“Yummy! I ordered their Margarita pizza, light on the cheese, extra basil. I phoned ahead, and it was just out of the oven when I arrived. The pizza was just as I ordered it, and it was delicious. My hairdresser is just across the street, so I will make this my monthly pizza fix.“
“Love this place. Very cozy and comfortable. They have the best Martini selection. Thursday night martini night is the best deal. Very popular. Come early at 5 when they open cause they are always busy. Food is delicious. Their seafood pasta selection is awesome. The staff are attentive and courteous. Great place for a good meal and drink.“
“I almost don’t want to leave a review because it will inevitably mean more people come to the restaurant, but there simply is no better New York style pizza in Southern California that I’ve been able to find. The owner is great, the value is good, the pizza is amazing. Be sure and come for the lunch special, and make sure one of your slices is the house pizza. You won’t regret it. Just please don’t come too often, I don’t want a long line when I come here twice a week.“
“The menu looks a little weighted towards Italian food, but there are plenty of Argentinian dishes.We had a group of 8, so we shared some empanadas, a couple Parrilla Mixtas (meat platters), and pizzas. The steaks and sausages were really good, and I regret forgetting my cooler so that I could visit the butcher.After lunch, I bought some pastries and snacks. I would have gotten some frozen empanadas too if I was better prepared.Vegetarian options: They are very proud of the Parrilla Mixta, and there is a butcher shop on site.That said the has several seafood dishes, vegetarian pizzas, and a few vegetarian sandwiches.“
“Had a great experience at this wonderful restaurant. Lady that was our waiter was very hilarious and relatable and not only that but was very helpful when ordering our food even went out of her way to even suggest additional toppings or items we could order with our food and fulfilled our needs to the best of her ability. Highly recommend to come visit this location if you haven't already“

“As someone who moved to California from New Jersey, I have pretty high pizza standards and have had a tough time finding a go-to spot that tastes like home….until NOW!!! One bite of the cheese pizza transported me back to NY. I live in LA and will happily make the 1.5 hour trip back to Brooklyn City Market any time, it’s really that worth it!!!“
“The food and ambiance was amazing , the food was flavorful and the atmosphere was great but felt very crowded in the small space . Only one gender nurtural bathroom so at times there was a long line . Our server seemed to give decent service to everyone but our table , she gave every other table touches and only checked in once after we had already finished our food . We felt very rushed. Overall I would recommend this place for the food and if you're in a hurry for table service food.“
“aPizza Doho is one of the best new restaurants to pop up in Dana Point. The pizzas are creative and flavors are always on point. Service team is fantastic - always a great experience and welcoming vibe. Personal favorites are the Stingray pizza, the Frito Misto appetizer and the Doho Chop salad. Also their lunch special is the best deal in town and can easily feed 2-3 people. Parking is challenging in the center, but the fight for a spot is worth it for aPizza Doho!“
“Pizza Amore Cafe is our new favorite pizza! I can't have gluten and their Gluten-free is absolutely yummy!! I also can't have garlic so that means no sauce and each time they have made my pizza perfectly!! I highly recommend them for tasty pizza ( Gluten-free & regular) and outstanding customer service!!!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free & garlic allergy“
“Vegetarian options: I can't honestly speak to this since I don't pay attention to it.Dietary restrictions: I asked about ingredients that my guests couldn't have and was graciously accommodated.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility from the front patio, through the restaurant to the back patio and at least the one bathroom I used.“
“I never leave reviews ….From out of town & not only is this the best pizza I’ve had but the fact that we got gluten free crust and I didn’t believe them that it was Gf.Seriously blew my mind! Got sausage & margarita with pepperoni. House salad was AMAZING!!“
“One of my favorite local spots. The food is always on point and fresh. The service is always great. Go for breakfast and get some incredible pastries. They’re delicious and they rotate the selection constantly which makes it fun. Their pasta is made in house, so we love going for dinner as well. I’ve tried several of the pasta dishes and I’ve never been disappointed. I could ramble on forever. Just make reservations (you have to call at least 24 hours in advance) and leave a little extra time to park. The lot in the back is small and if you can’t find a spot there, you’ll need to street park.“
“Incredible ragu! Meatballs; soft, cooked perfect…Only not nice thing was the toilets… the place of it, I could see some dirty areas close to the kitchen… the cabinet was dripping water..They were too busy I can understand that.Still really good and I recommend!“
“You need to come here! I have now been here 3 times and every time the experience is better than the last. The lasagna could be my last meal and I would die a happy man. I have never tasted a bread like their homemade focaccia, and if you do not add the imported fresh burrata cheese then you should slap yourself. And do not let the description deceive you, the savory pecorino doughnuts are the lightest, fluffiest, little taste of heaven that I almost asked for a few orders to go, but I held back as to know I would always return for more. Do yourself a favor and make sure to plan a dinner or lunch to come and do not plan on leaving quickly as you will keep ordering more.“

“My family and I have been coming to peppinoes and then here for over 20 hours and I can't tell you enough how amazing the food is and how amazing the owners are! I get the pasta fajole soup and it always makes me better when I'm sick and or when I'm in any type of pain. It's my miracle soup. Now that I am keto they make it for me without the pasta so I can still enjoy my favorite stuff. My daughter loves the Alfredo pizza and everything is homemade and so fresh! I love love this place and you won't be disappointed. What are you waiting for go put in an order, I know I am! ? ?????“
“Excellent meal and service! Ordered the Parlor salad, Bucatini all Amatriciana, and Guanciale pizza. Salad- great assortment of greens with fresh mozzarella and salami calabrese Bucatini- Pasta was cooked al dente with loads of Guanciale and pomodoro to make the dish extra special Pizza- Love the San Marzano tomatoes and the Fresno Chile/olive combination. Great crust with that char fired crust“
“What a wonderful evening at Piccolino. We were greeted by Aiden and McKenna and taken to a wonderful booth. Shelby was our amazing server. We also chatted with Sal, Jeff, and Devore. All wonderful people. We started with Patron Silver with three limes muddled and mint mixed with Pelligrino and the eggplant souffle. The drinks and appetizer were fantastic. We also had the bruscheta, which was quite tasty. Shelby stopped back by, and we ordered the main entrees. My wife ordered the Dover sole special, and I had the pasta wrapped lobster and crab. Juan Carlos delivered our entrees and de-boned the Dover sole tableside. The entrees were prepared and presented exquisitely and tasted amazing. We finished the evening with coffee and spumoni. Jeff stopped back by, and we had a wonderful conversation and appreciated his hospitality and kindness. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this fine establishment.“
“We really enjoyed our dinner at the macaroni Grill. We enjoyed our server, Bryce, he did a good job taking care of us. Our food was really delicious! Bryce told us some of the recipes had been updated recently. My wife and I both felt our dishes were extremely tasty. We are looking forward to returning for another enjoyable meal.“
“Homeslice is perfect! Great variety on the menu however not overwhelming or all over- just delightfully dialed in. Pizza is super flavorful but not heavy. Atmosphere is energizing and “homey” at the same time. Staff is super attentive, warm and patient.“
“The atmosphere is very nice and comfortable, the service was excellent, and the food was superb. We started out with a buffalo mozzarella and tomato in an age, balsamic vinegar, and then shared an Osso Buco entrée between my wife and I. One of the best Osso Buco we have ever had. And my wife and I are foodies.“

“Met a friend for happy hour at the bar. The female bartender was very friendly and acknowledged my presence immediately. Since the restaurant wasn't busy, my drink was made quickly. The happy hour menu has a nice selection of food choices to choose from and I ordered the cheese pizza which was excellent. Just the right amount of sauce and cheese on top of a delicious thin crust. As for the ambiance, it's a fairly typical bar with at least 8 seats at the bar and enough tables to seat multiple parties. If you're looking for good food, a cold drink and a local place to meet a friend, give Antonucci's a try.“
“Wow, we're so glad there's an Oliver's location in Irvine now! The food was incredibly delicious and flavorful, and the service was fantastic. You know how sometimes you get the feeling that the staff don't really want to be there? Everyone we interacted with seemed like they were happy to be there. Makes such a huge difference in someone's dining experience! Ambiance was upscale but not stuffy or stiff. Very fun and delicious place to enjoy a meal with friends or family, or even a business lunch. The complimentary house bread was so yummy, especially when paired with their savory olive tapenade. It's hard to resist filling up on bread. We started with a beet salad which was an amazing blend of flavors and textures, thanks to the thinly sliced beets, creamy cheese, and slightly candied walnuts. Fantastic salad that I would order again and again. For mains, we shared: Hokkaido Scallops from Oliver's Trattoria's Truffle Menu: shockingly delicious! The sweetness of the Hokkaido Scallops played perfectly with the truffle (not overpowered at all) and creamy sauce. The sauce was soooo tasty, we dipped pizza crust into it to make sure we didn't waste any of it, lol. A pricey dish but so well-executed and worth every penny. Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese: delicious savory meat sauce that covers nice al dente pasta. Sooo good and a must for Bolognese lovers. Chitarra Pomodoro: a signature for a reason and you can really taste the difference with fresh pasta. Margherita Pizza: sometimes the simple classics are the best, and this Margherita is no exception. Perfect pillowy crust texture on the edges, and a nice thin crust throughout most of the pizza. So delicious and we'll be ordering this whenever we crave pizza! For desserts, we shared 3, and each of us had a different favorite even though we agreed all of them were delicious, so you know they were all good in their own ways! Tiramisu: so creamy and decadent without being too sweet! Probably the best version of a classic Tiramisu I've had. Cheesecake: also not too sweet! Lovely flavors and crust. Tortino di Cioccolato: a chocolate lover's dream! And the gelato is a delicious complement as well. We can't wait to come back!“
“Got my food to go during lunch. The pics don’t do justice as it’s in to go containers, but the taste…. Oh my, the flavor! They treated me real nice and albeit small the restaurant was very nice. If I was a local, this would be a date night special for certain.“
“Gorgeous cafe located on a beautifully renovated little corner of Dana Point. So many varieties of avocado toasts and mix of European and American style menu for all tastes. We had Avocado toast with arugula and Dutch Boy, they were both fabulous. All the staff that were serving us were super friendly and they looked genuinely happy to be there. One of my new favorite for weekend brunch.“
“Angelina's is absolutely delightful and delicious! There's a lot of good food in Irvine, but this is a spot I definitely want to go back to. My chicken entree was some of the best cooked chicken I've ever had; it was a huge cut that was succulent and juicy. I was a bit worried about it being flavorless since I got the Calabrese sauce on the side, but even without it the taste was decadent. The salumi board and cheeses were also a hit, as was the burrata. I definitely stuffed myself with cheese and do not regret it in the slightest. I will say my drink wasn't the most exciting, but for one drink I definitely felt like there was a good amount of alcohol in it. Service, especially with drunks was also a little bit slow and they were bringing out drinks 1-2 at a time, but we had a large party on a week night and it looked like the bar only had one worker so it wasn't a big deal, I am understanding of that! All in all I really liked this spot and want to try more of their menu.“
“Ambience was wonderful, our waiter suburb, my lamb rack , above and beyond. My husband ordered ravioli with lobster scallops, shrimp. Really. 5 star meal and service,feel fortunate that they are here in Mission Viejo!! Love this restaurant ❤️“

“Amazing service, fabulous food!! Enjoy our meal! Love the asparagus fries...one of the best linguini and clam sauce I ever had!! Best tiramisu too! Only concern is that the bathroom needs to be checked in on more frequently...a bit dirty. The restaurant could use a little bit of an update...but will certainly return soon!!~“
“Beautiful Italian menu with lots of variety. No beach view but still close to the shore. Service was really nice... polite, engaging, attentive. We had the meatball sandwich, three pizzas, the bread, chicken parmesan and the ravioli. Everyone enjoyed their meals, although there was agreement that the food was just slightly under seasoned. Great spot for a quick lunch. The favorite was the chicken parmesan.“
“OC Pizza was always a place I saw near by when I would do my laundry at the laundry mat next over. Let me just say I hate doing laundry, but the best part is coming to get good pizza and amazing secret sauce. I may not be a sports fan but I am a fan of this establishment. I saw they sell fried zucchini and that's on my next try for the following visit. The young lady that works there is really polite!!! Thank you!!!“
“Absolutely love Tutto Fresco! I am a regular here and every visit is a delight. The variety of dishes is amazing, making it a challenge to choose just one. The quality of the food is consistently excellent, and I always leave satisfied. Service is great too. Highly recommend trying out this gem!“
“Another wonderful evening at Lucci's! Back to my favorite Lasagne Melania I. Others had the special Lobster Ravioli. Excellent as usual! Best service! Fun atmosphere. Donna played accordian music which we love. If you have never eaten here, you are missing a gem!“
“GG’s Bistro is a rare find: excellent food in a tourist town. I went today and loved it! If you’re willing to walk just a block up from the tourist traps, GG’s offers a clean and spacious new outdoor patio, as well as a nicely decorated indoor dining room. Service is very pleasant. They offered me a taste of Turkish Raki, and gave me good advice over all.I recommend the Meze Platter. And I loved the blackened salmon sandwich, which I ordered today for lunch.Parking: There is ample parking in the paid public parking lot behind the establishment.“
“Just moved to the area and stumbled across this little gem. We didn't have a reservation but were seated immediately. Mind you it was a Friday night at 7pm so that was a plus. They also had bar seating available and back room tables available for a short wait. Hosts and servers were all so nice The wine selection was decent and the service was great. The fresh bread the gave us with dinner was delicious and served with regular and pesto butter. They didn't skimp on the clams. the spumoni appetizer was great. Will be adding to our rotation of restaurants for date night. We ordered: Bruschetta appetizer Pasta Puttanesca Vongole with white sauce Bottle of Daou wine $50 spumoni bomba paid around 130 before tax? not bad! Place was fancy enough for date night but also causal for families as well.“
“After a day of bar hopping at the Swallows Parade, I stumbled upon this gem. Craving carbs, this place delivered exactly what I needed! The food was incredibly flavorful, hitting the spot just right. Despite its location along the main road, parking was surprisingly easy to find. The staff was fantastic, especially dealing with a crowd of tipsy customers. The outdoor area was a pleasant surprise--clean and inviting. A great spot to refuel after a fun-filled day!“

“Convenient place for a good sandwich or slice of pizza.They have a free trivia night on Thursdays at 7.Clean restaurant and restrooms.Dietary restrictions: There are Gluten Free pizza crusts available. Not sure about prevention practices regarding cross-contamination for celiacs.“
“Great food, great service, and the waiters really wait on you. The team takes great pride in the details. We felt like part of their family from the moment you walked in.Thank you for the great memory! I love this Italian restaurant.(part of our 35year anniversary / road trip)“
“It's hard to imagine finding an Italian restaurant of this caliber in an outdoor mall, but here it is. With a cozy atmosphere, excellent food, great service, and reasonable prices, you can't go wrong. We have been going there for years and have never been disappointed!“
“I have a picky palate, and Sal's is my new favorite pizza restaurant. I just wish they were more conveniently located, because at this time, I must park one or two floors down and finding parking is not so friendly. They do have nice table seating inside. I also buy pizza here and take it into the movie theater next door, because they allow it. Better and cheaper food, why not?Kid-friendliness: The place is PG.“
“Excellent Pizza with amazing flavor. The toppings were more than plentiful. They offer good choice specialty pizzas or build your own. The crust was very tasty all by itself. It's quick serve kind of place with both inside and outside seating. You're at the beach so bring a light weight jacket. Staff very friendly and recognized local repeat guests. We will definitely return soon!“
“Wow! This little gem in Lake Forest. We were running errands and it was cold and cloud day so we pulled into this cozy Italian restaurant! We were greeted by Zachary. He was incredible! He has THE BEST customer service. I knew I was going to leave a 5 star review before we even ordered. My husband wanted a Bloody Mary but can't handled spicy ones. Zachary offered to bring a sample of the base and the bartender even came over to chat about it. Btw if you like a little spice in your bloody, order it! It had the best flavor and was handmade. The food was amazing, the restaurant was clean and charming and Zachary was just so good at his job! We stayed way longer than we normally would because it was so comfortable and a place where you just want to take your time. We will absolutely will be back and look forward to another perfect experience! Portions were generous, the pizza was so good, as well as the pasta fazool, amazing! Super fresh salad, bread was fresh and warm. Go here! Ask for Zachary and enjoy a cocktail by an exceptional bartender!!“
“We love Briccio! They have live entertainment, the owner goes around to say hi to everyone, they remember their customers and the food is great. We just had their butter cake - the most delicious butter cake I ever had. Definitely a neighborhood gem.“
“First time here, and WOW, the food is delicious!! I have a feeling that everything on the menu is fantastic. I appreciate the free bread (a lot of restaurants make you ask or even charge these days). Some improvements to be made: 1. Some artwork on the walls. This spot is so cute. I love the chairs on the patio and I think there's so much potential with just a few small touches. 2. The flies. I really don't understand the flies out front and the few inside. Maybe they know how good the food is too?? Maybe a couple small fly traps would be beneficial. Either way, I'll still be back regardless, but just wanted to add my two cents, whatever it's worth. Last thing to add, our server was very kind and competent. She was alone and managing a few large parties, and yet we barely had to wait and she was very attentive. Thank you for great food and wonderful service!“
“Rays Pizza in the University Town Center isn't just about pizza .The real highlight was the hidden gem tucked away in the dining area: a classic Street Fighter arcade game! While we waited for our pizza, my son and I got into an epic battle.The staff at Rays were friendly and of course, the pizza lived up to its reputation – cheesy, saucy, and perfectly cooked.“
“This place serves the best pizza I've ever tasted, hands down. The flavors, the crust, the toppings - everything is just perfect. I find myself craving their pizza constantly! Not only is the food incredible, but the staff are also top-notch. They are friendly, attentive, and always make you feel welcome.“
“We were visiting S. Orange County from Weston (S.E Fla) Florida for my birthday on April 20, The food and service were impeccable. Making a reservation several weeks in advance is advisable. We'll be back this summer.Vegetarian options: Eggplant Parmesan.Parking: We found parking to be a bit of a struggle.“
“This place is so special!! The food is amazing, atmosphere is great, the owners are the kindest people you will ever meet. I ordered catering from here for my college graduation and engagement party and everyone was complimenting the food for days! You are seriously missing out if you haven’t tried Sabatinos!!!“

“Great everything here at this restaurant.They have friendly staff and have "gluten free" options for my severe allergic reactions !!!!!So grateful to have options here... And the waiter always checks with the cook!GO HERE.......Thank you“
“The food is spectacular, and the service is top notch. The owners are frequently there and very attentive. The restaurant is well run and it shows. The atmosphere is what really makes the experience in my opinion, perfect for a date night. The Happy Hour is also great and can be a bit more of a casual experience. If you have not been it is absolutely worth giving a try, you wont be disappointed!“
“We had a wonderful evening. We were celebrating our 45th anniversary. The service was very good, attentive but not hovering. Everything from the salad and bread to our main course was very good. We had eaten at some nice places during our trip and this was our favorite. Sorry we don't live closer because we would definitely be back. If future travels take us this way we are definitely going.“
“If you have not made your way to this local Italian Bistro, put it on your bucket list. I had the Turkey Panini. Easily the best Panini in Mission Viejo. As far as I've had, it's the best Panini in Orange County. There were thin slices of pear that were delicious. I came at lunch and had to take a salad to go for dinner.“
