food especially never is, but once in a while it is fine I am sure. I would highly recommend this place. It is restaurant quality food in a fast food restaurant.“

“How did I not know about this place working right across the street?? I didn't catch his name but the gentleman who served me was so kind and helpful. I've never order pasta "chipotle style" before so this was different, but quality is definitely not cut short! I ordered a bunch of stuff that I wanted individually but wasn't sure would all taste good together (I got it anyways) (rigatoni, seafood, creamy pesto, spinach, artichokes, parm).. and I'm so glad I did! It was delicious! I wasn't even expecting to finish it on the spot but the creamy pesto was so good, I wish I had more leftover so I could dip the bread in it. I'd definitely check out this spot if you're in the area and in the mood for some quick service pasta :)“

“Went to Casa D’Oro during a lunch date with my son and I should say I’m pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and the overall experience.Prices are very reasonable and food was amazing.Best part was the Tiramisu cake which is splendid and a must try.“

“A fantastic place for dinner. Don't let the location fool you, as soon as you walk it you're reminded of a little Trattoria in Italy. The food was outstanding and the staff was amazing and were very personable. We felt extremely catered too even though we were a large group. It's a must visit next time we're in Anaheim.“

“This place is tucked into a strip mall. Very discrete but man I the food delicious. The service is impeccable.Wheelchair accessibility: My sister in law is in a wheelchair and has no problem getting in or out of the restaurant. It’s a small place however and she doesn’t move around much once inside.“

“Craving lasagna but not keen on a long drive, I turned to local reviews and found my way to Roma D’ Italia. The promise of good food just a short distance away was too tempting to resist.Upon arrival, I was seated promptly—a pleasant surprise that set the tone for a delightful dining experience.Without a doubt, the lasagna. It was a rich, flavorful dish that lived up to my cravings and then some. The layers of pasta, cheese, and sauce. Creating a comforting and satisfying meal.Old Town Tustin has its own unique charm, and Roma D’ Italia fits right in. The restaurant’s vibe is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual diners and those looking for a more intimate setting.Convenient parking options were a bonus, with both on-site and street parking readily available. This made the visit hassle-free and added to the overall positive experience.“

“from OC on a Sunday and there was no delivery available using the Slice app so we ordered while driving using the phone. the pizza was ready when we got there. mama z's is inside the gas station! we enjoyed the supreme 16" pizza. fresh ingredients and flavorful.“

“This one is real authentic Italian and wine selection is top of the Orange county. Wonderful thing is that price of foods and wine is extremely affordable. I have lived in Rome for 3 years and this one reminds me of my wonderful memories in Italy.“

“The pasta here is amazing!! I love the vodka sauce with angel hair pasta noodles. I've also had the pesto and it's full of flavor. The bf always gets the fettuccine already or the tour de Italy dish. Service is always excellent with friendly staff. It's a small seating arrangement in the restaurant but it keeps it more intimate. They also have outdoor seating as an option. Parking is usually pretty easy. I noticed a lot of people do takeout from here which I've tried but it honestly tastes so much better in person.“

“Tried their eggplant parmigiana and chopped salad, with sides of sausage and meatball, on Tuesday, and it was so good, we ordered a deluxe pizza and caprese salad on Saturday! The pizza reminded me of pizza I’ve had in Europe, a pure and authentic pizza!“

“Closest thing to my grandma's in orange. I don't go anywhere else for any Arg food/treats. Service is a hit or miss, we order to-go a lot so we have minimal interaction. One thing though, the to-go menu is not the same as in person. It's a small sitting area inside and a couple more outside. Don't plan to bring a big group here. Regardless, we'll continue to return here because the food great!“

“What else can I say about this place, other than it is a little local itialian food joint with very good food prepared to order with the freshest ingredients, you'll realize this with your first bite. We tried a pepperoni and black olives pizza and got an order of the chicken wings, great pizza good char on the crust, good topping amount, maybe a little less cheese next time, the wings were very good (and I know good wings when I eat them) these were very big, plump and jucy not over cooked, dried out, skinny wings. Will for sure order them again, this is a great place for family or solo dinners, large serving sizes and fair prices, a good value for your hard-earned money and friendly to the budget dollars. ?Tell the owner that Smokey Fred sent you ?“

“Pizza is some of the best. The Tandoori pizza is a must try. Delicious, spicy and unique. Crust is nice and crunchy. The buffalo chicken pizza is perfect for dipping in blue cheese. And my toddler says the cheese is the best pizza they have tried. Wings were good but not the star of the show. Server was very nice and attentive although she was pretty busy when we first got in. I’m not a local and very glad I stopped in to try this pizza!!!!!Parking: Free parkingKid-friendliness: An arcade and seating not at the bar“

“First time tryin as we are BITH ? LOVERS thru and thru!! Service was good and staff friendly and quick and the ? was fresh quality crust was Perfect hot and tasty will definitely be back the GARLIC BITES ARE OFF THE HOOK Perfect amount of seating and soft “

“Sarah is very sweet and welcoming. She’s the reason I keep going. Their food is a hit or miss unfortunately. They have happy hour which is nice. Definitely try their mystery flight, you might find a new favorite wine. ? Wine, dine and bring a book. There’s a seat here for everyone.“

“Very tasty! They don't have their prices on their menu, but we got the asada fries and 2 tacos for $16 total. Very filling and perfect for taco Tuesday! As of November 2023, they are on Maddox and Bartlett in Huntington Beach every Tuesday.“

“Attended dinner with a group. We were seated on the patio. I enjoyed it, because the weather was perfect for it.The drinks and food was served quickly. It was delicious. My food was filling and yummy.Our waiter Gage, along with the other waiter/bus boy were very helpful and made the experience so much more.Parking was great, I had very little trouble finding a parking spot.Overall, the experience was amazing. Also, we got to sing along to Happy birthday, which is always fun.“

“I love this place. It's small and quaint and reminds me of neighborhood European restaurants where the locals go for good food and wine. I have been twice and both times the service was excellent. No attention is spared. From the call on the phone, to the hostess and the server was just amazing. I am the queen of small requests and this place did not disappoint.“

“If you are in Anaheim for Disneyland and craving pizza at your hotel. This place is it! The combo is loaded with toppings and extremely delicious! Unfortunately I live out in Modesto we do not have one of these. But definitely give it a shot, the customer service is super friendly and a great staff! We planning on going back to Disneyland in July. I know where I'm getting my dinner. ??“

“Cortina's Orange is one of my favorite places to visit during my lunch break. They offer an amazing selection of sandwiches and pasta dishes. My favorite dish to get is the penne pasta with pesto and chicken. The pasta is cooked to perfection and the pesto sauce is very flavorful. The staff is very nice and efficient. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating.“

“First time here. Didn’t like it at first called and spoke with Steve I hope i got his name right) the owner. He fixed it and it was amazing. He was the most friendly owner i have ever talked to. He really goes beyond to make your experience the best. Highly recommend getting your pizza here!“

“THIS IS THE BEST PIZZA EVER!! I'm a delivery driver and sometimes I get off work really late, but I'm always really hungry after a shift! This place is a blessing for whenever I crave pizza; not only does it have the late hours, but the quality is AMAZING! You definitely need to try it if you haven't already!!“

“Came in here on a Wednesday evening, it wasn't busy. We were helped right away and the girl helpinng was friendly. Ordered a large pizza and garlic knots, was told it would take about 15 mins.Pizza was super good, reminded me of pizza shack. Garlic knots were amazing. Super garlicly and fluffy. They were a little oily but I didn't mind.“

“I love the pizza here. They have a custom stuffed crust which taste better than the big food chain originator. The price to make your own isn't too bad considering all restaurants and prices have gone up the last year. But whenever you need a stuffed crust the Pizza Guys do it well. I always get my pie delivered so never dined In or anything to see their vibes at the store. Service also can't really say but the products are always tasty.“

“What a great spot. The inside is cozy and comfortable with a great views of the kitchen at work. I sat at the bar and watched the action. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the wine list was decent with an option to please everyone. The food menu had some of the best variety of tapas I'd seen in a while. It was hard to only order five things! You will spend a bit but it's worth every penny to try so many wonderful dishes. I don't eat gluten and I had no trouble finding safe options.“

“I took my best friend to brunch to celebrate her birthday and were both very pleased with the entire experience! Excellent service, beautiful ambiance, best mimosas I've ever had, DELICIOUS food, and the mariachis were the perfect touch. I will definitely be back!!“

“We found a new place to add to our list. Just by accident saw the ad in the booklet that went to our house. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are big, and the price is great for what you get. We surely will be back. We got the Marri special, mozzarella sticks, garlic bread (so good), antipasto salad, Italian sandwich.“

“Excellent excellent excellent!! I was greeted with a warm welcome from the owners and workers! I got a slice of pizza with a side of garlic bread that tasted amazing! Ranch in a cup was 50 cents and was covered on the house! Highly recommend!“

“I decided to pick up an order before going to my doctors appointment. Was able to place the order online and then easily picked it up. Was able to get a plate and cheese. They included naps and a menu which is great. Would definitely recommend this place. The food is tasty. I would definitely come back.“

“The pizza is good quality ingredients, you can tell by just looking at it and by the taste. I always get meat lovers cuz the meatballs taste like someone actually made them instead of being bought. Aidan was super nice and helpful, we will be “

“Indulge your taste buds in a culinary journey at the newest pasta haven in town! From perfectly al dente meatball marinara to the chicken pasta with Pink sauce ?? the fresh bread and everything made this meal perfection. What sets it apart? The personal touch – imagine the owner himself delivering a steaming plate of deliciousness to your doorstep. Dive into a world of flavors; this is not just a meal, it's an experience! RUN, don’t walk!!!“

“The service is always great. Running between appointments, I call my order in from the car. when I get there, my table is waiting with my salad and basket of bread. My fettucine alfredo followed in 5 min. and was delicious! Had delicious meal instead of some cheap fast food and was able to make it to next appointment in plenty if time. Been coming here for 2 decades. Always good.“

“I’ve live half my life in NJ and NY and really miss good New York Pizza. Not many over here in SoCal but Italian Express is just like the real thing. Their thin crust with the tight blend of olive oil and cheeses are the best. Oh and the crust often comes with that special bubble which is my favorite slice.“

“This is my favorite place to go for cookies. The customer service is impeccable and the feeling that the staff give you when you walk through the door is so nice. I have an allergy and they were so helpful in finding cookies that fit my needs when I asked for it. They also had a sign that warned me about it. The cookies are amazing and the food is delicious. 10/10 would recommend.“

“I recently moved to the area with my elderly immigrant mother. This establishment is a walkable distance from our home, so she entered on her own to order food one day when I was at work. The pizza was absolutely outstanding in both price and taste (Nonno's Special, Large) but I also want to highlight the service. My mother said the workers were among the kindest she has ever met. She often encounters frustration and rudeness because she has bad hearing and limited English abilities. I am deeply grateful for the workers at Nonno's who treated her with compassion and patience, as well as recommended a delicious pizza. Needless to say, we will be back. Thank you!“

“Always fresh and hot. Pizza has tons of toppings and their 28" pizza is humongous! Great for parties or just entertainment value, it's as big as our whole stove! Family owned by really nice people. This is definitely a take out spot though, not a dine in restaurant.“

“Delicious pizza and great service!They use Italian dough and let me tell you, you can taste and feel the difference compared to other pizza parlors. I really enjoy the turkey bacon and you can’t go wrong with just plain cheese. Size recommendations, I do 2 jumbos to feed 5-6 people; we tend to have some leftovers for the next day.“

“Delicious neighborhood gem! Tried this for the first time since it is near a friends home. We tried various pastas, the pesto, chicken marsala, veal marsala and the seafood pasta. All were delicious examples of Italian food. We will return.“

“Went here today, my girlfriend and I were very hungry and didn't know where else to go since we're not from around here. We stopped by and saw that they had pizza and tacos, so looked interesting! Their menu consists of pizza, tacos, torpedos, tortas, aguas frescas, pasta, milkshakes, all sorts of things. We settled for pizza and got the "combination" which is another word for supreme. They have different sizes, so we got Large and it was a lot more than I expected, I thought it was X-Large when they brought it over. The lady told me it would be 20 minutes, and it was ready on time, since they make and bake it from scratch and all.Combination has bell peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, pepperoni and Italian sausage. The total came out to $21.85.I like how they take the pizza over to your table, I was not expecting that but Giovanni himself brought it over.Good experience! But the atmosphere was very hot, they have a fan on the ceiling but the restaurant felt like a sauna since they are cooking plenty of pizzas. The workers very nice and friendly and are on it. Definitely recommend to people who are having different cravings for different things!“
