    Medium Pizza (12")
    Rosa V.

    This place was average. The pizzas I ordered for carryout were disappointing, with bland flavors and a poor bread-to-topping ratio. I prefer a flatter, more flavorful crust.

    Been going here since the late 90s It has changed hands of ownership But the quality is still the same if not better !!! I highly recommend this place !!! MAFIA SANDWICH!!! Is the go to

    Visiting California from the East Coast...not sure why I stopped for Italian with all the other things California has to offer. I guess I was looking for something familiar (East Coast Italian Cuisine is phenomenal). I wasn't impressed, the lettuce was wilted and I don't know what was going on with the tomatoes but that was the end of that sandwich. The manager (sorry, don't know his name, some bald guy) was just like the lettuce... Leave Italian to the East Coast please.

    Delicious, locally owned Italian sandwich/grinder shop. So glad we stopped here while passing through Riverside- we sampled the Mafia and The Brooklyn grinders, both were very tasty. Fresh made bread, simple ingredients that aren't overly salted or slathered, just all around quality sandwiches. Service was very friendly as well. What a great find (thank you Yelp!) and a recommended stop if you're in the area.

    Love the sandwiches here! Staff is always super friendly. Fresh brewed ice tea, which is a must for lunch for me. Mafia Monday, BOGO 1/2 off, is a great deal. They have other deals everyday too ! Stay local, and small business! Avoid those mega chains.

The highlights of our meal: Pan-Seared Fish: The fish was crisped to perfection on the outside while remaining tender on the inside, served over a bed of fresh green beans and a light, flavorful vegetable brodo/sauce that tied everything together beautifully. Neapolitan-Style Margherita Pizza: A complete standout--light, airy, blistered crust topped with vibrant tomato sauce, fresh melted mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves. Simple, authentic, and delicious. Bread Service & Wine: Accompanied by fresh crusty bread, rich butter, and a great wine selection that paired effortlessly with the entire meal.

We got a few specials that weren't on the menu: lobster bisque soup and clam pizza, as well as a mushroom risotto dish. All of the dishes were amazing and the highlight was the clam pizza for me. The cheese and clams were perfect and the seasoning was great. The risotto was really good as well, with strong mushrooms and cheese flavor. You also get complimentary bread and butter! The food was really good, the dishes came out to about $30 each which isn't too bad for an upscale Italian restaurant. Service was outstanding throughout! The staff took really good care of us and checked in on us often. Restaurant was clean with a classic Italian feel, nice decor and a good ambiance. Will definitely be back to try more dishes!

    My wife picked this spot for our anniversary dinner. We agreed we wanted a cozy place that we…read morehadn't tried before. The food was pretty good. I got fettuccine alfredo with broccoli, my wife got the mushroom artichoke fettuccine with their marinara. One of us got the italian bread and the other the garlic, so we could try both. Portions were pretty good, not enormous but definitely enough. The sauces were good, and the vegetables and pasta itself were all cooked to perfection. Can't say it was an unforgettable-tasting meal, but was at least as good as other restaurants nearby. Our waitress said she was relatively new, but she was very attentive and we never felt like it was hard to get her help or attention. Wish I had gotten her name to pay her a more formal compliment. It also happened to be one of their spaghetti special days, and $9.99 spaghetti with salad and bread is a great value. When we do come back it'll definitely be on another special day. Can't think of another Italian place nearby with the same portions for that price. My one and only complaint- I felt like the music was a HUGE missed opportunity. We went seeking cozy, and the old style booths provided a bit of that, but they were playing current country music hits the whole time. Would have totally completed the package and checked every box had they played something a little more on-theme. Nothing wrong with country music, but in a small, cozy italian restaurant, it would've been so much more immersive to play something Italian, or at least classical. Don't skip the good food and prices because of that, but hopefully a helpful suggestion to make the place just a little bit cooler!

We began with handmade meatballs and a Caprese salad featuring heirloom tomatoes and burrata mozzarella, both appetizers were fresh and full of flavor. For our main courses, I had the lasagna and my friend ordered the spaghetti Bolognese, both were cooked to perfection with rich, comforting flavors. While the food earned a solid 4 out of 5, the service was a bit inconsistent, likely due to the holiday rush, so I would rate it a 3 out of 5. The staff did correct a mix-up and even gave us an extra piece of tiramisu and cappuccinos to go. Afterward, we took them to the park as the fireworks began at Mount Rubidoux. The ambiance of the Mission Inn gave the evening a classic, European feel, so I would give it a 4 out of 5. Overall, it was a memorable evening filled with great food and a wonderful atmosphere.

I remember bringing my own children here when they were young, and now I get to continue that tradition with my grandchildren. No, it's not high-end Italian dining, and it doesn't try to be. What it does offer is a family-friendly atmosphere, comforting food, and a place where kids are genuinely excited to visit. My grandkids love the butter pasta just as much as I do, and it's always a guaranteed win when we dine here. We recently stopped by after their school recital, and they were absolutely thrilled when we were seated in the trolley. Their excitement alone made the visit memorable. The staff was friendly and welcoming, service was prompt, this location tends to be quieter than many family restaurants, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our meal. For me, this place isn't just about the food it's about the memories and the spumoni ice cream . Watching my grandchildren enjoy the same restaurant that my children loved years ago is something I treasure. We'll definitely continue coming back for years to come

Extremely disgusting, the manager offer to replace our food with something else but my appetite was gone and my stomach was feeling kind of weird. Tasting the chicken like that it actually ruined the whole experience. Also, we order meatballs, they were not tender like they are supposed to be. Would I recommend this place? NO! I think there are better places with better food than here. As I was typing this here at the restaurant, my wife just informed me that her lasagna was not good either, the pasta was over cooked and mushy (my wife replace her chicken parm for lasagna). Funny thing is that while we're waiting to get a table an older gentleman told us "this is the shittiest food I ever had" my wife and I looked at each other and laugh because we did not believe him but he was 10000000% right. PS The manager tried to blame me for not liking the chicken, but how can I like something that half was really tender and the other have was not? She said, it all depends on the customer's preference! Really lady? I had two different texture in one piece of chicken. I am 46 years old and I have eaten a lot of chicken in my life so I know when something is not right. Accountability is very important instead of trying to blame the customer.
