“When we went to eat on Friday night there was an amazing server named skyler(Skylar) and she was the best server we have ever received. My fiance was eating soup and when he was finished she noticed that he didn't eat part of the soup and specifically asked if he would like it without. The attention to detail and customer service was above and beyond to where we will be going back just for the customer service that was provided. I hope she sees this review because she was amazing. :) Thank you.“

“My wife and I have traveled to a lot of places, eaten at a lot of restaurants, and this one truly stands out. They could easily charge double for their food, and I wouldn’t bat an eye. Incredibly fair prices on delicious food with friendly and fast service - I wish we could take this place home with us.“

“This is genuinely the best Italian restaurant me and my wife have ever been to and probably the best meal we have ever had. The calamari is the best we have ever had and the side salads were amazing with the house vineagrette. The fettuccine with lobster and the chicken parmigiana were absolutely amazing. We finished with a canoli and it was the best we have ever had. The atmosphere was really nice and the service was top notch. Our waitress would refill drinks within seconds of them being even close to empty and empty dishes were picked up almost immediately. For all of this you would expect a hefty price tag but all of that food was under $85. We will 100% be going back!“

“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.“

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

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

“The aroma is so heavily delicious you smell it as soon as you get out of your car. Great wine selection and the bread so soft and warm. The egg plant Parmesan was to die for. Can’t wait to return. The place was crowded, but worth the wait. Servers and cooks all working quickly to get the food out while it was hot. Happy atmosphere and very clean“

“I came in for a little snack with my dad and ordered a simple spaghetti with spinach and marinara sauce. (lil tip ask about the special when you visit because on Sunday you get free garlic bread with spaghetti ) Anyways, for a marinara sauce it was delicious and silky, with a perfect balance of tomato tartness and olive oil. The garlic bread was amazing too with a delightful crunch, perfect for soaking up every last bit of sauce. Staff was also super friendly, welcoming and helpful“

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.“

“Truly a hidden gem. Several levels of dining space combined with the big fireplace gives the restaurant a unique ambiance. The food was superb, incredible pasta. There was a live pianist playing that made the evening even more memorable. As it often happens with places like this, service was impeccable.“

“I'm not the biggest fan of Olive Garden, but this time I went with my family and we were a party of 8. We all had the lunch special and a lot of soup. If anything, that's what makes Olive Garden great. Anyways, two managers came by to ask how we were, and one of them congratulated me for graduating. It made us all laugh. I graduated years ago. I was just wearing a Harry Potter robe LOL! But it was a funny time that day receiving so many congratulations.

Anyhow, I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo. Not anything wowing but definitely not Spaghetti Factory bad. It was good.“

“Very nice atmosphere, delicious food, in a family-owned restaurant! Loved it and will definitely be back!“

“We have been coming to Luigi’s for about 20 years and it never disappoints. My husband always gets chicken parm and I get the Tortillini D’ Angelo and it is amazing. The pizza is also great. You won’t be disappointed. Great food, good service and prices.“

“Nice, standard. Good ambience“

“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.“

“We had a large party tonight. The managers/leads handled this fantastic! The servers we had for our large party were so fantastic!! Food was hot and good! Desserts were amazing!! It was a great way to end our softball season! 🥎 Thank you!!“

“We stopped by the Olive Garden in Buena Park for dinner and had a really great experience overall — definitely a 5 out of 5 for me.

The food was awesome. I didn’t really like the chicken gnocchi soup, though — something about the texture just didn’t sit right with me. Not sure what it was exactly, but it didn’t have the same appeal as everything else. That said, the never-ending salad was so good. Super fresh and crisp, and they brought out plenty of it.

Our server was really sweet, even though she accidentally forgot my Dr. Pepper at first. I mentioned it, and she apologized and comped the drink, which I thought was a really thoughtful gesture. Big points for how she handled that!

There was no wait at all when we arrived (just the two of us), and we got seated at a booth right away. It was clean, quiet inside, and honestly a really comfortable vibe. I’d say it’s not necessary to make a reservation, at least based on our visit, but it probably depends on the day since I’m not local.

The parking lot was a little sketchy, especially later in the evening — we heard a couple of people yelling at each other out there, which was kind of unsettling, but once inside, it was calm and welcoming.

We spent about $10 to $20 per person, which felt super fair for the amount of food and service we got.

Overall: great service, great food (minus that one soup), and I’d definitely come back again if I’m in the area.“

“Excellent time! Ordered the Calabrian Steak and Shrimp Bucatini w/ extra, extra cheese and the Chocolate Lasagna for dessert. The Calabrian crème sauce was spicy, but not overpowering. The dessert was scrumptious! Sarah, our waitress, checked in to make sure everything was perfect. Especially the request for extra, extra cheese lol. Thank you Sarah and Olive Garden for a beautiful and delicious evening!“

“Because of a recent illness, I must be careful about salt intake. Our server ( wish I would have written his name) was extremely kind and helpful in helping me with my selections. I’ll certainly return to this restaurant. Good food and excellent service!“

“It has been a year since we ate Big Bertha's and my family is STILL talking about how tasty this pizza is! Got a giant pizza delivered the first day of our Disney trip, super quick and friendly delivery, and we able to pack it into the parks and the perfect post park day snack. LOVED that we could split the pizza ingredients by quarters giving us a lot of flexibility. Looking forward to our next trip so we can get more pizza.“

“Love their food! It’s delicious every single time“

“Our go to Italian restaurant…. Great food, quick service and friendly knowledgeable servers….“
