    Creamy Garlic Veggie and Pesto Supreme
    Arnold T.

    Stopped by after a sporting event and the ambience was as good as the company. We got a 1/2 1/2 pizza with creamy garlic and pesto supreme. Pretty good but standard, no wow factor, but still enjoyable. There's a small arcade area for kids to enjoy and the interior is fairly spacious. This seems to be the place to go for all the locals after sports and it can get pretty busy. Service was friendly but it does take a while to get your food. Located in the Ralphs plaza at the corner of Walnut and Culver, in Irvine. There's quite a bit of shops around but parking seems to not be a problem.

    As someone who grew up on Lamppost Pizza in NorCal I was excited to learn about the numerous locations in OC. This one is located in a strip mall in Irvine. I didn't expect it to be so crowded but it was pretty packed for a Thursday night, I was glad we were able to find a comfortable spot on the patio. They have an extensive menu with lots of varieties of pizza as well as sandwiches and salads. I like that you can get a personal size pizza here too, it makes ordering with a group easy--everyone can get what they want! I opted for my old favorite from my childhood--the cinnamon pizza. Dessert pizza is so elite. It was so crispy, sweet, and delicious. Staff was friendly, too. Will be back another time for the many varieties of pizza.

    When we arrived, the restaurant was fairly empty, but Back Street Brewery had a few patrons enjoying drinks at the bar. We were able to order beer right away, and the server was kind enough to offer me a taste before I committed! One thing I wish was clearer: the menu didn't list prices for the beers, so I had no idea how much each one cost until I saw the total bill. It would be great to have that transparency upfront. That said, I appreciated the selection--they had a mix of BSB's own brews along with offerings from other breweries, which made for a well-rounded variety. The dog-friendly patio is great, especially for enjoying that beautiful OC weather. As for food, we decided to try the Pesto Supreme pizza, and it did not disappoint! The crust was perfectly crispy, and the cheese pulls were seriously impressive. Overall, I'm happy to have another solid brewery option in Irvine and look forward to coming back!

    The pizza served here is a different kind of delicious. It's fresh and great in quality. I've tried to make pizza dough from scratch and my pizzas don't turn out as good as lamppost. Something about their dough completes the pizza. The 8 inch individual pizza for $8.99 is very filling. My boyfriend usually comes here on his lunches and they have great deals during lunch. Only thing is lunch slices offer two options: pepperoni or cheese. Lamppost has a wonderful social aspect good for adults as they have their own bar area. It's great for kids too and is a family oriented restaurant.

    Located in the busy and popular Heritage Plaza shopping center. It was my first and only visit. On a Thursday, it was packed. Full of families and large parties. Very loud. They seemed to be very short staffed. Therefore, both the outdoor and indoor dining areas were a mess. Think the cartoon Tasmanian devil. Everything was all over the place and chairs were blocking walk areas. We had the pizza bread and Cobb salad. They were average in taste. The pizza bread was miniature. An okay choice for families with small kids.

    Lampost claims these listed hours are false
    Shelly M.

    My friend and I decided to come here after checking the times they are open on Google (see photo). It's advertised they are open till 10, so we figured last call would be around 9:30. We came in at 9:10 and the bar area was pretty full of people, and they had a few large parties at the tables in the dining area still, so we really didn't expect to be sent away. The kid working said we could only order for take out, claiming they actually close at 9:30, despite their Google listed hours. Even if this is correct, there is no way they were going to have all the bar people and large table parties gone by then anyway. They could have easily made our cheese bread and salad and had us out before the large parties anyway. The teenagers working here clearly don't care about customer experience or the business making money. They just want to get off work as quickly as possible. We went to The Habit, in the same center, who was more than happy to have our bussiness instead of pushing us out.

    This is a nice pizza spot for hanging out with friends and family. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately the pizza wasn't anything special, it tasted like Costco pizza to me (for double the price). I prefer a more tangy pizza sauce, and this sauce wasn't tangy at all. But I loved the potato wedges!!! Because of the price, I probably wouldn't come back, but I am happy I tried it. :)

    Such a delicious dinner!…read more I came to Oliver's Trattoria with my family to celebrate my sister's high school graduation, and it ended up being such a wonderful dinner. Everything we tried tasted so fresh, homemade, and thoughtfully prepared. Every dish was completely on point. My absolute favorite was the lobster risotto. Their risotto special changes every week, and the week we went, it was lobster risotto. It was SO delicious creamy, flavorful, and honestly one of the highlights of the entire meal. If you see it on the menu, definitely order it! And as a huge tiramisu fan, I have to talk about the tiramisu. It was SO, SO good and easily one of the best tiramisus I've had. It was the perfect way to end the meal. The service was also fantastic. Our waiter was so kind, sweet, and attentive throughout the entire dinner. He really made the experience feel special without being overbearing. I also loved the atmosphere. The restaurant feels really airy and welcoming, with a calm and relaxing vibe. It was pretty quiet when we went, which made it really nice for having dinner and actually being able to talk with my family. It definitely has a more upscale, higher-end feel, but still feels comfortable and inviting. Overall, I absolutely loved our experience here. It was the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion, and the food, service, and atmosphere were all amazing. Definitely a spot I'd love to come back to!

We made reservations online and were seated immediately. There is a bar seating area, general seating areas, and a private table area separated by glass. POLPETTE ($27) - the meat was soft and I loved the cheese on the inside. I also liked dipping the crispy bread in the sauce. I really enjoyed these. 4.5/5 FRITTO MISTO ($29) - this was their calamari and I liked the slightly chewy texture. There was also fried zucchini and shrimp and I liked the variety. 4/5 PROSCUITTO E BURRATA ($28) - this pizza had a combination of both salty (from the prosciutto) and sweet (from the burrata). I liked that the crust was thin and chewy. 4/5 TAGLIATELLE ALLA BOLOGNESE ($35) - the pasta was fresh and cooked perfectly. There was a good portion of meat and the sauce was also pretty cheesy. 4.5/5 For drinks the bellini meenie miney moe ($17) was fruity and easy to drink and the espressotini ($17) had a strong coffee flavor. You can see the worker making homemade pasta made fresh through the window. The food was good and came out quickly.

Came during lunch time with my family expecting a better experience than the fast food places around the spectrum. The location at fashion island surpasses this location. Service was extremely slow not from the kitchen but from the servers. Not enough servers for the amount of people eating lunch. Our server had multiple tables and could not pay attention to any of them properly. My server forgot the pizza I ordered and after ordering food for my children he didn't come back for another 10 minutes to take our orders. He didn't not recommend anything in the menu, and didn't even offer us any wine or cocktails to pair with our lunch I Was expecting to have a drink, an appetizer and two entrees instead I asked for the only pasta I got to go since I no longer wanted to be inside the restaurant. Food is great, the pasta i took home, tasted great so compliments to the chef and kitchen staff but would not recommend eating here for lunch. Might have been just my server since it took another server to realize I was not satisfied with my lunch. Gave two stars: One for the high quality ingredients and delicious food And another star for the aesthetic of the restaurant, looks very pleasing to the eye and the decoration is nice.

He constantly checked in by filling our water, allowing him to remove plates when necessary and give us and easy way to order extra things if needed. He had a great script for going through the menu, I really enjoyed the explanation. He also timed the pizza to go perfectly based on our eating pace.

The extraordinary thing about the Pasta Sisters is that they offer house made pastas, which guarantees a higher price point, but offers unparalleled texture. The spaghetti has a "bite" that you get from a true "al dente" pasta. Their cheese tortellini were incredibly rich and cheesy, but a touch salty. The drawback of this location is that it's a ghost kitchen. You order it online and the order will be ready for you when you come in to pick it up. The location does not have seating, and you eat it at your own convenience. If you live/work locally, then this can be definitely worth checking out. Because I live out of town, I have to enjoy it either in my car, after a long drive home, or at my wife's office; however, I want to enjoy these $20 pastas in a restaurant, with wine and good company. A ghost kitchen is very different than a restaurant experience. I hope they do choose to bring their restaurant to the OC one day.
