7 Best Italian Restaurants near Cerritos

“The food at Olive Garden was pretty good, but the real reason this visit stood out was our waitress, Catherine.

From the moment we sat down, she treated us with a level of kindness and genuine empathy that you rarely come across. It never felt like she was simply doing her job. You could tell she truly cared about making sure we had a great experience. She noticed the little things before we even had to ask, checked in at just the right times, and somehow made us feel like we were her only table even though the restaurant was busy.

Great service is about much more than getting orders right. It is about making people feel welcomed, valued, and cared for. Catherine did exactly that. Her warmth and sincerity turned an ordinary dinner into something we will genuinely remember. People like her are the reason customers return.

The meal was enjoyable, but it is Catherine’s exceptional hospitality that we will be talking about long after we have forgotten what we ordered. She represents everything you hope for when you go out to eat. Olive Garden is incredibly fortunate to have someone with her level of professionalism, compassion, and dedication. It is hard to imagine anyone leaving her table without a smile.

Thank you, Catherine, for making our night so much better than we expected. You made us feel like guests instead of customers, and that is something that cannot be taught.“

“My family and I visited North Italia on May 25th, (yeah I'm late). We only waited about 15 minutes to be seated, and from that point on, everything was fantastic.

A huge thank you to our server, Nick, who was truly exceptional! Since it was our first time dining here, we asked for his suggestions, and his recommendations for our appetizers, entrees, drinks, and desserts was absolutely amazing. We were so impressed by his professionalism and attentive service; we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

At the end of our meal, the manager stopped by to check on us, and we made sure to let her know how much we enjoyed the food and how stellar Nick was. She was so appreciative of the feedback that she even gave us a coupon for a free dessert for our next visit. We will definitely be returning soon!“

“The wings, gluten free crust, salads, cheesy garlic bread and cupping pepperoni are my favs!! Awesome owners, employees and atmosphere. Come here often, sometimes twice in one week!!“

“It was quite busy when we went to dinner on a Saturday night for my father-in-law's birthday. The staff was very accommodating to our large group (14 people, 2 children). The servere were courteous and helpful. Our order was taken quickly and accurately. The food was served hot and was delicious. The atmosphere was family friendly and relaxed. I look forward to having family dinners there.“

“何を食べても美味しいよ“

“I wanted an antipasto salad but I wanted it chopped up in little pieces. I offered to pay more for it they said don't worry about it and when the horror game I was told that the owner of the restaurant chopped it for me. That was so kind and it was delicious“

“Update!!! July 4th. The people in charge at Sabarro dont mess around. I left a rather negative review about my last experience at Sabarro, who's Pizza by the way I love and have loved for along time, but the last visit did not go so well (read 1st coment down below) and a few days later I was contacted by, i am asumming headquarters, with an apology. Now to be honest even a simple apology was unexpected because most places don't respond to there negative reviews but not Sabarro. So they apologized for the negative experience and they sent me a comp meal ticket in the mail. Like the actual physical mail box. When they said they were going to send me something I just assumed it was via email but I got a personalized letter and everything. So thank you Sabarro for doing good work and for what ever it helps I have used my rating for you. I look forward to my next slice of pizza!!!Don't get me wrong I love to Sbarro Pizza but certain to Sbarro's ate better than others this place had a staff who did not know what they were doing when they give me my pizza I opened the box the front half of my slice was missing just gone two out of the three people behind the counter did not speak English and the one that did had a very heavy Chinese accent it was difficult to understand her. The two who did not speak English spoke only Spanish how they spoke with eachother I have no idea which might have been part of the problem. Pizza was cold to boot. It was in a mall with a lot of pretty people to look at thats why I gave it a 4 on atmosphere lol“
