8 Best Italian Restaurants near Banning

“On March 7, I was driving from El Centro to LAX on I10 and pulled off in Banning to find some lunch. I saw Russo’s (not a chain fast food) and pulled in. The lunch special was eggplant Parmesan, one of my favorites. The meal came with a salad that was beyond my expectations with cheese and a raspberry dressing that I loved. Before I could finish the salad my eggplant and spaghetti showed and this was also excellent. I had a choice between garlic toast or a roll. Get the roll! Fresh baked and better than many desserts. I will be going to Russo’s every chance I get!“

“We were pleasantly surprised with the food quality here. They are not a generic restaurant in the outlet, they actually have a location in Palm Spring. We ordered the Arugula and Endive Salad with a side of Chicken, also a small Clam Appetizer. Both dishes were fresh and outstanding. We will definitely be back to try their Linguine alla Vongole with handmade pasta.“

“1st time customer. Greeted with kindness and a smile. Staff was hustling, place was full but the servers was kind, courteous and pleasant. Always tipping off my water, ensuring everything was good.

Food was basic and simple but, not in a bad way. Buttery to die for fresh bread sticks, dish included toasted buttered bread that was cut to resemble a heart on my plate of Alfredo.

Didn't think of taking a picture until after I ate it.

In a day and age of below average service as the new normal, this place clearly understands that great food alone is not enough, the service was phenomenal.

I wrote on the receipt how much I appreciated her hard work and excellent service.“

“This isn’t a huge place but when we asked about a party of 15-20 adults, The owner and his wife didn’t hesitate. We had my brother’s funeral up the street and it was convenient.
