50 Best Italian Restaurants near Brea

“First time visiting and food was amazing and our server Damian was fantastic! We will be back!!“

“The aroma is so heavily delicious you smell it as soon as you get out of your car. Great wine selection and the bread so soft and warm. The egg plant Parmesan was to die for. Can’t wait to return. The place was crowded, but worth the wait. Servers and cooks all working quickly to get the food out while it was hot. Happy atmosphere and very clean“

“Great food and service and prices“

“I'm not the biggest fan of Olive Garden, but this time I went with my family and we were a party of 8. We all had the lunch special and a lot of soup. If anything, that's what makes Olive Garden great. Anyways, two managers came by to ask how we were, and one of them congratulated me for graduating. It made us all laugh. I graduated years ago. I was just wearing a Harry Potter robe LOL! But it was a funny time that day receiving so many congratulations.

Anyhow, I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo. Not anything wowing but definitely not Spaghetti Factory bad. It was good.“

“Had a rehearsal dinner for our sons wedding here. The food was great and service was awesome. This was the first time for Angie and O to eat at a Buck di Beppo and glad we had such a great experience.“

“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️“

“They had a nice selection of food to choose from. We came on a busy Saturday, and the lines were pretty short. We got a 2 slice combo with the meat lovers, pepperoni, and a pink lemonade. The meat lovers had pepperoni, ham, ground beef, and bacon. It tasted alright. The pepperoni pizza on the other hand, tasted pretty good though. It is a good place to go to easily satisfy your hunger and cravings.“

“My second time visiting this great establishment. Once again, the pizza and all that they serve is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! I had some caprese , burata, Fior Di Latte and the Vespa Pizza along with a Limonata Rosa. Our Service Yadira was amazing and very attentive. She was very helpful with any questions we had. Thank you Yadira and all the staff at Fuoco. Definitely my favorite Pizza!!! See you soon!“

“Great food and a wonderful experience.“

“My husband and I came to Disneyland for our anniversary. We were looking for a place near our hotel and this did not disappoint. The atmosphere was fabulous and serving staff was great. Our food was AMAZING and we had soo much. We brought food back to the hotel and they gave us plates to take with us. Definitely one of our new favorites and will be coming back when we visit“

“This is genuinely the best Italian restaurant me and my wife have ever been to and probably the best meal we have ever had. The calamari is the best we have ever had and the side salads were amazing with the house vineagrette. The fettuccine with lobster and the chicken parmigiana were absolutely amazing. We finished with a canoli and it was the best we have ever had. The atmosphere was really nice and the service was top notch. Our waitress would refill drinks within seconds of them being even close to empty and empty dishes were picked up almost immediately. For all of this you would expect a hefty price tag but all of that food was under $85. We will 100% be going back!“

“We ordered the Salmon Pesto dinner along with the Chicken Parmigiana and both dishes were excellent. The presentation felt elegant and everything tasted wonderful. Considering the quality the price was very reasonable and we left completely pleased with the experience.“

“Really good food and great staff!“

“When we went to eat on Friday night there was an amazing server named skyler(Skylar) and she was the best server we have ever received. My fiance was eating soup and when he was finished she noticed that he didn't eat part of the soup and specifically asked if he would like it without. The attention to detail and customer service was above and beyond to where we will be going back just for the customer service that was provided. I hope she sees this review because she was amazing. :) Thank you.“

Been coming here for 2 decades. Always good.“

“You know sometimes the stars just align. It's my birthday and Olive garden is running a free delivery promotion. I also just so happen to have a $25 gift card so I ordered myself a little something something for dinner. In my notes I asked if I could have some extra breadsticks because it was my birthday. (Because obviously we know that two breadsticks is never going to cut it.) In addition to giving me four breadsticks, they also wrote happy birthday and drew on my bag! Sometimes it's a little things in life that really mean the most. Thank you Olive Garden for making my birthday dinner awesome.“

The dessert was scrumptious! Sarah, our waitress, checked in to make sure everything was perfect. Especially the request for extra, extra cheese lol. Thank you Sarah and Olive Garden for a beautiful and delicious evening!“

“We were here for the X-JAMM Elements of Sound event during NAMM 2019. I bought our tickets because of Devin Townsend, but we were both excited to see Larry Mitchell, OHM (guitar god Chris Poland) and Larry Mitchell perform live, as well. I had no idea what to expect from the venue itself; I bought tickets two days before the show and was super disappointed by our placement. We were in the front row, but sitting at stage right. I thought for sure I'd miss a lot because I am so vertically challenged. Turns out I had no reason to despair. Our seats were practically on stage. They set up a small row of seats where the pit would live (in another, non-seated venue). We had up-close views of all performers, and the audio was expertly mixed to allow us to experience the music in all its glory. We were shown to our seats right when we checked in, and instantly had one of the friendliest waitresses at our side, asking for our drink and/or food orders. We both asked for a Guinness and told her we might order food later (it's not food from the restaurant next door if you're curious; they only serve stadium-type items). She came back empty-handed, apologizing profusely that the bar was out of Guinness. We changed our orders, and let her know it was totally fine, but she was so sweet and I could tell she felt bad. She made it a point to check on us throughout the night (we did end up sharing an order of $8 nachos to go with our $8 beers; at least she hooked us up on the cheese sauce), making sure not to bother us while a performance was actually happening. Now that I know that this place exists, I'll keep an eye on their events calendar. I liked how easy it was to get there, and how friendly the staff was. I just know to plan to eat dinner ahead of time, to save money.“
