“My second time visiting this great establishment. Once again, the pizza and all that they serve is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! I had some caprese , burata, Fior Di Latte and the Vespa Pizza along with a Limonata Rosa. Our Service Yadira was amazing and very attentive. She was very helpful with any questions we had. Thank you Yadira and all the staff at Fuoco. Definitely my favorite Pizza!!! See you soon!“

“Great food and a wonderful experience.“

“This is a solid Italian restaurant with many options. You order at the front counter, but they bring the food to you. I like their Mediterranean chicken with spaghetti squash, as it's healthier. Their chocker or eggplant parmesan are great, too.“

“Work dinner.
The bread sticks make an unique appearance with it’s softness and flavor.
Simple Cesar salad, and the lemon cake was ok.
Loved the ravioli with spinach and the ricotta bathed in a light tomato vodka cream sauce.
My entree was the boneless beef rib cooked thoroughly with perfect sauce, accompanied by nicely cooked asparagus and mashed potato, which was very pleasing and hearty.“

“Simply over the top! That’s a wrap“

“I am Italian and Greek, and this is by far the best food, service, ownership and overall experience I have ever had in a restaurant in CA. I have been here almost 30 years.“

“I had forgotten why I haven't been here for a while. The problem a lot of people have is it is so dark and dingy inside. So annoying having to get phones out to read the menu. The fairy lights are cute and romantic but can you not put a candle or lamps on the tables so we can see what we're ordering and what we're eating please. I had the pasta less chicken dish which I've had before. The chicken was very dry this time and the meal could do with extra sauce on it. It's a shame because this place is good and the staff are okay. Our group of 8 Will come back again when the electric bill has been paid .“

“My husband and I came to Disneyland for our anniversary. We were looking for a place near our hotel and this did not disappoint. The atmosphere was fabulous and serving staff was great. Our food was AMAZING and we had soo much. We brought food back to the hotel and they gave us plates to take with us. Definitely one of our new favorites and will be coming back when we visit“

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

“Absolutely love the food but it is the people that make this an exceptional fabulous dining experience!“

“Five Stars for having Angel Hair Pasta on the menu! Meat sauce marinara or, Bollinese!
It's what they do often, that's good. However, the Chicken Marsala was off. :More training needed in the kitchen. The Lasagna was cold on the inside, and had a strange flavor about it that I'm not familiar with. And, it had Spinach in it. I thought that too was... different. Not particularly appealing, to me. Your pro tip is to; tell them how you like your pasta cooked. I like mine well done. Super soft and luxurious. Love that. Best of luck Renato's. Hope you're around for another 44 plus years!“

The fresh baked bread was also really good. The dining room has a warm and welcoming feel and the staff was friendly and attentive. Everything came out fresh and tasty. Definitely a place I would visit again.“

Very tasty, great sauce lot of chicken, very cheesy and flavorful, awesome crust. We can't wait to go back and try something else. I definitely recommend it“

“Great food and service and prices“

“This restaurant is located in a shopping plaza at the corner of Birch Street and Kraemer Blvd in Brea. Parking was easy on a Monday evening. We did not need reservations and were seated promptly on arrival as it was pretty empty. The service was overall good. Our waiter checked in on us multiple times and was attentive. The complimentary bread and garlic butter was great, but the rest of the food was fine, honestly nothing special. Our pastas were on the oilier side and salty, but the portion sizes are huge.“

“been ordering for 4 yrs love there menu good prices happy they deliver“

“Most comprehensive selection of reasonably priced imported cheeses. The service at the deli counter in the market has been amazing both times I've shopped in the market. Yes, I drive 15 miles for their selection when making fine Italian food 🇮🇹“

“Where the Conca’d Oro tradition continues with all the same recipes from their recently closed location in Orange.. Frank and the girls exceeded our expectations tonight with the antipasto salad, garlic bread 🥖 lasagna and topped off with tiramisu 🌰🍷🍷😎✔️😍“

“The service is always great. Running between appointments, I call my order in from the car. when I get there, my table is waiting with my salad and basket of bread. My fettucine alfredo followed in 5 min. and was delicious! Had delicious meal instead of some cheap fast food and was able to make it to next appointment in plenty if time. Been coming here for 2 decades. Always good.“

“Truly a hidden gem. Several levels of dining space combined with the big fireplace gives the restaurant a unique ambiance. The food was superb, incredible pasta. There was a live pianist playing that made the evening even more memorable. As it often happens with places like this, service was impeccable.“

“I m hear just to rate the ice cream ! We ve had dinner already when we stumble over the new restaurant at Orange circle !!

The young lady wha helped us mention the ice cream is imported from Italy!!! Same the tire same creaminess same taste I experienced in Florence !!! If I graded I would say it was 10 +++.“

“Food A- Service B+ Value/Pricing B Atmosphere C+ large screen TVs and Oldies music?! This is not a Sports bar.Too much background noise.?“

“Had the Pestopalooza on a recommendation ans it didn't disappoint!“

“The lasagna was so creamy, best I've tasted in a long time. Salad was so fresh you could taste each ingredient, simply incredible. the pizza was just like home - in from NewYork. so appreciated. Bar was the topper. I'M IN LUV! :')“

“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!“

“I had the Pasta Pomodora and it was outstanding.!Their BBQ Chicken Pizza great as well as their Taste of Italy! We will be returning!“

“I like the lunch special. The price is very reasonable. The food is good and so is the service. They give you a good portion too. it's a small, but cozy place. This was my first time there. It's fairly close to my house. The guy that served me was Chris and he was very nice and friendly. I will recommend this place to my family and friends. I look forward to coming back and trying other dishes.“
