22 Best Italian Restaurants in Temecula

“The food is artfully served and delicious. The specials are excellent. The staff is knowledge, attentive and friendly. Good wine list, full bar, Happy Hour offers nice discounts.“

“This was a surprising find. Ben was very knowledgeable and kind in the tasting room, where I could figure out what I wanted to drink with my excellent lunch my mama Rosa sandwich, highly recommend. Ben also helped me with my purchases of 2 sav blanc, 2 pinot gris and 2 barbaras, 4 are gifts. Lots of fun to speak withbBen and he knows his wines, esp at Robert Renzoni.
The sandwich was fantastic, personally, I would have preferred the side salad but my bf choose the truffle fries. For me it was a little too heavy on the truffle and salt, but the dipping sauce rounded out the flavors. He had short rib pasta with gargonzola sauce. Next time we will try a pizza with salad or split a sandwich with a salad. The sandwich was very tasty, and the fresh bread made had the perfect texture, and worth the carbs. I had it with the pink gris, but also enjoyed the sav blanc. Typically I am not a California sav blanc fan but this had the citrus notes I enjoy in the new Zealand with more softness like a French or Italian, rounded out with the aging in cement. Very interesting. My bf enjoyed both white wines and is Typically not impressed with whites.“

“Cory was our server and I have got to say he was the BEST server that I have ever had. I usually only go to Olive Garden once or twice a year and the service was just as amazing as the food. I will be back more frequently now because of such a wonderful experience.“

“We just tried the Margherita and Cheese pizzas while at PAMEC Winery in Temecula. The owners were the ones who spoke to us as we ordered and explained it was their first time at PAMEC and they have a storefront as well.

The dough was very light and tangy, almost like a sourdough. It was incredible and I could eat that alone all day. The ingredients were fresh and you can taste the knowledge and care in their product.

I highly recommend this pizza to anyone in the area! You will not be disappointed!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Akash Winery is such an amazing experience! The Pinot Gris was absolutely delicious, and the Agua Fresca cocktail was refreshing and so good. The DJs create the perfect vibe, and having an amazing taco truck on-site makes it even better!

The views are gorgeous, and the decor is top-notch — every detail makes the winery feel fun, stylish, and inviting. Great service, wine, cocktails, food, music, and atmosphere all in one place. Definitely a must-visit and a place I’ll be coming back to! 🍷🌮🎶✨“

“This is one of the last true homemade italian restaurants in the county. I love bringing my family here, the service is always amazing, and the environment is welcoming. Thank you again to all service staff and cooks for another wonderful meal.“

“Love Vince’s food, but they are literally the only Italian food joint I have ever been to that charges you for plates when you order a full size Antipasta!! Like am I supposed to just slide the trough of antipasta around the table so each person can take a bite?!?! 2 bucks per plate on top of the cost of a full anti pasta.“

“great response time and amazing customer service“

“Great food. Great service. With the new expansion it appears they have tried to fit it as many tables as possible that detracted from the experience. We had a very loud and inappropriate individual next to us. Table was less than two feet from our. The staff at the restaurant handled the situation the best they could which we appreciated. Would not prevent me from going back. Would ask for specific table placement if possible.“

“So excited about the addition of craft beer at Akash Winery! Love the Hazy DIPA“

“This review is actually more for an employee rather than the company as a whole. I had the pleasure of being served by Michael. Let me start off by saying he made my day a ton better. The young man was extremely nice and had an amazing attitude. He went out of his way to make sure that I had a small sample of whatever I was interested in and gave me suggestions based off what I was feeling. Michael made me want to come back for sure!!! Keep up the great work Michael and good job on you Villa, you picked a winner when you hired Michael.“

“There's a person who works behind the counter by the name of, Tyler. He went out of his way to cook two slices for me so they would be fresh. He asked how long it would be before I got there. I said, "10 minutes." and there they were, ready for me to take home. Thank you, Tyler! You gave me outstanding service!“

“Where do I start.. we walked in with a group of 20+. Owner looked shocked to see so many people in line. They took care of everything we order his daught an wife where prep everything fresh! Yes it was taking a while to get our food but your getting it FRESH.“

“Excellent pizza and awesome service..just wish there was one close to me in Ventura County!“

“Service was quick and friendly, even during a busy rush, and the place had a clean, laid-back vibe that made it easy to enjoy the meal. Prices felt fair for the quality you’re getting.

Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to—highly recommend if you’re looking for a solid sandwich and cannoli done right. Family Owned Gem!“
