9 Best Italian Restaurants in Escondido

“I've been eating at Joe's for about 20 years, and I still love his food. I was there 2 weeks ago and the food was outstanding. I usually order the Eggplant Parmigiana and it was even better than the last time. I'm grateful that he has his restaurant and offers us great food to eat. Thank you Joe!“

“Incredible food and excellent service ! Everything is perfect! Michelle and all staff are so amazing ! Thank you for having us and offering such delicious pasta and pizza! Thank you all and happy holidays!!!“

“Fierro’s Pizza catered our staff party and absolutely crushed it. The setup was seamless, the staff was professional and kind, and somehow hot, delicious pizza just kept appearing… and then immediately disappearing thanks to my very happy guests. Everyone was fed, full, and thriving. They even left us late-night bites, which was a heroic move. The food was fresh, tasty, and the setup was clean and cute, not your typical chaotic pizza situation. For context, we had about 25 people, everyone was stuffed, and we still had leftovers. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone throwing a party who wants zero stress and very full guests.“

“Greg the host at the front was cool and professional, he greeted us with a big smile and sat us at a nice booth next to the bar. Tone is the bartender‘s name and he was actually our waiter as we sat close to the bar . He was very attentive, very professional and friendly. The food was absolutely awesome. I ordered my favorites as my wife did the same. we had our niece and nephew with us. The breadsticks and chicken gnocchi soup were divine. I had the stuffed chicken masala, and it was absolutely delicious ! I love Olive Garden food and sometimes I just can’t get enough. I left very stuffed lol !!“

“We were nearby Rockin Jenny's and decided to just pop in after seeing so many people going in. We ended up ordered the Turkey Sub 9 inch. Super super good. Totally unexpected but it was one of the better sub sandwiches I had in a while. What was really good was the Italian dressing, that really made the sandwich and I would totally buy that if they sold it separately. Nice employees throughout the store and great food! Would definitely come back again and would love to try to the other sandwiches.“

“Had my 33rd bday here with 40+ guests and I can honestly say I am more than happy with the experience. The staff was attentive quick and super friendly. The food was great and the place was big enough where we didn’t feel trapped. Kaitlyn was the bar manager at the time and she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend this place for big events“

“Had a bridal shower for 25 ladies and Frank and the staff took good care of us ….. excellent food and wine and loved the Sangria. Perfect day on their patio to celebrate !!!“

“There is no pizza place I have frequented more often in my 10 years living in SoCal than Tikka Pizza Kitchen in Escondido. Their pizza is always so good. The warmth of the Indian spices and indulgence of pizza comes together in this small shop in such a fantastic way. If you like pizza, Indian food or just very flavorful food, give this place a shot. They deserve your money. And your taste buds deserve their food!“
