    7/9/26 Panzarello's Upland, CA...Came here today for lunch with a very nice group of about 10 people as part of the Upland City Food Crawl week # 2. We are supporting Upland local restaurant businesses. I met James the owner and he is a really sweet dude! This place was nice and clean outside and inside. The service by our two waitresses was really good! I ordered a Caesar salad to start. Great Caesar dressing and love the croutons! I then got 3 tacos as they do Taco Thursdays! They are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I had 1 each of Shrimp, chicken, and Carne Asada. They are good sized and tasted so good too! Come and give this place a try!!!

    Ziti bread bowl

    This spot is so unique because they serve Mexican and Italian food all in one place. Everything is house-made-- the sauces, the bread, everything is made fresh when you order. ‍ Baked Ziti Bread Bowl Huge, soft bread bowl filled with flavorful ziti pasta. Made fresh so it takes a little longer, but it's 100% worth the wait. Spaghetti Really good, but the sauce is on the sweeter side. I personally loved it, but if you don't like sweet pasta sauce you may want to try another dish or ask to taste it first. Beef Empanadas So good and even better with the two dipping sauces they serve with them. Chips & Salsa Hot, thin, crispy chips with a salsa that had great flavor and the perfect spicy kick. Garlic Bread Butter, cheese, and garlic... absolute perfection. Cannolis The perfect sweet ending. They did not disappoint. If you love Italian food AND Mexican food, this place is a must try. It's truly a hidden gem, and I'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

    Bruschetta

    I feel like Panzarello's Restaurant is the type of place that Gordon Ramsay should feature on Kitchen Nightmares. This place has so much potential. It's solid but falls short. I want to like it, I want to see it have success and it worries me how empty it was for a Saturday night. The food concept is great (Italian/Mexican fusion) but the fusion itself is lacking. I worry that maybe it won't be around much longer since desert cases are empty and Dr. Pepper is on the menu but no longer available. We ordered the Bruschetta and the presentation was nice. Everything was great both presentation and taste wise except the bread. The bread fell apart (not in a good way) and tasted old. It hit me at this point that this would be better with like a fried tortilla as the bread (fusion). The best thing about this place is their jalapeno. I have a very high spice threshold and on this particular Saturday night they were Super spicy. The Jalapeno Alfredo Pasta is solid but at the end of the day is a very bland and basic pasta dish saved by the Jalapeno. The Mexican Pizza is more CPK than Taco Bell. The one we ordered probably stayed in the oven a bit too long but it was decent. It worries me that this place was empty (literally two other parties there when we ordered) and they left the pizza in too long. The other thing that bothered me and yes I realize how snobby this sounds..is how they just leave random things out in random places. Like I feel like I shouldn't be able to see these ladders and tables from where I'm eating. It's sloppy. There was one woman working outside of the kitchen when we went. So she was the only wait staff, the hostess etc I don't know her name but she was great. Fast service, offered refills and very nice. This place has fair prices for items as well So in closing I want to see this place succeed but I fear it's gonna fall short. It's so close to being great but sadly it's just average. I would go again if the opportunity presents itself.

    10/10. It's hard finding an Italian cuisine restaurant nearby the IE. Food was amazing !! Definitely recommend to those who love authentic Italian food. Service was super Friendly and the restaurant had such a nice Tuscan Italian vibe to it.

    Spaghetti and Meatballs
    Lauren M.

    Ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and my nana got the weekend special lasagna plate--both were absolutely delicious! Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a really nice spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The service was also amazing and made the experience even better. 10/10, definitely coming back!

    Chicken Parmesan with gnocchi, empanadas, albondigas soup and side salad.

    Got their chicken parm with gnocchi special this weekend with their empanadas and cup of albondigas soup. It was so good! Got it to go, but customer service was great as well. Will be back.

    Chipotle Penne Sausage
    Leo H.

    Came here to watch the Steelers game got the chipotle sausage pasta and it was good service was not good at all and on top of that they just automatically added 20% gratuity to my bill how and the hell your going to g to just do that and your service is trash... I will never come here again..

    Normal tables and high tops in the dining area of the restaurant. They also have booths. There is also a great looking bar area with several

    We went to try out their lunch. wow, what a suprise. They have an 11:00-3:00 $10 lunch special. We ordered their peppers & sausage and a roast beef dip sandwiches; shoestring fries included. On Wednesday they have a wing special with or without bones for $.60 each minimum of 10 wings. we ordered the 10 boneless wings dipped in buffalo sauce with a dipping sauce of blue cheese dressing. the sandwiches were great; loaded with meat. the fries fresh and crispy. Buffalo wings were crispy and cooked just right. The place was very clean with great service. This is going to be placed on our favorite restaurant list.

Then I realized I pass it pretty often when leaving work, so when I was in the area with my family, we decided to finally stop in. The place looked pretty run-down when we walked in, and unfortunately the first impression didn't get much better. The person taking our order wasn't particularly welcoming or service-forward, and the table we sat at was noticeably sticky. While we were waiting, a friend of the owners came in and was loudly dropping plenty of profanity, which seemed to be perfectly welcome. Meanwhile, the same person who took our order was now in the back preparing our food. We tried the crunchy homestyle hard-shell tacos that seem to be the big thing online, along with a couple of street tacos. The food itself wasn't terrible. It was definitely on the greasy side, but there was some flavor there. I just wouldn't describe it as particularly authentic or something I would go out of my way for. For me, the bigger issue was the overall experience. The condition of the restaurant, the cleanliness of the table, and the general lack of attention to the customer experience all added up. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but based on this visit, I wouldn't go back or recommend it.

The rice was flavorful and so were the beans which is a hit or miss for Mexican restaurants these days. The shrimp tacos were phenomenal! I recommend getting it without the chipotle and getting their green salsa or using that red sauce from the chile Riano. The elote was on point. Another hit or miss for Mexican restaurants. Personally I feel like most places use too much sauce making it into a soup. This place had the perfect amount of every ingredient. The pina was too Right away when we walked in we were greeted by multiple friendly staff members. Nice clean restaurant. Plenty of menu options. I'll definitely be coming back.
