All you can eat soup and salad for lunch is a good choice for this restaurant. Italian pasta dishes are just average. We like the Toscana soup. You also get freshly made bread sticks that are tasty. Usually very crowded, so you might have to wait to be seated. Good Service.

Ave 3 Pizza is one of those local pizza places, the ones that you love to go to when you're looking for casual eats.I've been here many times for lunch, or a quick dinner, and haven't been disappointed once. I typically order the Pizza Sub, but really, I would recommend anything on the menu. It's served piping hot, fresh, and always tasty.One word of warning is that their dining room is a bit small, and so if you come in while they're having a busy evening, it can feel a little crammed. Also, I think the sauce they use could be a little zestier, but that may be more my taste than anything. And it's still definitely better than chain pizza!

whenever we have a craving for good Italian we order take out from Frantones. The pizza, pasta and especially the great antipasto salad are always delicious......We conducted our own little test and determined that Frantones antipasto salad beats everyone elses.Their homemade sauce...and meatballs are the best! We have even ordered out for big family dinners and everything has been perfect.

Romano's is a very nice eatery. There is something for everyone and the food is quite good. The service is great. Romano's is conveniently located near the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. You can get a pretty fast dinner there and get to your performance on time.Romano's has comfortable seating and a nice wine list. We loved the shrimp scampi. All of the pasta dishes are very good. I wish they made their own pasta. I don't think they do. It would be 5 stars if they did.The service is just great. If you are in a rush, just let them know and they will get you order started right away. You can also relax and have a nice, peaceful night with family and friends. Enjoy.

We were on vacation and found this place on yelp. What a great surprise! I've been to a few "make your own pizza" places before in Hawaii, Cali, and Virginia but this place was the best by far. I'm not sure if it's the sauce or what, but it was so much tastier than the others I've had in the past. My picky kids loved it too, even if it only had cheese and sauce! We would definitely go again when in the area. Totally recommend!

I've been to La Tavolata twice, both times while in the area on business. It's a small, cozy very inviting place. The fresh pasta is outstanding and, astonishingly, most pasta entrees are around $15. The salads are fresh and large and when we were discussing sharing a salad, the server offered to split it for us. I've had the spaghetti with the rich, hearty Bolognese sauce and a spaghetti with meatballs special (I adore good meatballs) and would happily have both again. As other reviews have mentioned, the toasted buttery garlic bread and the toasted bread with tomatoes and cheese are both killer. Service is warm and friendly and staff genuinely seem happy to be there. You can see cooks working the stove and preparing the plates towards the back of the restaurant. It does get crowded so go early or make a reservation.

After tasting great pastas during visits to Italy and New York, itâs gratifying to rediscover this unpretentious neighborhood restaurant that serves high caliber, authentic Italian food. It has now been expanded & remodeled to include a new bar and patio tables. The interior is vibrant and cheerful, with a color painting of an idyllic coastal village on an entire wall. Our friends brought a bottle of an excellent wine to kick off a nice evening (corkage $15!). The French onion pizza was done just right, sumptuous and satisfying. Our individual pasta creations (Alla Checca, Arrabbiata, and Basil Pesto) served with garden salads were nicely done and portioned. While the basil pesto sauce was richly creamy & flavorful, the linguine was a tad less al dente than I like. Prices of these creations with add-one ran around $20. Service was very attentive. We will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Well it is Saturday afternoon 3:00 p.m. Our friends had open table reservations for two, and then immediately called A'Roma to make it for four of us. The gentleman on the phone said no problem, we can accommodate you. When we arrived at the hostess desk, there was only the open table for two, not four. The restaurant was already full, so the best she could offer was the bar. We did not want to, but really, what choice do you have at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday night in Orange County? The restaurant looked really nice, white table clothes, good cutlery and glassware. We felt defeated, but we were hungry. We sat in the bar with no tablecloth, but had really good service by bar, server and bus personnel. we ordered and appetizer of bruschetta and it was minus the umami factor, but nice toast and well seasoned topper. My friend, Brian, had the osso bucco loved it. My friend, Michele, had the Filet Mignon medallions in a lovely sauce. She upped the salad to Caesar which the waiter has said was a $2.00 charge and asked if she wanted anchovies with it. YES. So, in additional $2.50 for salad upgrade and $2.50 upgrade for 4 small anchovies. (WOW). My husband ordered the fra dilvolo shrimp and upgraded to soup for $2.50. I had the shrimp with fetticini and it was very forgettable. Nothing BAD, just nothing good. We rarely get around to more than sharing a dessert, but all of us felt we could eat more (unfulfilled). Two ice creams with expresso (fine), one cheesecake soufflé (good) and one crème brulee. grainy. We did order cocktails, two glasses of wine, and then another bottle with dinner. The waiter did take the cost of desserts off our bill, but just the whole scenario was flat from the beginning. I may try this place again, but not on a weekend, and not for a very long time. Mediocre delivered for supreme prices.
