50 Best Italian Restaurants near Placentia

“This was a great place for a fundraiser. Very helpful, communicative and friendly. Plenty of parking and seating. Even when the restaurant was full, it is still quiet enough to hold conversations without yelling. I plan to hold more events here!“

“My family has been coming here for 20+ years. Never disappoints! Such great pizza and the old chicken toy machine is STILL here ❤️“

“Great service great food friendly people“

“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“

“Absolutely love the food but it is the people that make this an exceptional fabulous dining experience!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“First time visiting and food was amazing and our server Damian was fantastic! We will be back!!“

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

“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.“

“Delicious! Quick with hot to-go orders!“

“Great place. Food was excellent. Service excellent. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. They explained how a dish was made and i had to order it and it was just as good as it was explained to me, excellent. A favorite in my book. I can't wait to try other dishes on their menu. Thank you Gusto for our first experience. We will be back.“

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

“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 Italian Sandwhich. Huge. Bread is great.“

“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“

“Corey was AMAZING! He was right, the cheesecake was a must!“

“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.“

“the Pescatore with garlic cream was excellent. As was the cold table water in a glass bottle,nice touch. Calamari and garlic bread appetizers were also very good. I would have liked a bit more atmosphere of an Italian restaurant and not 80's music playing in the background. Took my family for dinner first time and I would go back.“

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

“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!!“

“Seasoning is perfect! Taste is everything!“

“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.“

“It’s just a fun place to meet friends and have a good meal.“

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

“Food A- Service B+ Value/Pricing B Atmosphere C+ large screen TVs and Oldies music?! This is not a Sports bar.Too much background noise.?“

“I got their never ending pasta special starting at $15.99. It was really good. The first pasta you order will come in a large plate. And the refills will come in smaller plate.

You get unlimited pasta and soup and your choice of protein if you pay extra.

Overall, it was nice to try the different type of pasta they had. Take advantage of this deal for it's gone.“

“Great food and service and prices“

“Where the Conca’d Oro tradition continues with all the same recipes from their recently closed location in Orange.. Frank and the girls exceeded our expectations tonight with the antipasto salad, garlic bread 🥖 lasagna and topped off with tiramisu 🌰🍷🍷😎✔️😍“

“I had the Pasta Pomodora and it was outstanding.!Their BBQ Chicken Pizza great as well as their Taste of Italy! We will be returning!“

“I like the lunch special. The price is very reasonable. The food is good and so is the service. They give you a good portion too. it's a small, but cozy place. This was my first time there. It's fairly close to my house. The guy that served me was Chris and he was very nice and friendly. I will recommend this place to my family and friends. I look forward to coming back and trying other dishes.“

“Had a rehearsal dinner for our sons wedding here. The food was great and service was awesome. This was the first time for Angie and O to eat at a Buck di Beppo and glad we had such a great experience.“

“Parking was full but found a spot. Nobody was there to greet me so i walked straight to the bar, got a vodka strawberry drink and ordered chicken pasta. They brought a salad in a big bowl and some hot breadsticks. Ambiance was good, sat alone and bartender was cool.“

“I wanted to provide some feedback on my recent dining experience at your establishment.

The food that was served was delicious and definitely exceeded my expectations. However, I must express some concerns about the service that we received. The host assigned to our table did not check up on our needs as often as I had hoped for. I found myself continually having to ask for assistance and even had to raise my voice to get the attention of another hostess.

Moreover, the silverware provided was not clean, and the napkins given with the silverware were also not up to par. I believe that cleanliness should be a top priority in any dining establishment.“

“Beautiful ambiance Good Food and Good Drinks The GM Alex was very friendly and hospitable Thank You Alex We will be back!“

“love the food and service is great“

“I’ve been passing by this place for the last few months since they opened. So happy we finally took the time to stop. The pizzas are spectacular and I had the linguine with pesto and shrimp. It was great. My wife had a Panini that was also spectacular. The prices are super reasonable and it’s great for families. Highly recommend! will be back.“

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

“We were here for the X-JAMM Elements of Sound event during NAMM 2019. I bought our tickets because of Devin Townsend, but we were both excited to see Larry Mitchell, OHM (guitar god Chris Poland) and Larry Mitchell perform live, as well. I had no idea what to expect from the venue itself; I bought tickets two days before the show and was super disappointed by our placement. We were in the front row, but sitting at stage right. I thought for sure I'd miss a lot because I am so vertically challenged. Turns out I had no reason to despair. Our seats were practically on stage. They set up a small row of seats where the pit would live (in another, non-seated venue). We had up-close views of all performers, and the audio was expertly mixed to allow us to experience the music in all its glory. We were shown to our seats right when we checked in, and instantly had one of the friendliest waitresses at our side, asking for our drink and/or food orders. We both asked for a Guinness and told her we might order food later (it's not food from the restaurant next door if you're curious; they only serve stadium-type items). She came back empty-handed, apologizing profusely that the bar was out of Guinness. We changed our orders, and let her know it was totally fine, but she was so sweet and I could tell she felt bad. She made it a point to check on us throughout the night (we did end up sharing an order of $8 nachos to go with our $8 beers; at least she hooked us up on the cheese sauce), making sure not to bother us while a performance was actually happening. Now that I know that this place exists, I'll keep an eye on their events calendar. I liked how easy it was to get there, and how friendly the staff was. I just know to plan to eat dinner ahead of time, to save money.“

“Hi there,
I was watching some old shows from the 90s from the discovery channel. There were commercials I'm hoping we're from your restaurant. If this is the same place, same family I would like to let you know they were funny witty and hold up over time. Thank you“

“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! :')“

“I recently came here with my friends and I had a great experience. I got unlimited pasta and each was just as good as the last. My waitress was amazing and attentive. Even the staff who weren’t my waitress were helpful and willing to attend to us. I recommend this location.“

“Service was amazing! We were sat immediately, got our food quickly (within 5 minutes of ordering) and were checked up on periodically throughout the meal. Our server, Yahir, did so great! I will 100% be coming back to this location again! Cannot recommend it more!“
