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.“

“We had a hankering for some soup, salad and breadsticks! So we called had to let him know that we needed a highchair. No problem. We showed up and this Olive Garden has to be one of the prettiest Olive Gardens in the area. The manager’s name is on the door and when we walked in the manager, was there waiting to greet us. So that was really cool. It only took us about two minutes to get a table when it was very busy. And then our waitress Michelle was outstanding. She was great with the kids. She was very attentive and she had a lot of tables. I got an unlimited soup salad and breadsticks of course so she had to keep bringing me back soups, and there was never a time I was sitting and waiting. We’re definitely coming back to this one. Thanks again.“

“Mama Rosa Trattoria & Winery is a gem in Temecula. While it can get busy, especially on weekends, the delicious food, impressive wine selection, and lovely ambiance make it well worth the visit. Just be sure to make a reservation, especially during peak season!“

“We used Gourmet Italia to cater my small wedding. The food was delicious and people got themselves full plates! Thank you for helping make my special day memorable. We will definitely go back to eat at this restaurant.“

“Amazing pizzas and sandwiches! This visit, we had the special pizza of the day (pictured) which had pancetta &basil and it was amazing! We've previously had the caprese sandwich and it's also delicious! Highly recommend grabbing a glass of wine, ordering some food here, and enjoying the amazing view of Akash Winery!“

“I've been bringing my children there since they were baby's. It's a nostalgic event for us and the family feast is the driving point for us. The price is still excellent and the wait is easy on time. If you desire a good pizza, good spaghetti and great lasagna, then the family feast is what will bring you there. Very affordable and very much worth the time. I'd have to say, after 25 years, it's still my favorite Italian 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.“

“Hosted our rehearsal dinner at the private patio in the vineyards and it was amazing. The actual space is unique and beautiful, and the staff was super helpful. It was a 10/10 experience for us and was a highlight for our guests. We catered through Bocconocini and the pizza was delicious, and they made extras before we left for us to take home. Cannot recommend more highly for hosting a private dinner/event.“

“We had a delicious lunch at Macaroni Grill today. The food was very good: spaghetti and meatballs, fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, tiramisu and bread and dip. Nasser was our server who gave us excellent attention. Let's keep this restaurant in business.“

“Love this place because they’re pizza is authentic, n our waitress Ariel is the sweetest“

“Probably one of the best chefs. Pietro is from Sardinia. His food is magnificent. Every flavor is better than the next. I was blown away last night for my husband’s birthday. He granted a special request for me as my husband loves steak tartar. I was blown away probably the best ive ever had. Then the carbonara was the best of ever had in America that is saying a lot as I’m a foodie. This i restaurant is the most underrated restaurant in Temecula with the best food here..“

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

“Best darn Gelato this side of Italy and that Carmel Pecan Bar will knock your socks off . Best dessert bar I have ever had. The arugula salad was outstanding, , please no seed oils like Canola-Soybean Olive oil only“

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

“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!“

“Great place and very comfy, ITS FAMILY OWNED SO GO SUPPORT THEM. Besides that though it got a great selection of food and drinks. The food was spot on and it's very clean.

Hope to come again if I got another event to go back to Temecula.“

“Delicious! Our new favorite spot when we are craving a sub. We got the ultimate mafia marriage in a 9 in, and man the 9in is huge! Gonna get a 6in next time. We were impressed with how they made our sandwiches and the taste. The Italian bread is lightly toasted, not warm. Lots of meat. Love all the toppings (tomato lettece onion jalapeñs olives pepperoncinis! Can add mayo or mustard or Chipotle mayo or their homemade Italian dressing. We will definitely be back! Pepsi products are served here and tables weren't wiped down. Great prices, nice employees. Excellent spot to chow down at lunch!“
