“buen servicio y la comida riquísima 😋“

“Five Stars 🌟, you will not be disappointed“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is thee premier spot to get pizza. It’s like the Gods themselves personally hand made this pizza and blessed this amazing food establishment. Every bite was simply orgasmic. No other way to put it. I like it so much that I Im taking time out of my busy day to write this here review. In fact, I’m going there again in a couple of hours and I’m going to look the man who made my pizza square in the face and thank him for making such a godly pie and after that, i will proceed to buy another pizza. Jesus himself loved it. He told me. I swear.“

“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!“

“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“

“Service was pleasant, everyone was very nice. Type of place where management walks around and asks you how everything is. The food tastes home made and fresh. Everything was delicious. We had the ravioli di mamma Pina and the pappardelle, Kobe Bryant's favorite dish. I will definitely come back even though it's quite a drive for me. Plenty of parking out front. The dessert was also a hit with us.“

“Great food and a wonderful experience.“

“Between 1983 and 1995 I ate lunch almost daily at to your restaurant. In 95 I moved away from Southern California. When ever I visit the area I stop in for a bite. Best pizza in the world! The pasta is excellent. I now live in the Lake Tahoe area and there's nothing even close to it here or anywhere else for that matter (and lve been to NY and Jersey). Everything I've ever ordered there has been fantastic.“

“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.“

“The food is always great, and on Tuesdays they have 1/2 off a second entree when you buy the first. I personally love their salad so much that I would go there just for that alone, and im not really a salad person. Service is always phenomenal and the vibes are nice. I do wish they had the buckler non alcoholic drink that's on the menu, but they necer seem to have it. Highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“I am Italian and Greek, and this is by far the best food, service, ownership and overall experience I have ever had in a restaurant in CA. I have been here almost 30 years.“

“Food is always good. Entertainment is fantastic.“

“Delicious Italian cuisine! Stylish interior of the Restaurant!“

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

“I’ve been coming to Il Dolce as long as it’s been open. The family and staff are so warm. It’s like coming home.

Vegetarian options galore. I always say I’m not going to have dessert but I always cave because they’re all so delicious.

Pizza and pasta dishes are incredible.“

“Second great meal. It’s a simple place but don’t let that fool you. The food is high-end freshly prepared. Great Neapolitan style pizzas. I had the pork osso buco over rustic mashed potatoes and spinich with a pan reduction sauce to die for. My wife had the (very large) chicken breast portobello over the potatoes and Spinich with another pan reduction sauce to die for. Shared half a huge salad. Nice glass of wine. Finished and people were waiting outside to get a table, happy to talk while waiting. It’s cash only so bring cash, or ATM inside.“

“We really can’t seem to drive past an Olive Garden — it’s like there’s this magic field that traps us in its charm.
The Anaheim location was exactly the perfectly expected meal we’ve now added to our Top 5 must‑have meals when visiting the USA, and for good reason — THE VALUE IS BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL.

Everything about a meal here has us hooked. We genuinely LOVE OLIVE GARDEN.
From the staff, to the flavours, to the variety, to the price point — it’s everything you want when travelling and the perfect choice for a solid daily meal.

My daughter can’t go past the spag + schnitty combo with a side of broccoli, while I like to switch things up… but honestly, the Shrimp Scampi is almost impossible to pass up.
Because we were visiting in winter, we chose the chicken gnocchi soup as our side — absolute comfort in a bowl.“

“This place is phenomenal. It’s family owned and when you go there you are treated like family. Thank you so much Laura for making my birthday special ❤️“

“Best food Round and the portions are awesome.“

“Simply over the top! That’s a wrap“

“Quite honestly, it just doesn’t get any better than this… we LOVE this restaurant. Julia & Doug.“

“Fresh homemade pasta. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service 😍“

“Ambiance is perfect for all occasions, food is delicious with weekly specials! Martini Thursday is my fav!! Eat Italian here, you won’t be disappointed especially when you can take a stroll on the beach before/after. Cheers!“

“I would have given the food 5 stars but I felt the bread that was brought to the table needed to be toasted. It was to soft for my liking. It got soggy when I dipped it in the oil and vinegar.
I ordered the meatball appetizer and the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo. Both the app and the entrée had great flavor!!! Both had the right amount of sauce. The portion served was just right!
Staff was friendly and very attentive.
I would definitely come back.“

“Great service, authentic Italian food“

“Great Italian Sandwhich. Huge. Bread is great.“

“The best Italian food in the country!“

“Really enjoyed a great breakfast here polite hostess and the food was absolutely delicious“

“Mouthwatering and delicious food!!“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“Friendly service and tasty Italian food. The Gnocchi was amazing, also the panna cotta was delicious. I recommend this place.“

“We ate dinner here for the first time tonight. The food was delicious and we'll definitely be back. We had spaghetti and meatballs, and seafood linguine. 😋“

“Italian Express has great food and even better service. It's a great local family owned Italian restaurant. All of the typical foods are awesome - pizzas, pastas, etc - but also try their spicy wings and their garlic knots!!“

“been ordering for 4 yrs love there menu good prices happy they deliver“

“Franco's is a wonderful place to go and support. The staff is always friendly, food is always great, and they are open for lunch on the weekend! Pizza is great. Sauce has a fantastic flavor, dough is fresh and cooked just right. All of the pasta dishes are done right, and the chicken parm is the best!“
