“Delicious pizza served at the old Whittier post office. There are non-pizza options available as well. Friendly staff are very helpful. The only downside was not seeing more about the building's previous function. That would be a great addition for out of town visitors. I will definitely be returning when I am in town next!“
“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.“
“I met my Best friend from College here after hearing about Amore Pizza, he and I were so impressed with Kelly (Owner) and her hospitality. The food and Brews were flowing and when we got the bill it was well worth the price which wasn't a major dent in our wallet's. The Pizza ingredients and service are Top Notch!!!“
“THIS PLACE IS A MUST SEE. The ambiance of this place is amazing and the reconstruction was done to perfection. I specifically ordered and loved the Pappardelle! It was prepared at our table by Robbie who was so awesome and gave us a detailed description of the whole experience. It was dinner and a show in Whittier!! Amazing!! Brandy was also the best server. I definitely recommend this place to any one looking to have great food and amazing service. I can't recommend this place enough.“
“Good food great customer service this was from awhile ago. The new review goes like this you guys should of never changed they upgraded there building but downgraded there menu it's sad because this use to be really good now i don't see them surviving this change!!! 2 stars just because there customer service is still great besides that I'm sorry but you guys ruined good thing“
“Rude hostess, I mentioned that there was no paper towels in the bathroom, she replied that I should look around before I complained , in our way out, a hostess was arguing with some patrons. Great waiter, salad was great, the salmon was dry and the broccoli just plain. I still like Olive Garden, no matter what !!“
“I was researching places to celebrate my birthday in Whittier and came across The Mission Square. The pictures of the restaurant sold me and I wasn't disappointed. The food was good and service was great. I loved the fresh bread and oil. I ordered the grilled bell peppers and zucchini for an appetizer and made delicious veggie sandwiches out of them. The lobster risotto was delicious and so was their tiramasu. Staff was friendly and attentive. I loved the atmosphere. Such a cute little gem in uptown. I will definitely be back again.“
“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.“
“In the summer of 1975, I was only 14, and already a "Busboy extraordinaire"! My family had just moved from East Los Angeles to Monterey Park, and I started working at the best Italian restaurant on the planet, 'Agostino's'. At first, I thought all the beautiful girls were coming in to see me clear dirty dishes off of dirty tables. I later learned it had something to do with the food. And something to do with the restaurants' proximity to Mark Keppel High School. On top of all that. it was Great pizza at an affordable price. I stayed there charming the clientele for about three years. I met members of the M.P. Police, council members, Mayors, and others. I saw my classmates come in with their families, on dates, and in the banquet room after every major school dance. It was a place where you could go have pizza with friends, and not be embarrassed to run into your parents having a nice dinner. It was the hub of all social life in the San Gabriel Valley. I left the restaurant for college in 1978. In 1980, Agostino ("Gus") and Alicia sold the restaurant and went back to Sicily. I hadn't seen them in almost 50 years. A half century! Well, my fellow Monterey Parklandians (is that even a word?), this past weekend my wife says to me: "Remember your wish to step into 1975 and smell the food at Agostino's again"? She then drove me to this small Italian restaurant in the community of Paramount. Inside ..... were Gus & Alicia. The original owners who gave me my first real job so many years ago. The food was as good OR better than I remembered. Just as fresh too. My wife and I split an antipasto salad, a lasagna, and a pizza. Alicia came over to sit with us, we traded hugs & stories. Alicia is as warm and delightful as I remembered her. We didn't spend too much time with Gus, he was busy. Although I believe Gus is still jealous, because Alicia thinks I'm too handsome. It's a mystery. If you lived in the MP/Alhambra area for any amount of time, you surely enjoyed the authentic Sicilian food from Agostino's. And you'll truly enjoy Gus & Alicia's "Cafe Corleone". I know we'll be going back. CAFE CORLEONE 15337 Paramount Blvd, Paramount, CA (562) 408-6100. Dine-in/Takeout / Delivery“
“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)“
“It's not the best but very good pizzaFuoco pizza tastes better than the fungi pizza. But if you have a chance to go to the city of the mountain view near San Jose. Try Doppio Zero pizza.And they don't know how to make real cafe Latte. Don't order that.“
“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.“
“A cozy, romantic atmosphere, my family and I had a full table to seat us all.Learning about the menu from our server, we all found exactly what we were craving. Even learned the ingredients used to make our dish. Which was amazing, top-notch services.With our order, we all got some soup or salad. The lasagna I ordered was um um umm. My family all were happy with we order and full ready to enjoy our night.Taking home a large pizza for home.“
“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“
“So so glad I got around to trying this place out, the pastas are SO GOOD!! We tried the mentaiko and the squid ink pasta - the flavor profile for both was perfect and the noodles were cooked al dente! The portion size was just right too. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu“
“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.“
“I host a dinner for 17 And was extremely happy with the food and how well we were taking care of. Leonard and his team did an outstanding job. Even though we ordered off the menu all at the same time our food arrived promptly. The last person was served only a few minutes after the first person. Ricci's has been of one of her favourite Italian restaurants for many years. Their prices saw both food and wine are very reasonable. There's plenty of free parking in the back.“
“Upon seeing the monstrous wood fired oven, you know you are in for a serious pizza. We had proscuito and calebrese on one pizza we ordered. Tremendous. Beautiful color, chew and char on a crust that proofs for 36 hours. Thin enough to fold, but sturdy enough to hold up the toppings. So much flavor comes through from the fire and smoke of the oven. You can tell the dude man who was running the front of the house has serious love for the place. Very sincere, very authentic. This is not a whatever pizza joint. Its one of those restaraunts that is more than the sum of its parts. This place has vision and heart and you see it, feel it and taste it.“
“We typically always tend to go there for my in-laws birthdays because they are so close together. We love Mediterranean food and this place really has very good food. They offer different sizes and selections of plates which is a great fit for all of us because we can share or we can get something small if we know we aren't going to finish it or get something larger and take it home to eat again later. The food is always fantastic. I've never had any real issues with it. It's one of my favorite places to go. It's always consistently delicious“
“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.“
“AWESOME PIZZA!!!I'm blown away by the quality of your pizza. I ordered the Medium Veggie and boy was I blown away by the quality of the pizza. To start with the dough is hand spun, making it nice and fluffy but not doughy like many others. Crust and undercarriage was crispy not greasy and cooked perfectly. The sauce was perfect balance of tangy and sweet. Plenty of vegetables and perfectly balanced cheese. If you are looking for a great pizza this is definitely the place. I am a tough person to satisfy when it comes to pizza but this place gets two thumbs up! I'll definitely be back. Also the service is friendly. This place is a hidden gem, so many small pizza places are dissappearing because people settle for cheap, disgusting pizza. I am happy to discover this place! Keep up the great job! Good luck!“
“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.“
“Walked by it for years and only recently tried it. So good. Had a special of white asparagus soup which was delicious. I had their strip which was well prepared. Our server was lovely and great at directing us. Lovely little. Spot. Reservations are strongly recommended.“
“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 ✊???“
“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!“
“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“
“This place is amazing the sandwiches are delicious. “I love the chicken Parmesan sandwich personally “. The cannolis are great, Wine prices are reasonable and really good selection,. The customer service is outstanding, all the individuals are very sweet and kind. I Highly recommend this hidden gem, The food is a true Italian experience.“
“We love the food and the couple that owns the restaurant. They are friendly hard working people.Parking: The parking is in the back. They have about 3 or 4 spots available. But there is free street parking in the front and a free parking lot that is walking distance with plenty of parking spots available usually.Kid-friendliness: They are kid and family friendly. Our kids love the farfalle pasta, and our waitress.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp from the parking lot to the restaurant, great for wheelchairs and strollers. They have enough space in the restaurant to fit with a stroller without being an inconvenience to others.“
“Gluten-free folks...go, run, get yourself an awesome pizza! My husband and I each got a pizza and we were both impressed with quality of crust and quantity of toppings. We will definitely order from them again while in L.A.!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free crust available“
“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 ??“
“Very good food. I had the eggplant Parmesan, and it did not disappoint. It was very good and I would order it again. The side salad was excellent; very tasty and flavorful. The garlic cheese bread was excellent, fresh and warm. My buddy had the meatball spaghetti and he said it was very good. I ordered medium cheese pizza to take home; fresh and delicious. Also, the size was more like an extra large and a medium. And dessert was very good, I got the ice cream. The average plate is about $20 but it’s worth it. I would definitely go back for another meal.Parking: Free parking, but not a lot of parking spaces.“
“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“
“Olive Garden is one of my favorite spots when I'm craving Italian food, especially for their all-you-can-eat salad, which is the best part, in my opinion. This location tends to get very busy during peak hours, so coming earlier is advisable. Making a reservation can also make your experience smoother. I definitely recommend it.“
“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.“
“Good pizza! This place was recommended to me by a friend. Good neighborhood spot but easily overlooked in the little business center on Lambert. It’s right across the street from the In n Out. Worth a stop for pizza n beerKid-friendliness: Kids love pizza ?“
“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.“
“My husband was staying at usc hospital and me and my son would pass by everyday to go to our hotel and one day we stopped and ate an early dinner. The service was exceptional and everyone was really nice and attentive. The Mac and cheese bites were my favorite appetizer!! So good. The pizza I had was really good and my son said his pasta was good. The older gentleman with the accent was really sweet. Under the circumstances that we found this place wasn’t great, but glad we could sit and enjoy a great meal at a great place and people. Thank you!“
“My family & I used to come here every so often throughout the years when I was a kid. I’ve also been here, here & there as an adult but hadn’t been here in years since I don’t live near the area anymore. Anyway, recently I had their Di Pilla’s Special Pizza & it was still pretty good like it was years ago but a little different than before?. I’ve also had their Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken & their simple fresh baked bread as well as their Lasagna in the past which were all really good?. This is a family owned restaurant that’s been around for years & passed on generation after generation.“
“The food here is great- spinach ravioli with pink sauce, a side salad, and garlic bread hit the spot for real, served by people who really care, and enjoy the food as much as you do. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much. The environment is lovely and it's small, but warm, which is often times hard to do. Finding good Italian that is high quality and not too expensive is a feat, but Genoveses does the job.“
“Our dining experience at this Italian restaurant was nothing short of exquisite. Every plate we ordered delivered a burst of delightful flavors, from the heavenly pizza to the savory lasagna. The culinary expertise showcased in each dish truly made it a taste of heaven.Not only did the food impress, but the restaurant itself was impeccably clean, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly, adding a personal touch to our visit. Their hospitality enhanced the overall enjoyment of our meal.We will be returning soon!“
“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.“
“If your a dave portnoy fan then this is the spot for ya. If you truly want a ny style pie..only talking about a cheese pie. As I don't care for toppings. They got that wood fire oven..can't say anything other than quality is the best I've had. Price was relatively low 15$ for a large og cheese. (Comes with 8 large slices)This is the spot if you need that crust and prefer thin crust style. Hands down best go to pizza spot in the sgv. Must tryIf you like chain pizza then idk what to yell you, this pizza is different.“
“Good pizza! I like the cheese and the crust. Solid on the toppings too. I used to love getting their oven baked wings because they are good, but since they increased the price, the value doesn't match the extra cost. Service is hit or miss. Sometimes it's great, and other times, it seems like they'd rather be somewhere else.“
“Danny the owner personally made it his mission to make sure we were all taken care of. We came in with a party of 15 and gave us the best experience. He and the staff were so kind and attentive to what we needed. The food was delicious and would definitely recommend if you’re in the area!“
“A small family owned Italian restaurant that serves great food. Our waitress was also great, very attentive and friendly. If your in Whittier, this should be one of your go to restaurants. If your in the area, stop on by, you wont be disappointed.“
