5 Best Italian Restaurants near Murphys

“Wow, what a surprise and delight to have such a fantastic dinner at Toscano's the other night. From the ease of calling in to make a reservation, promptly sitting us down when we arrived, top notch service throughout the meal, to getting our check quickly with boxes to go. Chris was our waiter and did an outstanding job! All the wines are local and priced affordably which was nice. We started off with fresh bread and a perfectly cooked, lightly crusted calamari appetizer served with a tasty aioli. For our entrees my 2 daughter's got the pollo Alfredo which had perfect chunks of chicken breast meat in a slightly heavy cream sauce that had a nice hint of garlic. My wife had a perfectly pounded Veal marsala that was thin, had a wonderful mushroom sauce and a delight to eat. I had the grilled Ribeye in a heavy burgundy sauce. It was nice to taste the charcoal flavor combined with the tasty sauce for what was a perfectly cooked quality piece of meat. A perfect compliment. Oh, the mashed potatoes were over the top. My daughter had to sadly report, that they were better than mine. Argh. The amount of food was more than enough that we took a bunch home. We had to try one of their desserts and settled on the carrot cake as the berry cobbler was sold out. We had a wonderful experience, fantastic service at a price that was reasonable for today's restaurants. We will definitely go back next time we are in Murphy's!!!“

“Definitely the best pizza in Calaveras County. Pizza that never dissapoints“

“Amazing food great spot to take the entire family.“

“I wanted a good sandwich; I don't cook well. I went to Crusco's and had a very tasty French Dip sandwich; the waitresses were polite and I had a pleasant experience all by myself. Thanks“

“I've been here a handful of times since the ownership change. The food is always good, the service very friendly, it's very clean and prices are reasonable. I always get a small town welcoming feel. I see some reviews of slow service but I think they are getting up and running so just be patient. They clearly are trying hard and care about their business and customers. They also have a good selection of beer on tap. I'm glad Arnold has a great pizza place. I recommend the Pizza Factory (btw I don't know any of the owners or staff so it's completely an objective review).“
