12 Best Italian Restaurants in Tustin

“Simply over the top! That’s a wrap“

“The food was so great! The waiter was so attentive. We had lots left over. And desert to go.“

“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!!“

“Great food, great service, and great entertainment, especially the sax and guitar duo (Dave Rivera and Saxophone ONE)!“

“I absolutely love Piadina. The food is consistently excellent and the quality of the ingredients is outstanding. My parents live abroad, and every time they visit, this is one of their favorite places to eat — it’s honestly one of the healthiest and highest-quality options we can find.

I was also very happy to see that you recently added a premium, high-quality steak to the menu. It’s a great addition and fits perfectly with the quality standards of the restaurant.

The only challenge I’ve encountered is with online ordering. At the moment, the steak option is not available online (only brisket appears), and the platform mainly offers “add-ons” but doesn’t allow for easy substitutions or removals. There’s also no option to request no dressing, which makes it harder to customize orders.

Because I truly love this place and order from here often, I’d love to see some improvements in the online menu — more flexibility with substitutions, removals, and full access to the in-store menu items. I believe this would make ordering even more efficient and enjoyable for customers.

Thank you for the amazing food and for maintaining such high standards. I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Amazing menu, excellent atmosphere. We truly enjoy meeting here for our lunch gatherings!“

“Great atmosphere, food, and drinks...and sometimes has live music too!“

“The chef puts out unique and delicious pizzas, pastas, daily specials and desserts. Very unique location too!“

“Listen. LISTEN. You guys. This is a GEM of a pizza place. Seriously. The pizzas are a work of art. Everytime I drove down from LA to SD I stop here on the way. Just look at it. LOOK AT IT! Highly recommend. Tell a friend, enjoy… I know I do“

“The pizza..!!! Delicious!!“

“Coconut shrimp - so good!“
