Great food, can't emphasize it enough. Introduced to this place a couple years ago and I've loved coming in ever since. Service is always solid. read more

Authentic tasting food. Friendly service. Fresh ingredients. Timely service. What more can you ask for? I highly recommend for lunch...they waste no time getting your food ready for you and they are so nice and friendly! read more

Great food but the girls who run the register and take the orders have the worst attitude and it leaves a bad taste in your mouth before you even try it. The food has always been excellent, and authentic but the customer service has a long way to go. read more

Tried the meatball sub! Very good! Fresh ingredients and good recipes! I will visit again!

Went here on a recommendation from a friend. He said the food was really good, and I can now say that he was spot on. The counter person was very friendly so you felt welcomed instead of an imposition. The menu was varied and cooked to order. I'm definitely going back. read more

This place is a 10 every time! Excellent food. Highly recommend the chopped salad. Arugula salad is great too. This is our go-to place.

I was blown away with how good this Italian restaurant was. My expectations weren't real high for this place since the atmosphere was so relaxed. The sauces tasted homemade when I was expecting them to taste like they came from a can. I was very wrong! I like that this is a lunch place with dinner quality food. The raviolis were great and the sauce had a good balance to it. The marinara sauce has good flavoring as well. The Fettuccine Alfredo was too rich though. The butter was pooling on the side of the container and is a dish I would not get again. In the end it did satisfy my craving for Italian food. read more

THis place is not too bad. I've eaten here before and candidly while the food is pretty good (I give the food a 4) the overall experience bason on this being take-out only with dine-in prices drives me to the 3 rating. read more

Food is definitely 4-5 stars but the cashier is a snot. Don't go for lunch around 1:00 if a girl is there and she is short - she has a really bad attitude and this is NOT the first time she has done this to me. The management should be aware of this. read more

Took my girl for a quick dinner here . At first I thought it wasn't going to be much since you get your food in a cardboard box but it's actually really good and perfect if your on the go . Will def go back read more

We left work early to meet our friends there. Three of us arrived a bit early so waited 5 minutes for the fourth. When he arrived we went to order and were told we would have to wait an hour because a large phone order had just come in and because of its size, it was being given priority. The owner was quite rude about it and said "I just got a $500 order so I can't help you." What he meant was that even though we had all been regular customers for a long time, we had no value to him today. Well mr. Guicho,I assure you we will be of no value to you ever again. Nor will likely be all the other people we saw you turn away while we stood there. I don't know that I have ever seen customers treated so poorly before. And you justified it by saying "it's just business." Business is about customer service and this place has none. read more

The food was served fresh and hot. My reason for the lower review? The service.As a dine in customer I expect to see the same level of service given to each customer equally. I did not witness that. I was in a party of 5 with 3 adults and two children. Each of us ordered our own meal drinks and even two salads for the table. As mentioned the food arrives fresh and steaming hot so we were there quite awhile. A man wearing glasses who looked to be the owner/manager went around and greeted each table while completely ignoring ours. There was a point where I stood at the register to ask if I could have the restroom key. He was not assisting anyone, saw me standing there, and completely ignored me. While I was standing there a young girl wearing no shoes walked in and he promptly asked her what she needed and how he could help. I had to wait for one of the girls at the register to come back to it so I could ask for the key. read more

Best Italian food in South Orange County and we've tried them all. Friendly attentive staff and a cute place to dine in but it looks like most of their business is takeout. read more

Did not expect decent Italian food since our standard of measure is New Haven, CT. But had a meatball sandwich that was simply outstanding. Bread was both soft and crunchy. Real tomato sauce, fontina cheese, meatballs made with love. My wife was ready to turn around and buy more stuff just because. read more

I love Guichos, the food is always fresh and hot. So convenient, just call ahead and it's always ready when you get there to pick it up. The staff is always very friendly too. read more

I live down the street from Guicho's 2 and placed an order for Chicken Marsala, salad and tirumasu. Went to pick it up. No order. Cashier asked what number I called. Mistakenly called Guicho's 1. Did not have time to drive down there to pick it up as a friend was coming over in 15 minutes. I apologized profusely for the mistake. The cashier rang up my order and when she went to put it in the owner (I assume or manager) came back with her and refused to fill the order!! He refunded my credit card purchase (including the 20% tip I had left). I have NEVER in my life had a fast food restaurant refuse to sell me food! This was my first experience with this establishment. And, obviously, I will NOT go back. It would have been different if I had been belligerent but I wasn't. How could you refuse to fill someone's order insisting that they drive 5 miles away to their other location????? read more

This place. Best sandwich I've had within a 12 mile radius. Can't wait to try something else!

Pleasantly surprised. We've eaten here twice and both times are food was molto bene! Our pasta was served piping hot, super fresh quality ingredients. The free garlic bread is perfection. Absolutely delicious! The ambiance is just ok, but it's take out style so it doesn't bother us. My only request is please get a baby high chair! I have to hold my baby on my lap and it makes it hard to fully enjoy the meal. Which by the way my babies like the food too! read more

I can't believe I haven't left a review of this place! I love Guicho's so much and have enjoyed it for years! I'm so happy they have another location closer to me. The quality of the food is amazing - everything I've tried is so so yummy! I especially love the Spaghettini! Their tiramisu is also delicious! They get incredibly busy, especially on Fridays and Saturdays so call and order a good amount of time in advance if you're doing carry-out. The service is also wonderful and everyone who works there has a smile on their face! I love Guicho's!! read more

Love this place the best place in town to eat at talian food I love it,can't wait to eat eat eat yummy

I'm not sure why the reviewers rave about this place; yes, it's good and the food is fresh but it's not out of this world. I had the spaghetti and meatballs; the meatballs were made out of good ingredients but the sauce was very bland, nothing like homemade. For bread, we were given a tiny, thin piece of dried up somethng; what I guess was garlic toast? My husband did enjoy his meatball sandwich, noting that the bread was especially fresh-tasting. Nobody has mentioned that you have to eat the food out of a paper box...that's right, they slam the food right down onto a box which is supposed to serve as a plate. Although I admire their efforts to be green, it kind of detracts from the experience of eating the food. read more

I like the concept of the quick Italian bite instead of sitting and spending lots of money at the restaurant. It was Friday evening and the place was packed with order pickup people. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. My tortellini was perfect like I would have at a restaurant. read more

I've been here a handful of times and I am consistently impressed. I have tried the meatball sub, the Italian sandwich, the fusilli special with sausage, and the chicken marsala and they have all been delicious. I think my favorite was the meatball sub, as the meatballs tasted great, the bread was tasty and crusty, and the marinara sauce was a perfect complement. The prices are fair, and while I see mentions of issues with the service, I have not had that experience at all, and have found their service to be nice and friendly. I'd highly recommend this place. Definitely more of a take-out joint, but there are tables too. read more

The food here is amazing, it is not fast food, so be prepared to have something prepared with the time and care that it takes to do something worth it! Especially love the Arugula Salad and the Penne with Eggplant. Vegetarian friendly, they have something for everybody. So glad the second location opened up. read more

Good food. Very good. Tiny little spot but so tasty. Love the cheesesteak sandwich & salad

Love, love, love this place. Try the shrimp fettuccine its to die for. Don't forget the yummy garlic bread and a salad. Easily feeds two people. Went there last night had the tortellini yum-o. read more

Had a craving for lasagna so I came over here since its right by my work. Very good, I enjoyed it very much. Only thing I will mention next time is that they put the sauce on the side. Made it a bit messy for a to-go and after a few bites I started losing my meal in it. They gave me some garlic bread as well while I waited. I rarely crave Italian but the next time I am, I will try out this place again read more

The meatballs were so bad. The pasta was good. We ate there which I don't recommend. I think it will be better for take out it was very noisy they forgot to put our order in so it was a half hour before we got our dinner. They Brought us a dessert because they knew they had screwed up with our order. I would get that but another chance but I would do take out and read more

i love this place. Their italian food is so so good. I wish they had another place closer to newport. I have tried the following: 1. spaghetti with meatballs -i love their marinara sauce here. i dont think the meatballs are worth the extra cost, so now I just get their spaghetti with marinara. 2. spaghettini -just okay. wouldnt order it again 3. tagaelle with salmon -WOW. this is one of my favorite dishes. very flavorful, not too rich. 4. fettacine with shrimp -lacking in flavor. but nothing a little salt cant fix! wouldnt order again. 5. tortillini -this is a super rich and filling dish. it's good, but i think my all time favorite is the tagaelle. sorry for the misspellings. too lazy to look up their menu for proper spellings. read more

Simple and easy for takeout of Italian food. I truly love this place and come here a few times a month. I highly recommend it to all my friends. read more

The Italian Sub is one of the Top 3 BEST sandos I've ever had. Ever. I'm only an amateur foodie, but this thing is top notch. Go here (or the other one), get anything on their menu. You won't be disappointed! I live in Northern Virginia and I make it a special point to come here whenever I'm in the area. read more

Fantastic food and flavors. Primarily a takeout but still offer seating and traditional dining atmosphere. Try it you won't be disappointed!

Food is Amazing but who every runs it needs a quick lesson on how to do so. It was my neighborhood favorite but I will not be returning. Last Friday I went with my GF to enjoy some Italian and when we walked in we were told they were cooking for a catering event and we wouldn't get our food for an hour. It's a Friday night and you are pushing away walk In business?? We opted to go check out somewhere else that we were very pleased with. Fast forward one week to this Saturday, we walk in and the exact same thing happened again. "Sorry were cooking a catering order and you won't get your food for an hour". This is terrible service to basically tell your walk In business to kick rocks on a Friday and Saturday night. Two thumbs down read more

The food here is spectacular!!! Reading some of the reviews on this place honestly makes me sad, the girls working the front have always been kind, helpful, and personable. Some even recognize my name/order whenever I go in, which more than I can ask for from such a busy take out place. Sometimes they make mistakes, but they're never rude about it and always apologize profusely. I dont blame them for making mistakes either... place is PACKED at about 630/7pm. I recommend their spaghetti with meatballs, chop salad, special fusilli, and meatball sandwich!! read more

Always fresh, clean and friendly. I always get the four cheese ravioli or meatball sandwich. The bread is made fresh. I have tried multiple items and all have been good. read more

High quality pasta and sauces. Bread is fantastic. A bit pricey, but worth it.

Found my go-to spot for italian food. Linguine with shrimp and scallop was on point. Can't wait to try some more dishes here. I'm coming back soon. read more

We love this place! It's super convenient to pick up dinner on our way home. The food is fresh, the staff is friendly, but most importantly it is delicious. Everything I've ordered off the menu is great but our favorites are the Arugula Salad, Fettuccini, Linguine, and the Meatball Sub! read more
