50 Best Italian Restaurants near Brea

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

“Great food and service and prices“

“This restaurant is located in a shopping plaza at the corner of Birch Street and Kraemer Blvd in Brea. Parking was easy on a Monday evening. We did not need reservations and were seated promptly on arrival as it was pretty empty. The service was overall good. Our waiter checked in on us multiple times and was attentive. The complimentary bread and garlic butter was great, but the rest of the food was fine, honestly nothing special. Our pastas were on the oilier side and salty, but the portion sizes are huge.“

“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.“

“Brought my family to grab lunch and escape the heat and had a fantastic time! Service was excellent as always and our server Kayla was so friendly and attentive. She made sure to check in with us every time she walked by and made sure we always had drink, soup and salad refills. The manager also came by to check in with us once he heard we had an allergy at the table. He came to make sure he understood the allergy and reassured us of how they would handle the food and prevent and cross contamination. He even came out with Kayla to deliver the food and make sure we knew that it had been specially prepared.

It is experiences like this that make us sure to return!“

“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.“

“I had forgotten why I haven't been here for a while. The problem a lot of people have is it is so dark and dingy inside. So annoying having to get phones out to read the menu. The fairy lights are cute and romantic but can you not put a candle or lamps on the tables so we can see what we're ordering and what we're eating please. I had the pasta less chicken dish which I've had before. The chicken was very dry this time and the meal could do with extra sauce on it. It's a shame because this place is good and the staff are okay. Our group of 8 Will come back again when the electric bill has been paid .“

“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“

“Absolutely love the food but it is the people that make this an exceptional fabulous dining experience!“

What an amazing experience at Tutto Fresco! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and truly felt like a little slice of Italy.

“Most comprehensive selection of reasonably priced imported cheeses. The service at the deli counter in the market has been amazing both times I've shopped in the market. Yes, I drive 15 miles for their selection when making fine Italian food 🇮🇹“

“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.“

“Corey was AMAZING! He was right, the cheesecake was a must!“

“love the food and service is great“

“Truly a hidden gem. Several levels of dining space combined with the big fireplace gives the restaurant a unique ambiance. The food was superb, incredible pasta. There was a live pianist playing that made the evening even more memorable. As it often happens with places like this, service was impeccable.“

“It’s just a fun place to meet friends and have a good meal.“

“I haven’t been to Olive Garden in a long time because my past experiences honestly weren’t the best, but Kevin completely changed that! He was super friendly, attentive, and really helpful when answering my questions about the menu. Everything came out fast, and he made the whole experience feel welcoming and enjoyable. The food was just as good as I remembered too. Huge thanks to Kevin for making it such a great night! Will be coming back for those delicious breadsticks!“

“Food A- Service B+ Value/Pricing B Atmosphere C+ large screen TVs and Oldies music?! This is not a Sports bar.Too much background noise.?“

“Friendly staff, clean space and amazing food.“

“Small little restaurant but super cute vibe inside. The staff is great. Food is so good! Our favorite is the Avocado Salad & Bambino Pasta. They also have an appetizer that's so good but can't remember the name. It's a shrimp wrapped in bacon with I believe the same sauce as the bambino pasta. Will definitely continue going.“

“My first visit to an Olive Garden and I loved it!! This location was great, lots of parking, friendly staff, and delicious food. Brandy helped us select our food and we loved our dishes. I loved the cheese ravioli!! They also offer curb side pick up. 10/10 would come back. Thank you Brandy!“

“I ordered here for the first time yesterday. I’ve always picked up orders to deliver for customers and the food always smelled good. I finally gave it a try and I must say I’ll definitely be back lol.“

“Best pizza in town! Excellent service and the place is really well run. Very reasonable prices too. Keep it up guys.“

“I had the Pasta Pomodora and it was outstanding.!Their BBQ Chicken Pizza great as well as their Taste of Italy! We will be returning!“

“I like the lunch special. The price is very reasonable. The food is good and so is the service. They give you a good portion too. it's a small, but cozy place. This was my first time there. It's fairly close to my house. The guy that served me was Chris and he was very nice and friendly. I will recommend this place to my family and friends. I look forward to coming back and trying other dishes.“

“Where the Conca’d Oro tradition continues with all the same recipes from their recently closed location in Orange.. Frank and the girls exceeded our expectations tonight with the antipasto salad, garlic bread 🥖 lasagna and topped off with tiramisu 🌰🍷🍷😎✔️😍“

“Olive garden never disappoints! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality. Our server was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The unlimited breadsticks are always a win and the food was hot and full of flavor. Berry sangria is so delicious! I got a pitcher of it and even my mom who doesnt drink alcohol at all ended up enjoying a glass after having a taste. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a casual dinner or a night out with family. Great food, great service and great value. We'll definitely be back!“

“Beautiful ambiance Good Food and Good Drinks The GM Alex was very friendly and hospitable Thank You Alex We will be back!“

“love the food and service is great“

“Amazing place for a delicious, fresh and healthy lunch.
Their food tastes great and their prices is amazingly affordable during their lunch specials. They have a different plate for every day and their pizza is really good. We found it when we were looking for some pasta for a friend and we immediately got the reference from other Google reviewers. We are happy for finding another good family owned restaurant.“

“buen servicio y la comida riquísima 😋“

“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.“
