Domenico's on the Lake 27782 Vista Del Lago, Mission Viejo Pizza • $$

“Had a nice evening at Dominicos on the lake this evening. My wife and I had reservations and were fortunate to ask Kory for a patio table which he accommodated. Michael took us to our table and was very kind and professional. Pedro came by with our bread and water and said hello. He is one of the hardest working individuals at the restaurant. Eddie our server came by and took our orders with a bottle of Austin Hope and bread to start. My wife ordered a chicken breast salad and I had the chef's special stroganoff which was amazing. Unfortunately my wife's salad came out 30 minutes after my stroganoff which was a cardinal sin in the restaurant business and we mentioned it was not acceptable. Eddie apologized and we also had Steven, the GM, come by and also apologize and ensure the salad would be out shortly. The salad was delivered, of course after I ate my entree and Steven dropped off and apologetic gift certificate for an appetizer during our next visit. We also ordered an additional beef stroganoff plus an order of meatballs to take home for tomorrow. We undertake things happen and it's certainly nice to see the restaurants busy again but a party of two receiving their entrees 30 minutes apart is not conducive with quality service. I am guessing the chef either misplaced the order or overlooked the obvious and we hope next time we will not have such issues as the restaurant is very good and in a fantastic location. Michael also came back around and stated he was concerned about this mishap and would look into this. As a retired government administrator and former restaurant manager in my college days I expect the simple things like entrees being delivered at the same time to be in sync with quality service and dining. We will be back and see if in fact this was an isolated incident. Good food and ambiance plus. As a writer for Trip Advisor, Yelp and Google I am graceful in my comments and specific in areas needed improvement. Thanks you.”

Delizie Ristorante 25380 Marguerite Pkwy, Mission Viejo Italian • $$

“I stumbled upon this delightful Italian restaurant while visiting the area, and I’m so glad I did! It can be a challenge to find a truly great Italian spot in the Valley or I.E., but this place exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the service was outstanding. The maître d, manager, head waiter (all in one)—was attentive and engaging, checking in on us throughout our meal. It felt more like a warm, family-run establishment than a typical restaurant, with staff and regular patrons sharing hugs and laughter.
The complimentary salsa served with the bread was an interesting twist—I appreciated the cucumber base, but being a traditionalist, I usually prefer simply good olive oil and balsamic vinegar. At first, I thought it was pesto, but it had a unique flavor that prompted us to inquire about its ingredients.
While the food was delicious, I did feel that the portions could have been a bit larger for the price, and the salsa accompaniment with the calamari didn’t quite hit the mark for me. However, the true star of the meal was the sauce—it was absolutely fantastic, with no complaints whatsoever.
Overall, I had a lovely experience with great service, a warm ambiance, and delicious food. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you’re in town!”

“Reem went above and beyond to help me with my order! Everyone was super friendly. The place was super clean. There were so many options to choose from and everything looked amazing. My CO workers love this place so I finally tried it today. Everything is made fresh. My order came out fast. There's a screen for placing your order if you don't want to wait in line. There wasn't a long line when I went in. I ordered the hippy wrap with sweet potato, a side of pesto pasta and a pineapple cream soda! It was delicious! This is now my new favorite place! I will definitely be coming back and bringing friends and family!

Vegetarian options: They had so many vegetarian options to choose from. Lots of sweet potato, roasted potatoes, corn on cob, pesto pasta, salads, fries and more!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. It's situated right in front of an awesome park with splash pad and carousel within view.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is enough room to navigate a stroller or wheelchair through the door and inside the restaurant.”

“If I could give 10 stars they would get it! I rarely go online to write a review, and if I do it’s because I had a horrible experience. I wrote a positive review maybe twice in my life here’s my third. Start with the cashier, I really can’t say I ever had anyone serve me with a better attitude than the guy who helped me and I say right by the register and he kept that amazing attitude with all customers. At first I had 3 chicken tacos from the taco Tuesday deal (which I might say isn’t cheap, but quality costs) which were surprisingly good because I don’t love shredded chicken. The chicken was so good I decided to get an asada one as well just to make sure they really are as good as it seems. They crushed it, asada taco came to over 7$ after taxes and it glad to say I’ll be happy to pay that price anytime anywhere to get that same taco!”

The individual ingredients are superior quality and spiciness levels are accurate to the requested amount. I prefer very low spice in order to taste each natural flavor. The Boba Tea bar is a newer addition and the drinks are decorative and well mixed- especially the Taro Milk Tea. This restaurant is part of my weekly dining out ritual.”

Great place for families with kids who can play inside at arcade setup within the restaurant! oh yeah what more could one ask with football live streaming and delicious breakfast to dinner menu with happy hours?! place is LIT! 🔥

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian delight and l BYO (Build your own) option with many vegetables ingredients. Their margherita pizza is soooo good! Must try! They also have Gluten free base.

Parking: It’s by the Ralphs store, very huge parking lot and easy to find a parking spot and dine in and get groceries from Ralph’s.

Kid-friendliness: Our kids love this place! Huge arcade inside for them to stay entertained and the best part is arcade is not in isolated place/dark room walls. So kids can play while you can watch them without getting up from your tables and while eating. They have atleast 7 game machines (or more) for kids.”

“My first love is ice cream.. but key lime pie is my second. And how amazing to find a key lime pie that's like a combo of the two!! Perfectly sweet with just the the amount of tang, and a cool firm texture that will actually amaze you on the first bite. And that doesn't even mention their cookies... of almost every type. My 6-yr-old will forego any other dessert for their cookies. And, frankly, they have the best fruit pies around. The crust, the filling... these people care about every last detail. Go get one.

Kid-friendliness: Best cookies ever.”

“A wonderful find. My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience at Sabatinos Italian Bistro this evening. Our server Frederico was professional and quite personable. We started our dinner with two glasses of wine and the bruchetta. The Talbot Chardonnay and the Dry Creek Cabernet were both excellent choices. My wife ordered the eggplant gnocchi, which she loved, and I had the sausage and pepper rigatoni. Both dishes were excellent. The service, food, and ambiance were quite authentic and enjoyable. We spoke with Frederico, who is the ultimate professional, and decided to order a side of meatballs to go as well. This was our first time at Sabatinos, and this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Ask for Frederico as he is the ultimate professional. Highly Recommended.”

Domenico's on the Lake 27782 Vista Del Lago, Mission Viejo Restaurant • $$

“Had a nice evening at Dominicos on the lake this evening. My wife and I had reservations and were fortunate to ask Kory for a patio table which he accommodated. Michael took us to our table and was very kind and professional. Pedro came by with our bread and water and said hello. He is one of the hardest working individuals at the restaurant. Eddie our server came by and took our orders with a bottle of Austin Hope and bread to start. My wife ordered a chicken breast salad and I had the chef's special stroganoff which was amazing. Unfortunately my wife's salad came out 30 minutes after my stroganoff which was a cardinal sin in the restaurant business and we mentioned it was not acceptable. Eddie apologized and we also had Steven, the GM, come by and also apologize and ensure the salad would be out shortly. The salad was delivered, of course after I ate my entree and Steven dropped off and apologetic gift certificate for an appetizer during our next visit. We also ordered an additional beef stroganoff plus an order of meatballs to take home for tomorrow. We undertake things happen and it's certainly nice to see the restaurants busy again but a party of two receiving their entrees 30 minutes apart is not conducive with quality service. I am guessing the chef either misplaced the order or overlooked the obvious and we hope next time we will not have such issues as the restaurant is very good and in a fantastic location. Michael also came back around and stated he was concerned about this mishap and would look into this. As a retired government administrator and former restaurant manager in my college days I expect the simple things like entrees being delivered at the same time to be in sync with quality service and dining. We will be back and see if in fact this was an isolated incident. Good food and ambiance plus. As a writer for Trip Advisor, Yelp and Google I am graceful in my comments and specific in areas needed improvement. Thanks you.”

There wasn't a long line when I went in. I ordered the hippy wrap with sweet potato, a side of pesto pasta and a pineapple cream soda! It was delicious! This is now my new favorite place! I will definitely be coming back and bringing friends and family!

Vegetarian options: They had so many vegetarian options to choose from. Lots of sweet potato, roasted potatoes, corn on cob, pesto pasta, salads, fries and more!
