10 Best Italian Restaurants in Santa Ana

“Top notch Italian food ... Especially for a chain restaurant. Out server was fast, friendly, and efficient. Her right biceps was strong from hearing all that cheese onto salads... And anything else we wanted it on. We all had different dishes from lasagna to shrimp to fettuccini. We kept sharing and couldn't decide which was best .. All of them!“

Stopped in here to have a bite with a friend. Nice dim lighting creates a great ambiance. We were seated relatively quickly. Open seating in this occasion. Alejandro was very attentive to us. Not a long wait for our orders to be taken. They have an exquisite Salmon Salad. Dining area is very clean and organized. Either in-use or prepped for next customer use. Facilities clean and well maintained. Will surely return many times!
Definitely a 5-star rating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Tutto Fresco!

“This is a very traditional and authentic Italian restaurant. Their pasta is made fresh daily and have lots of other meal options like beef ribs with risotto, calamari, salads and serve a kids menu aswell. Only open in the later afternoon hours 5:30 to 9ish. I had the lentil and pasta fagioli and it was amazing (on two different occasions) Dinner portions are small so you will have room for one of their desserts. Come on payday because its on the pricey side. Unless you order like normal people, not like us having soup, salad, entree and dessert. Really a neat place for a candle light dinner. Plenty of parking and the staff is really on their A game, Ol' time kinda service checking on you and making sure your cup is always full. The place has lots of Italian charm. They also offer a few dishes table side that I will try next payday 😉. Had a really good experience here.“

“This is the best place ever am obsessed with the food here!!“

“delicious 😋 la mejor 💯 %..“

“The venue/restaurant is clean, relaxing, and beautifully kept. The food tastes good, and has variety and quantity to choose from. However, its vibrant feel does not reflect in the staff. The kitchen staff is friendly, and helpful. Whereas, the hosts and waiters are not as attentive and welcoming. I've celebrated many different occasions throughout the years at the Green Parrot, but every single time my experience has been the same with the staff.“

“My wife and I stopped for a random pie in CA while visiting Disneyland. Horacio helped us with our order, made it to perfection, and offered the best service out there. I highly recommend Late Night Pizza whenever you’re in the area. It’s worth noting - the pie reheated the next day is outstanding due to the quality toppings, cheese, and sauce used. Thanks again!“

“Love the food. Love the people. Love the portions.Lovs their prices!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
