10 Best Italian Restaurants in Oceanside

“Words really cannot express what a perfect setting La Parma III Italian Restaurant was for our family.
I was trying to plan a luncheon to take place after a funeral remotely from San Diego, CA, and had nothing to go on other than a recommendation from the funeral home
I called and spoke to Guido on a Friday and the lunch was being planned for the upcoming Tuesday 8-27th a few days later.
Being in the catering business myself and immediately hearing "no problem" we can do it all, was simply music to my ears. Guido said he would not be in on that Sunday when I wanted to come check it out in person but gladly provided me with the Managers name that would be available that day to meet. When I arrived at the restaurant, I met Richie, and he could not have been more helpful in confirming everything that I had expected to happen.
Not only did they have us set up in a beautiful room with everything ready to go but both Guido and Richie were there during the lunch and worked the entire event in coordination with their amazing team. From the initial contact over the phone, all the way to the completion of the lunch we could not be happier with how professional and accommodating the people at La Parma III were, especially considering we had just lost our loved one. We would call them again for this or any other meal we needed to be catered. In summary, the food and service were five stars, A+, or whatever is the best grade possible!“

“Meta always goes above and beyond for a fabulous dining experience. This past Sunday, I called to see if it was possible to bring in an Elvis impersonator for my Dad who is in remission from cancer. Not only was Roberto and his staff receptive to the idea, the whole restaurant was singing along with Elvis and all of us. This night was truly magical and I cannot thank Roberto and his staff enough for making my Dad’s dining experience so memorable. The food was amazing, the drinks were flowing and the dessert was delicious. If you haven’t tried Meta, I highly recommend this fine restaurant for a wonderful night 🎉“

“1 thing that is true... compared to the rest of the country New York Has the Best Pizza. When being in New York However; we get picky of who has good Pizza.... this place, great Pizza ! I ask for well done every where and it's what I get here... all the other food that comes along with an Italian Pizzaria Restaurant is extremely satisfying... I don't just recommend it, I'm here right now and will be back over and over again.“

“Honestly, it's my favorite place. They are so attentive and work with any questions or concerns you might have. I have gotten takeout and have dined in both, which have been amazing. If you want to eat there, ask for Kenia, a lovely waitress who cares about her customers. If you are looking for an appetizer, get the fried calamari. They make it just right. Some places make it too crispy or chewy, but I have never had that happen here. If you are looking for a panini, I would recommend the Asti. It is not on the menu, but you can still order it. As for dessert, GET THE FLAN!!! It has a fantastic taste and the perfect texture, which so many places go wrong with.“

“The food is always excellent. The portions are perfect for the money.“

“Will never go back to this small uncomfortable place. Owner knows nothing about accommodating her customers. We had the worst table and asked to move when 1/2 the place was empty and we were told we were lucky to eat there. Nasty owner!!! Portions are small and overpriced.“

“Ordered for the first time this week, definitely will be a repeat customer! Not only was the food delicious, the price was right! These days to feed a family of 5 for delivery, it's extremely rare to spend under $100. Not just great food at amazing prices, but the wait was under 40 minutes! Great experience all around. Thanks Mario's!“

“We ordered pasta it was delicious but I can't figure out why bread does not come with it I've never been to an Italian restaurant with bread is not put on the table before the pasta even comes everything else was great just don't understand why no bread“

“Great local place. They have the best white pizza around!“

“Hands down thee best Pizza Place around!! Their personal pies are unbelievable…regular slice on the go is to die for and the dinners are second to none. Frank and the crew are amazing…deliveries are always on time or earlier…..you can’t find a better pizza place. 5 ?“
