7 Best Italian Restaurants in Big Bear Lake

“Our waitress Savannah, and chefs Bebe and Nate (I hope that's his name) were not only phenomenal in service, but amazing chefs. My fiance and I absolutely LOVED the chicken picata, lasagna, the parpadelle Bolognese. Honestly down to the cocktail waitress Lacy during our wait for the table being so friendly and spot on with her choices in pre meal drinks. ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING about this place is amazing! My a fiance and I came here twice on our trip to big bear and plan to make this place a regular stop!“

“If you’re looking to get married, or a venue for a large gathering I would recommend Santana Mavericks 1000%!! We just had our wedding here on the 19th. Susana, and her team outdid themselves. They took care of all of the decor, set up, food, and clean up. They completely exceeded our expectations, and made the day incredibly special for us. The views are incredible, and the atmosphere was so romantic. We had the most amazing wedding day, and I can’t thank Santana Mavericks and the staff enough. The food was incredible, and all of our friends and family had the best time.“

“This was a good thin crust pizza. We had the vegetarian pizza and it was pretty loaded. The pizza was fresh and didn't feel very heavy to eat.
It was a decent crowd for a Saturday afternoon so we had to wait for about 15 - 20 mins for pur pizza to arrive once we placed the order.“
