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.“

“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.“

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

“One of the best Olive Garden experiences I've had, and there have been MANY. We were seated quickly, our waitress was wonderful, and within 10 minutes of ordering, we all had our food. 3 meals, and they were all hot and delicious. Overall highly recommend dining here.“

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

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

“We discovered this place one day while we were looking for something to eat, in an area we aren't very familiar with. It was new to us and a complete AND wonderful surprise. It is rare for my family to find a place that everyone enjoys. This one definitely was a new found favorite.

The staff is friendly and professional. The food is hot, fresh, made to order. It's very tasty and should you need to modify, they seem to be able to accommodate.

The atmosphere is clean and casual, but still feels nicer than other places. Lots of seating inside, plus outdoor patio seating as well. Large capacity for bigger parties also.“

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

“Food here is phenomenal. Owner is actually from Italy. Service always friendly. It’s a small bistro with 3 tables inside and 2 in front, plus some general seating for the Shoppes out front. They also do catering; my group thoroughly enjoyed the food.“

“Great food. Great service. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Place was clean.“

“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“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.?“

“Great food and service and prices“

“Impeccable attentive service. Big hefty portions. Great bread sticks as always. The soups were also good. The entrees were average.

There is a smell of stale cheese in the air in most parts of the restaurant, some parts worse than others, I'm guessing from the decades of Parmesan grounded into the carpet. It was inigorable and honestly spoilt the experience.“

“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.“

“We always order Olive Garden to go. It saves us a lot of money, and we don't have to deal with restaurant wait times, tipping, or waiting for drink refills. Our orders are consistently ready on time for pickup, and they never have a problem including extra breadsticks, salad dressing, or other condiments when we ask. The food is hot, accurate, and convenient every time. For our family, takeout is the best way to enjoy Olive Garden.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! :')“

“Nice, standard. Good ambience“

“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!“

“We had an amazing experience at the Buena Park Olive Garden! Our server, Serenity, provided exceptional customer service and made our visit truly enjoyable. She was kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

Serenity is one of the best servers we’ve ever had, and she truly deserves recognition for her outstanding work. I hope her manager sees this review because she is a wonderful example of excellent customer service.

Thank you, Serenity! God bless you!“
