Recently returned from Italy, this place hit the mark!!! EVERYTHING was absolutely DELISH!! The bruscetta, PERFECT. The lobster ravioli, PHENOMENAL ...everything we tried was top notch! We also had pizzas, chicken fettuccine, the original spaghetti all so yummy!! This place is a smaller restaurant, 3 large booths & long tables for family gatherings or can be made into smaller groupings, has a parking lot in addition to lots of street parking (a huge deal in this area) Family owned & a new favorite of ours. We will ALWAYS come back to this spot now for our Italian cravings fixes!! ✨️

The prices have gotten atrocious. I ordered the minestrone to go and the container was only half full.

Ate here twice while on vacation. Excellent food and service. Wish we had one where I live.

We had lunch at Italian Cravings and were completely blown away. As someone who needs gluten-free options, finding a place that makes it taste this good is incredible. I had the gluten-free pasta with clams, and it was one of the best I've ever had – truly divine. On top of the amazing food, the staff is just wonderful. Everyone was so kind and made us feel right at home. It was so good that we couldn't resist coming back for dinner the next night! This is our new favorite spot.

Don’t expect a New York pizza. Don’t expect to get extra sides you pay for. Don’t expect napkins or forks to be included. Pizza is mediocre.
Very comfortable outside seating and food was delicious!

We visited San Clemente a couple of weeks ago from Jurupa Valley on a whim. We just drove down to have dinner here again. Love the food here.

We've been coming to this little Italian gem since 2013, and it’s truly become a part of our family’s story. The food is always amazing — rich, comforting, and full of flavor, just like you’d hope for from a real Italian kitchen. But what makes it even more special is the heart behind it.
Years ago, the owner generously gave our eldest a part-time job while he was attending college. That simple act of kindness meant so much to us and helped shape a big chapter in our lives. It's rare to find a place that feeds both your stomach and your soul.
Still our go-to spot after all these years. Grazie mille!

order the minestrone soup to go and it was half full. and was basically just noodles with tomato base- not a real minestrone soup. ordered and paid $21 for the spaghetti and meatballs and it was disgusting. The meatballs you could tell were from a frozen pack and not fresh or homemade. And the sauce was basically thrown on after boiling the pasta. Super lazy and it made me sick. Will not be coming back.
