    Vegan lasagna
    Chelsea B.

    New menu items: Vegan lasagna & vegan chicken fettuccine Alfredo! The lasagna has a nice herby flavor to it and the fettuccine is spicy, lemony, and creamy. I highly recommend & will be back for more soon. As always, excellent, friendly, personable service. Very clean environment and good vibes.

    Chicago deep is good!

    Tasty Pizza, Savory Breadsticks and fresh salad in town!! Always great customer service when visiting.

    Chille relleno chicken pizza
    Benjamin M.

    this pizza had really good fresh ingredient, you can taste it in the pizza the chille rellano pizza was fire you can tell they use real pablano chillis the flavor 5 star. I honestly think it's the best pizza in the marietta Temecula wildomar Lake elsinore area. I love pizza so me and my family are always on the hunt for good pizza the service was good to a lil pricey but worth it for fresh ingredients

    Caesar salad
    Jessica X.

    Friends live near by and usually order from them. Ordered for pick up: Caesar salad, medium pepperoni pizza and large meat pizza. Only thing would be the crust got a little smaller on the meat pizza per my friend since they go here more often than me. And the Caesar salad was a little sad, but we needed some greens with our pizza. Service was really nice, and ambiance was cute, cozy, and seats inside. I'm pretty sure we will be ordering often since it's close by and still yummy.

    Cheese burger pizza
    Robert W.

    We ordered the Cheeseburger pizza, from the home made sauce to the burger, pickles and cheese blend it was the best! Don't forget the cinnamon bread sticks with the homemade dipping sauce that is the BEST! Great job Papa G pizza.

    Garlic Chicken Pizza
    Gabbernaut C.

    Best Pizza I've had since moving to Lake Elsinore! Great pizza dough and marinera sauce, which is the foundation of pizza for me. We also tried the Pesto garlic chicken pizza which is really good! Nice indoor seating area and air conditioning. The husband and wife were very kind and personable. We will be coming back!

    Good ol' Papa G's! The owner (I assume) is there every time I pick up and he's always quick to ask how things are. This has been our go-to pizza since we moved to Wildomar last year and it's great every time.

    This kid made me happy. A few games for kiddos.
    Brittany B.

    Super cute vibe. Loved the fact that it took 20 minutes to get the pizza when we ordered, proof that it was fresh and made with love, which was obvious when we took the first bite. The crust was PERFECT. I wasn't super impressed with the sausage on the combo, however the pepperoni, freshly sliced mushrooms, and perfect crisp green bell peppers were outstanding. I'm giving 4 stars today but when I come back for the garlic chicken with secret Italian spices I may have to add a star. Stay tuned!

    Tried thier famous chicago double baked deep Dish pizza. Out of this world. New favorite pizza spot.

    Stumbled upon Papa G a few years ago. This is still our go to place, the pie is excellent. Well worth the drive when we're craving for pizza. Thank you guys.

    Margarita Pizza w/Bacon

    Papa G's Pizza is Fire!!! If you get a change, try the Margarita Pizza but add Bacon! So Good!

    This is George one of the nicest guys I have ever talked to

    Hello everyone, I was in the mood for a nice deep dish pizza around Sun City Menifee Lake Elsinore, Wildemar, perris Temecula only place I found was the place called Papa G's pizza we walked in. We noticed the place did not have any patron. There was a reason why everyone we saw had made the orders to go my wife and I wanted to try it so we went to the counter. Spoke to a gentleman named George really nice person very informative. He was explaining the process of watering a deep dish pizza not thinking that it takes an hour for our deep dish pizza to cook and be perfect so we ordered a Detroit deep dish combo and we said we'll be back in an hour. We ran around town saw some place. We've never seen and headed back as soon as we walked in George had said your timing is great. Your pizza is ready not knowing what to expect. My wife and I sat down. Had a couple waters with lemon and just was surprised with the size of the pie. George was kind enough to make us one a little bit bigger than normal saying that it was our first time there we sat down, cut up the pizza I need to tell you guys something. I'm from the Orange County area. I would have to drive to Placencia to order a deep dish pizza, but I'm so glad that my wife and I came here because the service was phenomenal. I have never experienced the kindness in the informative information about a restaurant and it's background well the pie was delicious. I was happy that I got to take some home and warm up the next day if you're ever in a mood for a deep dish pizza come to Papa G's say hi to George for me. Finding out later he was the owner once again my go to place for a deep dish pizza and he have plenty of different varieties but the icing on the cake was a homemade cheesecake. Please forgive me for being so informative about our experience, you have to know the details in order for you to find out how professionally and delicious a pie can be definitely must try when they go in. Just tell them art and Maya sent me who agreed with the big old smile and the best Service on Italian pizza place will give you thank you guys

For years I mainly ordered the same ravioli because it was just that good, but lately I've started trying different Entrees/dishes and every single one has been just as delicious. Honestly, now I feel like I've been missing out because their entire menu is incredible. This is my go to restaurant to bring family & friends too, as it also provides an intimate dining experience. Recently I brought my dad who was obsessed with their Cannoli's, said they're the best he's ever had! One of my favorite traditions is coming here for my birthday with friends and sitting out on the cute outdoor patio for a big dinner together. The atmosphere is so relaxing and welcoming, and they also have a great little bar with an excellent wine selection and always a fun new cocktail to try. It's hard to find restaurants that stay consistently this good over the years, but Tresinos always does. Amazing food, great service, and such a warm family-owned feel. Definitely one of my favorite Italian restaurants!!!

I ordered the eggplant dish, the Rigatoni Tresino and it was absolutely delicious! My grandson said his spaghetti was the best he ever tasted. Everyone in our party felt the food was top notch.

Walked in and staff told us we could sit anywhere and at first she was nice but we sat down and looked at the menu and she disappeared. Took a hot minute to come back to us but when she did she was just like " ready?" And took our order I watched other tables get basket of breads and told the specials for the night. Our table did not get either. I had to hear about the specials from the table across where a nicer and more attentive woman took their order. Her name was Cassie and honestly maybe she just had a bad night. But no specials , no bread and had to constantly search for water refills. Someone else gave us our food and helped us out for the rest of the time until it came time for the check. And even when we wanted the check Cassie took forever to come back to us. Our pizza was good but the carbonara was a sloppy watery mess. No flavor. Tasked like boiled noodles and water. We had to drown it in Parmesan to even take a bite, it's sad because it was my favorite dish from there and now I no longer ever wish to return. Wish our server liked her job and wish our food tasted like how it used to. Sad to say goodbye but never ever would we come back nor would I suggest this place to our family and friends.

From the moment we walked into Fugghedabout, we were stunned. The space is dark, sultry, lightly dimmed, and incredibly chic, something you'd never expect here. It has a very grown up, intimate vibe (21+ only), perfect for date night or a night out with friends. We were lucky enough to visit on a night with live music (they have it Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), and it completely set the mood. Even though it wasn't very busy, the energy was wonderful and the music was excellent. Service was top notch. Meghan was fantastic, friendly, attentive, accommodating, and so helpful throughout the meal. Faith, the owner, also stopped by several times to check on us, which earned major points. Such a sweet touch and much appreciated. Now the food... wow. We started with the seared scallop special topped with caviar, and it was outstanding, perfectly cooked, with the caviar adding just the right touch of saltiness. Honestly, we wanted to order more. The hot goat cheese with hot honey appetizer was delicious and so comforting. Definitely get extra bread, you'll want it. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we tried the taco trio with chicken, steak, and shrimp. The steak and shrimp were standouts. The chicken was slightly dry, but overall we really enjoyed them. And the biggest surprise of the night was the shrimp and sausage skillet. Absolutely incredible. So flavorful and rich, and again we needed more bread to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce. We also ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, which was good. The sugar topping was slightly thick, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a dessert snob, so while we enjoyed it, the meal itself was really the shining star of the night. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. I was genuinely impressed by everything, service, ambiance, food, and live music. This place is a whole vibe. Five stars all the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food in a sultry, intimate setting. I've already recommended it to several friends. Thank you Meghan and Faith for such a great night. We'll definitely be back!

Imagine an elegant Wine Bar with dim lighting, an Old Skool atmosphere, and a wine list and menu of entrees and appetizers that will challenge any palate, compliments of Chef Orquedea. It was our first visit, arriving just as they opened, and having the whole romantic, classy speakeasy all to ourselves, our server Megan, made us feel right at home. Ensuring we received a little history about the establishment, the day's specials, and what some of their customers' favorites. To begin the experience, we received complimentary glasses of sparkling wine in celebration of their one-year anniversary, which was a nice touch. After a brief moment, we settled on sausage and three-cheese skillet appetizers with a house baguette. The two dishes arrived piping hot, gooey, and enticing! Amazingly delicious to say the least! Kudos to their place settings, glassware, and cloth napkins. Our selected wine was excellent as well, and the selection is very worldly and admirable. THIS is my favorite date place in the area!!! Chill, fashionable, comfortable seating, gorgeous bar, soft music in the background allowing for conversation, and the restroom provides a pleasant surprise as well. Hours of operation hover around Happy Hour and dinner, closing at 9 PM on weekdays and 10 pm on Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to enjoying their live entertainment and themed events in the future, at which time I will follow up on this review. Thank you, Faith, Megan & Orquedea for a wonderful time.--

A great deal at $11.99! Pizza, salad and a drink. Even if the food was just ok, it's still a smoking deal. Ok let's get in to this. Sat promptly, as it was a slow time. Very pleasant staff. I'm usually not a fan of pizza buffets. They usually, in my tastebuds/mind anyway, taste dull. The crust sufferers. Uneven temperatures. Not here. The buffet pizzas are nothing fancy to look at. But I grabbed 3 slices, Hawaiian, pepperoni and a sausage and mushroom. I'm not a big crust eater. I usually leave them on my plate. Not here. Soft and delicious especially dipped in their Italian dressing. Toppings were very good. Sauce was perfect. Not overly sauced but the exact right amount. The taste came through nicely. The salad. This was a garden salad. But well adorned with veggies. Iceberg and Spring Mix greens, grape tomatoes, freshly sliced cucumbers... you get the idea. As I mentioned earlier, I had their Italian dressing. But let me get to the salads impressive quality. It's served ICE COLD. The way a salad should be served. And it was made fresh, not premade and sitting in a cooler. I don't usually brag on side salads, but was a notable positive item. Go eat here.
