    Salad & cream of corn soup
    Rich M.

    Solid place and probably your best option at the food court overall. I had never thought there was a good Italian restaurant in the small Viejas food court, until we checked it out. My daughter has had the fettuccine Alfredo and loved it, and I believe we once tried the lasagna many years back and were impressed with the authentic taste. The pizza has been so delicious here every time! Pretty much cannot go wrong ordering any pizza. Super tasty with top notch ingredients and they never burn the cheese. Which some (but not me) prefer of course.. We've tried several types of pizzas over the years, and what I love is we visit very occasionally and it has been consistently good. Years ago, had the torpedo sandwich and was impressed by the size and quality of the meats. I now always incorporate a visit here every trip up to Viejas!

    Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza

    HANDS DOWN THE BEST PIZZA I'VE EVER HAD!!! A TRUE HIDDEN GEM!! I go on a Charter Bus for the Viejas Casino every 3 month and this is me and my boyfriend's GO TO SPOT!! Everything is made when you order, so The food is always fresh and hot!! The customer service is ASTOUNDING and everything in the restaurant is CLEAN. Overall 100/10 I truly recommend!!

    I've had Adriano's pizza grotto prior; a few years back. This time I decided to order to go instead of dining in. I stopped by after ice skating. There were a good amount of customers dining; I ordered at the counter. I had the fit for a king 8 inch pizza (personal size) which had cheese, sausage, onion, mushroom, pepperoni, black olives and bell pepper. It took about 25 minutes to get the pizza. It was quite a bit of a wait. Once I got the pizza, I sat on the outdoors seating area. The pizza was so fresh, that the cheese and ingredients slid off the dough lol. It was delicious, fresh ingredients and the dough was perfectly cooked. I ordered their ranch on the side as well, it tasted great and you can tell it was homemade. Perfect portion for $1. Fit for a king 8" pizza ran about $13. Customer service, staff and the cooks were great. Dining area had a good amount of table and chairs. Decorations were nice. Clean restaurant. High chairs available for toddlers. Plenty of restroom throughout the Viejas outlet.

    This place is an adorable, family-run business. I like all the food items I've tried so far. My favorite is the white pizza or Hawaiian pizza. The thin crust is not as good as the regular crust. I'm also a big fan of their homemade soups, which flavors change daily and come with a side of sourdough toast. They have good service as well, whether ordering takeout or dining in. Not super fast like a fast food place, cuz it's a sit down place, so you know they are making the food fresh! The family is also very friendly

    Came to Adrianos on a whim, didn't expect much. Turns out the pizza was... delicious!!!! We ordered a salad and a pizza. The salad came out quickly and the pizza was piping hot! The pizza had great flavor, the cheese was amazing and the fact that it wasn't greasy, this now will be my favorite pizza joint.

    If you come on a Wednesday get the potato bacon cheddar soup it is really good and service is nice deja is the best employee there atmosphere is really good

    We were coming back from Mount Laguna looking for a place to take a restroom break and grab some lunch. This place is located within the Viejas Outlet center which I've noticed to be pretty quiet, low traffic the last times I've been around. With that said, Adriano's was full of people waiting in line to order so that was a good sign! My fiancé and I shared a 12in meat lovers pizza and a half order of lasagna with the meat sauce and meatball. Pizza was delicious and had a chewy crust and thick layer of cheese - kind of reminded me Filippi's pizza, if I had to compare it to something. Only issue was that the cheese was so thick and not cut through that when you pulled a slice, the toppings would get stuck the rest of the pizza and you'd be left with the crust. Lasagna was really good with the meat sauce (you could also choose marinara sauce) and the added meatball was the highlight. I did ask the girl at the counter if the meatballs/sausages were made in house and I thought it was strange that she didn't know. There was a section that was just a thick chunk of hard cheese so I had to throw it away, but other than that the rest was good. Overall, it's a nice little spot in the outlet so if you're in the area, definitely stop by! The pizza and lasagna was more than enough food for us and we had leftovers for a couple days!

    I was kinda shocked on how good the pizza was, Especially the cheese! Walked in with low expectations and needed some drinking food - lol They do not sell slices but a small pepperoni pizza was about $10. I bit the bullet and it was made fresh. Took about 10 mins or so. Wasn't that busy at all. They brought it over to our table and it looked really cheesy. They don't skimp on cheese here at all. The crust tasted fresh as well not frozen. Small was 4 slices just enough to fill us up. Friendly employees and they even checked up on us afterward to ask how the pizza was. The place Is a lot larger than it looks and was very clean. I would eat here again!

    The sandwiches are consistently great. The bread is wonderful. The antipasto salad is really good. This is our favorite at Viejas Outlets.

The special menu they had was fantastic and I was very excited to try something new here. I was craving Rack of Lamb so that's what I got and it didn't disappoint. My son got Lobster ravioli, My daughter got the Chilean Sea Bass (perfectly prepared and delicious) and my wife's Pappardelle pasta dish also fantastic. Did I mention the appetizer's? We got the Frittura Mista (Calamari, Shrimp, Artichoke w/ creamy Garlic sauce) & Polpettine (Braised Meatballs, San Marzano tomato sauce, Olives & whipped Ricotta), Excellent! The staff, as usual, were amazing even under pressure because it was packed from a little after opening at 4:30pm untill until we left, and I'm sure, until they closed. Well done - Antica Trattoria and thank you.

Upon walking in, they have an authentic Italian decor with beautiful murals on the wall depicting Italy. They have paintings hung up all over the restaurant which add a beautiful touch. Our waiter, Levi was professional, personal, and friendly. The bus boy was efficient in cleaning the table before we ordered and bringing us water and fresh homemade bread they make daily here. I decided to order the gnocchi which was rich and delicious. I could not eat it all because the portion was ample so I was able to bring the rest home. My Mom ordered shrimp linguine which she said was perfecto. She was able to finish all of hers. We throughly enjoyed our food and service . It was the best!
