50 Best Italian Restaurants near Placentia

“After moving 10 yrs ago and not realizing there was a Pepz Pizza located about 20 minutes away, it made my day. I will drive the distance because I gots to have my BBQ chicken pizza!!! It's my favorite! The ratio of ingredients in every bite and the crust baked to perfection ahhhh....no words to describe. Pepz has great pizza and I also dig the antipasta salad. Everyone should try this place, it definitely won't disappoint.“

“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“

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

“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“

“I had forgotten why I haven't been here for a while. The problem a lot of people have is it is so dark and dingy inside. So annoying having to get phones out to read the menu. The fairy lights are cute and romantic but can you not put a candle or lamps on the tables so we can see what we're ordering and what we're eating please. I had the pasta less chicken dish which I've had before. The chicken was very dry this time and the meal could do with extra sauce on it. It's a shame because this place is good and the staff are okay. Our group of 8 Will come back again when the electric bill has been paid .“

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

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

“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.“

“Our server Baylee was super sweet and attentive. I’ve never had a bad experience here but she was one of the best servers I’ve ever had. The food was good, and the watermelon sangria was refreshing and delicious. Can’t wait to come back soon.“

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

“best food and the very best customer service ever!!!! we love love love the quality meats and the catering is #1 :)“

“An Absolute Gem! Tutto Fresco is Authentic Italian Perfection!*

What an amazing experience at Tutto Fresco! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and truly felt like a little slice of Italy.

The food was OUTSTANDING. Fresh ingredients, perfect portions, and flavors that are just unforgettable. Everything from the pasta to the pizza was cooked to perfection you can tell they put so much love and authenticity into every dish. The bread, the sauces, the desserts.....all 10/10!

Service was exceptional attentive, friendly, and fast without feeling rushed. The staff really makes you feel like family.

If you're looking for a real, authentic Italian restaurant that never disappoints, Tutto Fresco is THE place. Hands down one of the best Italian spots in Orange County!

We will definitely be back again and again. Highly, highly recommend to everybody.“

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“

“the food was really good and service was great“

“Most comprehensive selection of reasonably priced imported cheeses. The service at the deli counter in the market has been amazing both times I've shopped in the market. Yes, I drive 15 miles for their selection when making fine Italian food 🇮🇹“

“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.“

“Great food and service and prices“

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

“This restaurant is located in a shopping plaza at the corner of Birch Street and Kraemer Blvd in Brea. Parking was easy on a Monday evening. We did not need reservations and were seated promptly on arrival as it was pretty empty. The service was overall good. Our waiter checked in on us multiple times and was attentive. The complimentary bread and garlic butter was great, but the rest of the food was fine, honestly nothing special. Our pastas were on the oilier side and salty, but the portion sizes are huge.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Seasoning is perfect! Taste is everything!“

“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.?“

“My first visit to an Olive Garden and I loved it!! This location was great, lots of parking, friendly staff, and delicious food. Brandy helped us select our food and we loved our dishes. I loved the cheese ravioli!! They also offer curb side pick up. 10/10 would come back. Thank you Brandy!“

“Friendly staff, clean space and amazing food.“

“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!“

“Best pizza in town! Excellent service and the place is really well run. Very reasonable prices too. Keep it up guys.“

“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.“

“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 did not expect this place to have pizza AND banh mi! Walked in, instantly greeted by the friendliest people. Order a banh mi and coffee and it was good! Not much to say to be honest, its either good or bad to me and it wasnt bad 👌🏼 Diverse menu, good food, good people.

Parking in this plaza is terrible in the day time, though. It is what it is“

“Annissa was an amazing server! It is such a small world, I ran into a while back when she was a party host at Mainevent for my son's friend's party. She was amazing then and even amazing now. She brought our drinks and bread under 3 mins to our table, gave wonderful drink recomendaciones. I forgot what the tea was called but it came with an orange slice, it was so good. She was on top of refills for our drinks, breads and soups. I will definitely request to sit in her section for next time!“

“Olive garden never disappoints! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality. Our server was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The unlimited breadsticks are always a win and the food was hot and full of flavor. Berry sangria is so delicious! I got a pitcher of it and even my mom who doesnt drink alcohol at all ended up enjoying a glass after having a taste. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a casual dinner or a night out with family. Great food, great service and great value. We'll definitely be back!“

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

“Brought my family to grab lunch and escape the heat and had a fantastic time! Service was excellent as always and our server Kayla was so friendly and attentive. She made sure to check in with us every time she walked by and made sure we always had drink, soup and salad refills. The manager also came by to check in with us once he heard we had an allergy at the table. He came to make sure he understood the allergy and reassured us of how they would handle the food and prevent and cross contamination. He even came out with Kayla to deliver the food and make sure we knew that it had been specially prepared.

It is experiences like this that make us sure to return!“

“love the food and service is great“

“Amazing place for a delicious, fresh and healthy lunch.
Their food tastes great and their prices is amazingly affordable during their lunch specials. They have a different plate for every day and their pizza is really good. We found it when we were looking for some pasta for a friend and we immediately got the reference from other Google reviewers. We are happy for finding another good family owned restaurant.“
