“This little restaurant situated in the corner of a strip mall is an absolute revelation. It's an unbelievable addition to the area and a must try. We started by ordering a tray of their chipotle chicken fettuccine. It will ruin you for all other places that offer a version of chicken fettuccine. It's beyond good. The chipotle sauce is creamy and has a nice subtle kick. The chicken is grilled perfectly and yet stays moist. The pasta itself has the perfect bite to it. I can't say enough. It's that good. Next up we tried the Italian chopped salad. The salad had no business being that good. I hate salads and this salad converted me instantly. The greens were crispy and fresh and the dressing was to die for. This is one salad you will not regret ordering. We came back the next day and ordered the lasagna. This lasagna does not belong in a restaurant without Michelin stars. It was layer upon layer of cheesy awesomeness with a delicate marinara sauce in between. I can't wait for the day where you can taste pictures because this lasagna blew our mind. We are fat boys so we had to give the Meat Lovers pizza a try. There are no words. The dough has a perfect texture and the cheese melts so good. The toppings were generous and you had a bite of something meaty in every bite. Last, but not least, the bread. We tried the regular bread rolls but there was nothing regular about them. Absolutely fluffy pillows of goodness that were good by themselves or great with any of our pasta dishes. We also had the garlic bread which was maybe the only pedestrian thing about our meal. I prefer my garlic bread a bit more buttered but held up well to the sauces. Finally, the bruschetta. Crispy toast with the freshest tomatoes and dressing. A must have if you have the room. Don't sleep on this spot. It's worth the visit from literally anywhere.“
“Fresh pasta! Really good Italian food around the area with great flavor. Nice ambience! Got the short rib pasta and the shrimp and crab pasta. Great combo! Only thing is don’t get their tiramisu (it was the most average I have ever tasted…plus the owner said the alcohol is “cooked off” and completely safe to consume if you’re pregnant or if there are kids but you can clearly taste it. Go with another dessert option)“
“Absolutely THE BEST authentic pizza I’ve ever eaten! Won’t eat pizza from anywhere else. The salads are amazing as well; we love the Saracena salad -perfect for two to share. The cheese board is a wonderful appetizer- love the Burrata & Buffala cheeses. Our favorite dessert: Spumoni Bomba. You walk in and feel as if you’re in Italy.“
“Was craving for a good italian sub and found this hidden gem near my work! Located across from the hospital. Parking was easy; street and parking lot behind the restaurant. Inside was filled with Italian goodies. They sold alcohol, cookies, bread, pasta, cheese, etc. Towards the back of the restaurant was tables to sit down and enjoy your sandwich. Came here for the 1st time with my coworker and we tried the Classic 6' sub with 2 sides. I got the macaroni salad and broccoli salad. The sides tasted ok to me but could be better. However, the sandwich was very tasty. I love how much meat and filling it was. I ate it all! We got a piece of tiramisu and that was very very good! The prices are affordable and the portions are huge. Definitely a place to go for lunch or anytime you are carving for a good Italian sandwich! *TIP: call to place your order if you are in a time crunch. We waited for 30 minutes for our food.“
“Found this random food truck driving home … looked like a genuine Italian family making these pizzas . They were very nice ! There were people in line before us and after too so it seems pretty popular!! They made the pizza really quickly - made to order ! We ordered the pesto and the margerita pizza . It was a good portion . Fresh and looked pretty ! The flavors were good - it was a nice simple pizza“
“First time here and I have to say, it’s pretty darn good!!! The antipasto salad was loaded with meat and cheese. The garlic bread is very tasty. I had the Chicken Marsala….. It was very good! Everyone was very pleased with their food. Looking forward to trying the pizza next, it looked delicious!!Parking: They have a small parking lot but we had no trouble finding a spot.Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn’t love spaghetti, pasta and pizza??!! Bring them, they will love it!“
“This is a great place to get some Italian food. The inside is comfortable and the lighting is perfect for a date night.The most important thing I would say is to get here early. This place gets full quickly. They open for a limited amount of hours. The service is always great, the wait staff is courteous, patient, and helpful.“
“This place is a gem! Outstanding Italian food and excellent service. The mussels with white sauce were incredibly flavorful and unique. I also had the Fettucini Florentine which was fresh, perfectly balanced and simply delicious. I want to try everything on the menu. Cocktails were also well-balanced and refreshing.“
“SOLID pasta. Had the parpadelle vodka on my most recent visit but had others in the past and they were all great. I wouldn't mind if the prosciutto with the parpadelle wasnt crispy.The tables are quite small and you have to be ok with dining close quarters. Service was adequate and friendly. Wish they had a couple beers on tap but didnt take away much from the dining experience“
“One of the best Italian restaurant. One of Orange County’s hidden gem. Delicious Italian food, Good service and beautiful restaurant. We love it!!! I highly recommend them. My favorites are their bread, fettuccini Alfredo and best spaghetti bolognese . They also give you generous proportion. Really must try!!!Vegetarian options: There’s vegetarian choicesKid-friendliness: Kids will love the food“
“Super friendly employees. I had a big order for my husbands birthday and it was ready really quickly. We had a XL pepperoni and my family loved how fluffy the crust was and how cheese it was. We also had the potatoes and some wings. Potatoes weren't too crispy nor soggy. They were made perfect for little kids. The wings were crispy and had a lot of sauce so they weren't dry. Highly recommend this place.“
“Great little pizza place with fast lunch service. Pizza was good, price was right, and the store is clean. They accidentally overcharged me by $0.50, which they realized when they gave me my slices, and immediately offered a cash refund. No need since they deserved that as additional tip.“
“I love the olive pit! I have had my fair share of Mediterranean and greek food over my lifetime and this place is different, in a good way! The flavors are fresh and so delicious...there is literally nothing i have had here that i didnt like. I loved olive pit so much i came here 2x in 3 days!! Their hummus is amazing, their salads are vibrant and huge, and their lamb and chicken are seasoned to perfection. What are you waiting for?! Come here and indulge! Sadly i live out lf state and only get to come here 1-2x year.“
“One of my absolute favorite places to go with an incredible menu full of choices from an array of wraps,salads,bowls and classic dishes all great combinations and flavor with a health flare for everyone -gluten free dishes- vegan-vegetarian-dairy free. The "strawberry sensation salad" is my favorite with the house lemonade and I always order their house made black bean hummus dip with chips for $0.54 cents.“
“Best pizza since I was a child. Moved out of town but can't help to make a pit stop every time I'm near! They sell pizza by the slice and their sandwiches are just as bomb. Thank you for still existing Scardino's you are a neighborhood staple ✊???“
“My go-to place for Italian subs. ??I announce the motocross races here in Southern California and I always have to have Claro's up in the tower when I'm on the mic. ??I get the spicy Mike large and I have them swap out the ghost pepper jack with manchego cuz I'm digging sheep and goat cheese right now. It's fantastic either way. ??There's plenty of parking at this location and they're not stingy with the portions. The staff is extremely friendly and they have lots of goodies in the market to browse and try. Today I brought home an Italian artisan beer and I have to say it is fantastic. Mastri Birrai Umbri IPA. ?Ask for Kathy, Paloma, or Cecilia (aka Cici). ??“
“This is the best pizza in Fullerton. If you're local and have no tried it you're missing out. Parking is weird but don't let it discourage you. I ordered a margarita with sauce and mushrooms and was blown away. Savory sauce tart and salty cheese in all the best ways“
“Just had my engagement dinner here and it was absolutely amazing. Everyone loved the food, and they were beyond satisfied with the customer service because our waiters were so attentive and kind. I thought having a big party would cause an issue but they were on top of everything. Cosmo was very kind and helpful with everything from establishing a menu, to making sure the guests were taken care of. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.“
“Idk how long this location has been opened, but I just found out, while searching for uni pasta closer to me, that my favorite uni pasta has a 2nd location!!! ? Now I don't gotta drive all the way to Little Tokyo for it. This location is only about 20min (with no traffic ?) from me in the OC!!! Their uni pasta is the best & so is this other dish that my hubby ordered (forgot the name, but it's a bolognese beef stew kind of sauce...it was one of their special item). Also tried a couple of the other appetizers. Pretty good too. Fyi, we've only been their LT location so far. Can't wait to try this one out soon!“
“First time ever here. Very impressed, doesn’t look like much on the outside, just wait until you experience the expert service and delicious Italian cuisine. Came here with a friend for dinner, ordered the Penne Vodka and Cabanara. Don’t forget the Tiramisu! Five stars plus!!“
“First time here. Found this gem off Yelp and it did not disappoint! The owner knows how to serve delicious food! I was craving breakfast and my French toast combo was excellent! My son had the crispy chicken waffle sandwich and it looked great and he said it was really good. My daughter in love had the biscuits and gravy and I tried it as well -so flavorful!!! So do yourselves a favor and pay patronage to this local establishment! For those that remember the movie "Blood in, Blood out" he has a lot of movie memorabilia as decor so that was pretty cool as well!“
“We’ve been coming here for years and they haven’t disappointed us. This place is a hidden gem and their food is really delicious. My favorites are their spaghetti with meatballs and chicken fettuccini alfredo( the best I ever tasted). The ambiance is very nice and service is excellent.I highly recommend them. Authentic Italian food!!!“
“This place is one of the very best family restaurants in the region! Their ambience is fun-spirited, their nostalgic decor is museum-grade quality, their dishes are delicious, their prices are fair, and their service staff, especially Matteo, was PERFECT! Some of the best service we’ve experienced in a very long time!“
“Food is great and service is too! We had my daughter's Birthday dinner there for the fourth time. It is one of her favorite places. Actually it is our favorite Italian Restaurant. I love their pesto and eggplant parm! Their bread with olive oil and vinegar is dangerous!!! I also love the house salad with ranch and Italian!!! Yummy!!! They have catered our family parties too!“
“RCP FTW! Brian is the most down to earth pizza shop owner you will meet. His crew's creation for different pizzas are limitless. Stay for the pie while you browse around at their artwork on the walls from local artists.Parking: Lots of parking“
“Went to Giovanni's to celebrate my wife's birthday. Decided to keep it local and came here for the 1st time. We really enjoyed the food and service here, the lobster ravioli was delicious, the clam linguine was good too! Our server was great and the atmosphere was relaxed and quiet. If your in downtown Covina this place is a gem. Definitely recommend Giovanni's for a nice dinner. Btw the cocktails were ??“
“Friday night dinner out and we ordered the following: Garlic bread with mozzarella: 4/5 Side Greek salad: 5/5 Side house salad: 4/5 (the house Italian was more olive oil than vinaigrette) Pasta w/creamy pesto: 5/5 Lasagna: 5/5 (though the sauce is a tad bitter, but I like it that way)“
“Pizza is some of the best. The Tandoori pizza is a must try. Delicious, spicy and unique. Crust is nice and crunchy. The buffalo chicken pizza is perfect for dipping in blue cheese. And my toddler says the cheese is the best pizza they have tried. Wings were good but not the star of the show. Server was very nice and attentive although she was pretty busy when we first got in. I’m not a local and very glad I stopped in to try this pizza!!!!!Parking: Free parkingKid-friendliness: An arcade and seating not at the bar“
“Love the pizza here so much. The ingredients are always fresh. Dough is nice and well made. I love the veggie selection. Lots to choose from. I go with three types of cheese; mozzarella, ricotta, and feta. Friendly family owned place with a great atmosphere.“
“OMG! I love their lasagna. I have not had a lasagna so good since I don't know when. I don't eat sandwiches but my family did, and the turkey and pastrami looked rather tasty. Bread was fresh and crusty but not crumbly. The service was fast even though it was pretty busy. I will be heading back to hoard up my freezer with their lasagna. And to try their pizza.“
“The best Italian food I have ever had! I really like the mixed seafood Italian style pasta. The Service has gotten much better, and the desserts ?are good to! I highly recommend this restaurant for a nice lunch with the family or a romantic dinner with your ? date. If you go for Valentine's day ? I highly recommend a reservation.“
“The atmosphere and service was at the top. We went to watch my nieces's band play and the setting was family-oriented. Our server was great and attentive.The food was good in dining. We have been here before but just for take out usually via my in-laws.We will definitely be back.“
“Chilly night post Chicago musical at the high school. Hot lasagna, chicken alfredo pasta & comp garlic-cheese bread were just what us two needed to comfort & warm us before our late drive home.Pasta light on salt, needed (herb) seasoning and using tender, grilled chicken instead would earn a gastro star.Robust owner (entrepreneur!) very friendly, great service. Wish we had one by Cypress & Goldenwest College.Thank you for the experience!“
“***Update *** I saved the leftover slices from my party. Wrapped them in foil individually and put them in a freezer bag. Completely forgot but TODAY I didn't feel like cooking...snooping around the kitchen for something easy to fix aaaannnnnd boom! So happy I was lol. Anywho, I popped them in the airfry for 5 minutes on 350 aaaannddd booooom! Dinner done and it was just a delicious. Gonna go back for another round.“
“I've been enjoying the food, and the great service at Vinny's Italian Restaurant for almost 7 years now. And when I share that all the food is the best Italian food on the West Coast, that's exactly what it is. From the home made Pasta dishes, to the home made Soups, it's all good ??“
“We have lived in West Covina for 8 years, every time we would go to Weinerschnitzel we would say let's try this place.. why did we wait so long!!!... we ordered the pesto chicken sandwich, bread tasted so fresh, pesto was delicious!, the margarita pizza was the best pizza I've had in a long time, and the Cobb salad was great! but the best part, we didn't know we could call ahead, so we were in the drive thru line quite a while, the person opened the window and gave each of us a salad and roll while we waited!... it was the avocado chicken salad!... it was delicious! This will be our go to place for Italian to go and the prices were very reasonable! Again why did we wait so long! Don't pass this place up!“
“Hole in the wall kind of place that's been there for a long time. Solid old school Italian food and menu selection. The meat sauce is very good and the garlic knots are delicious. Reasonably priced for quantity and quality especially in today's economy.“
“A good friend and I decided to have dinner here. I have to tell you, since the pandemic, I have slowly been going back to old favorites, and this is one of them. I really looked forward to trying this place again. Would it be the same? Would it be better, or worse? Well I have to say that they did not disappoint. I don't know if I missed coming here or if they just got that much better, but it was good!We definitely got there just in time because once we were seated, the place started getting very busy.The service was great in spite of how busy it got. George was our server and he was very helpful and accomidateing. Needless to say that what we ordered was outstanding.I definitely forgot how much I enjoyed this place. No question on whether or not I'm coming back because that's a big yes.Parking: Plenty of parking. No problem finding a spot.“
“My wife and I love this restaurant. The gluten free pasta is her favorite of any place she's been and the servers are so friendly. The gluten free pizza is awesome too. You really can't go wrong with anything on.The atmosphere is so calm and beautiful. Literally nothing I've eaten their has disappointed me.“
“my absolute favorite local pizza place! The pizza here is SO good - not oily at all, super fresh, and huge portions. The wings are also crispy and flavorful. The meatball sub is HUGE and the meat sauce is DIVINEEEE- you can tell everything is made fresh to order here and the owners really care about the quality of what they make and keeping their customers happy. 5/5 we love you marco polo pizza!!!!“
“Came here yesterday for happy hour with friends. Place is a hidden gem... Plenty of seats available, televisions to watch games, mixed music selection. They have a pool table and karaoke room. Plenty of drinks options or bartender was awesome. The asada fries, garlic fries, wings and Brussel sprouts were delicious. Will be back...“
“Nice neighborhood Italian deli and fast casual restaurant. Really missed the original Lascari's on Whittier Blvd so we gave this deli location a try. Was surprised at the pasta and pizza options. The pasta dishes and chicken piccata were all pretty good. The minestrone soup is excellent. Pizza was also delicious. Large selection at the Deli. Great local place for a quick bite with reasonable prices.“
“Food was incredible but it was a considerable wait time to receive our food and checks, the lighting is pretty bad too we thought it was just use but when we kept looking around throughput the night everyone was using their phone flashlights to look at the menu. I grew up in SGV and had never been here but will definitely come back and bring my parents.“
“Been going to Luigi's for the past 35 years. And though most of these reviews are raves for Luigi's great calamari, we've been coming regularly to ensure that our friendship with Luigi and Graziella remain strong. Hopefully, they will open a new restaurant a sit down restaurant which is really their forte. I almost said bread and butter, but the bread and butter is really good too. It's fresh there, but we want them to as close as possible so that we can sustain the Paisan love for the next quarter century. See you soon, brother.!“
“I placed my order online. Not knowing i made a huge mistake on the toppings. Someone from Papa Pizza was kind enough to call me and ask me if it was correct. I really appreciated that.We were off to a great start.My orderXL Pepperoni Pizza - 10/10Onion Rings - 8/10Garlic Bread - 8.5/10Cajun Fries - 10/10This was my first time visiting here.I cannot wait to go back.Thank you for the A+ service.“
“Wheelchair accessibility: There is only one wheelchair/Van accessible space, and be aware that the shop is tiny as it is, the turn to get into the store is very tight off the ramp, and the door is relatively narrow, but a wheelchair, my standard wheelchair does fit through the door, and I'm the one pushing.“
“The pizza is good quality ingredients, you can tell by just looking at it and by the taste. I always get meat lovers cuz the meatballs taste like someone actually made them instead of being bought. Aidan was super nice and helpful, we will be “
“Excellent excellent excellent!! I was greeted with a warm welcome from the owners and workers! I got a slice of pizza with a side of garlic bread that tasted amazing! Ranch in a cup was 50 cents and was covered on the house! Highly recommend!“
“2nd time ordering from Papa Pizza Pie for Superbowl Sunday. The place was overwhelmed with orders and drivers waiting for pickup. They handled the situation well with decent communication but did have to wait an extra ~30 mins to receive my pre-order from the night before. Pizza was good, Buffalo wings came dry with no seasoning (not sure if this was an error in the Slice app that I used to order as preferred method from their website) and French fries were flavorless. Our previous experience was fantastic with great tasting food and value as my brother-in-law said it was probably the best vegan pizza he's ever tasted. Hoping this was a one time glitch and we'll give them another try in the future but will likely just stick with the pizza.“
“Tucked away in the back corner of a strip mall in Hacienda Heights. This neighborhood gem Italian deli doesn't occupy a large space, but the space feels really efficient with a full service deli on one side and the other side having a place to order sandwiches/ prepared Italian foods with an area to sit. Like most Italian delis I've been to, this place sells a decent variety of market/ dry goods well. The prices here for the foods/ goods are more than reasonable and the overall place has that old school feel or at least the feel that this place has been here for quite a while. Came here on a rec from a coworker. Not sure if I was super hungry at the time, but I walked in greeted by friendly people and delicious smells coming from their hot dishes/ pastas. I ordered the Italian Grinder Sandwich (6 inch or regular size). Again, not sure if I was just particularly hungry at the time, but this sandwich was so fricken great. It had the classic Italian sub flavor profile and I though the bread they used was fantastic. Nice, soft and chewy with a nice firmness/crunch on the outside. The sandwich was more than enough. I actually was really tempted to buy some of the prepared pasta dishes to go for dinner (lasagna or baked rigatoni). Definitely would love to comeback to try some of my other classic fave sandwiches like chicken or eggplant parm. Or their Tuesday Guido sandwich special or pastrami sandwich. Parking was really easy to find because there is a pretty sizable lot relative to the traffic this place gets during the day.“
