50 Best Italian Restaurants near Garden Grove

“I did not expect this place to have pizza AND banh mi! Walked in, instantly greeted by the friendliest people. Order a banh mi and coffee and it was good! Not much to say to be honest, its either good or bad to me and it wasnt bad 👌🏼 Diverse menu, good food, good people.

Parking in this plaza is terrible in the day time, though. It is what it is“

“buen servicio y la comida riquísima 😋“

“I had an amazing visit to Buca di Beppo in Garden Grove, such a great place right in Orange County. This is my new favorite place to go for authentic Italian Cuisine. Sammii recommended the chicken parmigiana and red velvet cake and it was really delicious. It felt great to get such a friendly welcome upon showing up as well. Sammii was kind, so helpful going way above and beyond to make sure my time there was incredible. Adrianna also took some really great pics that our family loves. I have absolutely no complaints at all I highly recommend everyone to check this place out and find out for yourself why everyone is so pleased with the food and service.“

“Five Stars 🌟, you will not be disappointed“

“Had lots of fun, at the Chinese New Years festival“

“We had a great experience! Food was really good and the service was great. Jesus really made our breakfast pleasant! He was so funny and great with our kids. He deserves some recognition from management for just being an all around good human and also being very good at customer service.“

“Excellent food either catering of order from regular menu. Their new delivery and invoice and early morning events for businesses is a plus which no other restaurants do these days. Staff are very nice the Owners are very generous and gave 20% business discount. We love it and order from them regularly. Thanks to David the owner. See you soon delicious delicious delicious.“

“It was a pleasure to stay here with my family. My kids enjoying the swimming so much and thanks for the facility cleanliness as well, the staffs were quick and easy helped! Thanks to all! 🙏❤️“

“So some of the best damn pizza I've ever had. The extra large pizza is so large that if you only eat 4 pieces a day, it can last you 3 days and every single day you will be full.

Parking: It's a bit tight to get into a parking spot, but the taste of the pizza is well worth it.“

“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.“

“Why isn't there a Tutto Fresco in LA County I hope to see one soon. You start with foccacia bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and then I got the bruchetta and my main entre was penne pasta. It was a meal for 2. Which I didn't expect the size of the portions. What really throws me off is the restaurant. You come in and order than you sit down and its brought to you. Like fast food restaurant but its NOT. And, and it has a drive thru just like a fast food“

“Excellent place to go with friends, before a show or to celebrate a special event. We've included this old time favorite in our current rotation of restaurants. Don't forget to order the bananas foster for a fun show at the end of your meal and you will need to make reservations!“

“Five Stars for having Angel Hair Pasta on the menu! Meat sauce marinara or, Bollinese!
It's what they do often, that's good. However, the Chicken Marsala was off. :More training needed in the kitchen. The Lasagna was cold on the inside, and had a strange flavor about it that I'm not familiar with. And, it had Spinach in it. I thought that too was... different. Not particularly appealing, to me. Your pro tip is to; tell them how you like your pasta cooked. I like mine well done. Super soft and luxurious. Love that. Best of luck Renato's. Hope you're around for another 44 plus years!“

“We have been coming to Mona Lisa for 10 years. The quality is unmatched and the service is impeccable. We now live in Thousand Oaks and whenever we are in the area we make a point to stop at Mona Lisa. We always leave happy. Cannot recommend enough.“

“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 .“

“2nd time here! Food was fantastic...again! Our server Tyler was fabulous!!! Happy Birthday to me!!“

“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“

“The food was so great! The waiter was so attentive. We had lots left over. And desert to go.“

“Il Dolce never disappoints. Every single bite is delicious, and the team behind it is just as great as the food — warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. Fernanda has built something special on Harbor and 19th. Go hungry.“

Everything we had was delicious-- meatballs, arugula salad, chicken dish, and rigatoni.
Servers were very pleasant and easy going. A small restaurant with big flavors and a nice family vibe.“

“Our server Baylee was super sweet and attentive. I’ve never had a bad experience here but she was one of the best servers I’ve ever had. The food was good, and the watermelon sangria was refreshing and delicious. Can’t wait to come back soon.“

“From the moment we walked in it had just a very inviting atmosphere and they made us so welcome. we ordered the chicken alfredo pizza which was out of this world. Very tasty, great sauce lot of chicken, very cheesy and flavorful, awesome crust. We can't wait to go back and try something else. I definitely recommend it“

“This is my favorite restaurant! I loved it back when it was on Bristol, but I have been back to the new Red Hill location twice now and it is even more of a special dining experience. Massimo has come out to explain the history of the wine and food and the sources of his ingredients. He tells wonderful stories with a great sense of humor, and his daughter who helps serve is also very knowledgeable and delightful. I feel transported and hosted in a way I have never experienced in a restaurant. The food is amazing. The fresh handmade pasta melts in your mouth. We have eaten every dessert and they are all spectacular. Every wine and appetizer we have tried has been extraordinary. I couldn't recommend this place more.“

“Wonderful place! Very helpful staff and warm customer service. They've been a family favorite since the 60s. They never disappoint.“

“Writing this review while absolutely devouring the best pizza I’ve ever had!! 🍕❤

I just got back from New York, and I’m not even kidding when I say this beats every pizza I had there.

I’ve been coming here for almost 3 years now, and it will forever be one of my favorite restaurants. Everything is SO flavorful. The chef seriously has magic hands because I have yet to order something that isn’t delicious.

I travel a ton, and whenever I’m back in town, this is always the first place I want to stop. The second I walk through the door, it feels like home. ❤

Forever a favorite!!“

“Great food. Great service. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Place was clean.“

“The lasagna was so creamy, best I've tasted in a long time. Salad was so fresh you could taste each ingredient, simply incredible. the pizza was just like home - in from NewYork. so appreciated. Bar was the topper. I'M IN LUV! :')“

“amazing food! fungi pasta was out of this world!“

“My friends and I went on Friday, July 10, at around 8-9. We were greeted with the most nicest and gorgeous hostess; after checking us in she complimented us and called us beautiful. So nice!!!! She was a dark-skinned woman with curly hair. Our server was also nice, the food was just okay. When we were leaving, I asked her for some mint chocolate, and she was so helpful and gave us some. She was absolutely wonderful!! The absolute best!!!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service. The owner was very attentive to us Omg the desert was out of this world“

“We had the all meat pizza and all meat calzone. Very highly recommend. Food was excellent, service was second to none. GREAT PLACE Check this place out YOU WILL NOT BE disappointed!!!!!!!!!“

“Came across this restaurant somehow. So I have decided to give it a try. It’s a small, cozy restaurant. Surprisingly food was good, and the restaurant very generous with the bottomless mimosa on a Sunday brunch. The champagne pour into the glass till it’s almost full. Leave only a little bit room to add the juice of your choice which was pineapple, guava, orange juice I forgot 1 more with just $19.99. It’s so cheap compare to other restaurants that offer bottomless mimosa starting at least $22 and up. Our server Gustavo was very nice, very attentive. There’s some parking in front and there are some in the back. I was there at 12pm so I found it ok. Not difficult at all. Not sure about dinner time. They do offer dinner menu as well on a Sunday brunch if you are interested you can ask for both menu to decide. For us, we ordered everything on dinner menu. lol.“
