    Chicken & Peppers served with Penne Alfredo
    Scott W.

    Your favorite Yelp correspondent was, on this night at least, a guest of a guest. Donna and Harold were celebrating their Golden 50th Wedding Anniversary on the delightful patio wing adjacent to the main entrance and my bride, who works closely w/ Donna as an adjunct instructor, received an invitation. Color us suitably impressed...just probably not to the point where WE'D return as paying guests, ourselves. Not because of anything that the Pizzaoili team neglected to do, but solely because we are not the biggest consumers nor partisans of, Italian cuisine. Our dinner party was comprised of 25-30 guests, carefully arrayed around a large rectangular table with big heat lamps strategically positioned. Pizzaoili prepared a Prix Fixe menu for guests of the Spiegel dinner party. We started with baskets of golden, flaky Italian bread dressed with generous amounts of bruschetta then pivoted to house salads which, candidly, would've rated higher had they been sprinkled with parmesan reggiano and/or black/red peppers. Guest then chose from a fixed menu list of four entrees, including: -Salmon with Roasted Seasonal Vegetables -Beef Lasagna -Chicken with Peppers served with Penne Alfredo -Linguine served with two sizable Meatballs My bride chose the lasagna while I opted for the Chicken and Peppers dish. The pasta was prepared al dented, the sauces with rich and creamy to the point of being superbly filling. Our wait staff, a dynamic duo of two ladies, did a masterful job in keeping the wines, coffees and diet cokes topped off. Restrooms were suitably clean and provisioned. If you like Italian, then add Pizzaoili to your collection of standouts. Also ideal for date night!

    Crème brûlée

    What's more romantic than Italian food on Valentine's Day? And there's only one place for us: Pizzaioli. Only the freshest, highest quality ingredients are used and each dish is crafted with attention to homemade, mouthwatering taste. Just look at the ooey, gooey, cheesy, meaty layers in the lasagna! The bread and bruschetta deserves its own bit o' love. The bread here is a softest, spongiest, comforting slice. Add on the bruschetta, and honestly I could just sit and devour breadbasket after breadbasket. Our drinks were romantically inspired specialty concoctions and absolutely delicious. Our server brought the love: friendly, attentive, and timely. We were in good hands under her attentions. We chose to sit outside on the heated, enclosed patio. The candlelight added to the ambiance. Romantic crooners filled the airwaves while we chatted, drank, ate, and enjoyed our delicious meals. Desserts were a sweet end to our lovely evening. The crème brûlée and tiramisu were delectably rich, creamy, and an oh-so-satisfying end to our wonderful night.

    Negroni... delightful

    Delicious Italian Sausage pizza along with a bright and tangy Caesar salad. It was a nice treat and plan to go back during and try their happy hours and brunch very soon! Kayla was friendly and attentive!

    Got invited for my friend birthday celebration here and we really had a great time here. The food is delicious. The pasta is cooked al dente, sauce is on point and the dough is fresh. For those who are looking for gluten free menu, they have some options for you as well. The service is great. The server is friendly and helpful. The ambiance is nice. They have outdoor seating area as well. Definitely will come back for more delicious Italian food!!

    It was our first time here and I right when we walked in the vibe is cozy. Nice jazz music playing. Cute for date night but just wish we got better service: Cons- no more complimentary bread. We paid $6 for COLD bread. We thought okay being an authentic Italian restaurant we'd get fresh and warm bread. Not today. I got the chicken Parmesan. Chicken and tomatoe sauce were lacking flavor. Service was not so great. Waitress and waiter were not very friendly. We kept having to get their attention and they'd walk right past us. Vibe just felt off. The waitress kept forgetting things we asked for. Mind you we went mid-day and restaurant was not packed at all. Customer service was poor! Pros-The lasagna was flavorful. Portions were a good size. Drinks were strong. Overall not sure if we'll be back, really didn't feel welcomed.

    We visited for Valentine's Day with a reservation and expected it to be busy, so there was a short wait before being seated. Despite how busy it was, the food quality was excellent and the service staff were amazing. We'll definitely be coming back soon.

    16" Pizza

    Food here is really good. Thai place has been in business for 30 years. I remember coming here in my 20's for a client lunch. It was great then and it is great now. The service here has always been great. This place gets busier and busier every time I come. It's dark here in the evening gives you a fine dining ambiance, during the day it is brighter. I tend to like this place right before the lunch or dinner rush as it leaves me to sip on my drink and just sit back and relax.

    Linguine & Meatballs
    Maggie C.

    Food was alright -- the Linguine and Meatballs and Tortellini Chicken were pretty salty. I like the fact they have outdoor seating so our pup was able to eat with us. Would've given this place a 4 stars but the suggested tip amount is based on the total not subtotal (see photo). Hate it when restaurants do tip like this because it's always based on the subtotal.

    Always delicious. I haven't been here in over 5 years but I'm glad to know the food is still just as amazing as it was the first time!

    The vegetable soup is delicious, along with prime rib, and breaded scallops. As always, their cocktails are good.

Would've gave 4 stars but please read below. Here's are the negatives about this restaurant: - They do not answer their phone for phone orders. The one time they did for me, they put me on hold and never got back to me. I drove there and pulled into the lot listening to the employee chatting with customers coworkers the whole drive there. - Their business hours are not very friendly because they close at 7pm. Who closes at 7pm? - Their business is closed every Wednesday. (Just like Chick-Fil-Fil, who we all want on Sundays when they're closed). - Most of the time, the wait in line and the wait for your food can take longer than you'd expect. Can't come here if you have any kind of time issue. - Obvious staffing issue. You have plenty of customers. Having one more employee would provide better and faster service. I believe that will create more repeat customers.

I'll start with the good, which was the service; I found our server to be very nice, attentive, and helpful with giving us recommendations throughout the night. However, I felt the food was very expensive for what we received, the portion sizes were not very big, and the overall quality was just not good. I noticed the flavors were mostly just salty and spicy, to the point where I couldn't really taste the intrinsic flavor of the seafood itself. I ordered the mixed seafood cocktail, but it had mostly lemon juice and tasted much more like a ceviche than a traditional cocktail. Most concerning of all, I could tell something was off with the seafood, and it ended up giving me a major upset stomach after eating here. Considering how much we paid for just 2 entrées, combined with the fact that it made me sick, it is highly unlikely that I will ever return.

    5/1/2026 Been so…read morelong since I've had a pan roast! I thought there weren't any more places that make pan roasts, but happy to have found one in Chino Hills! HOUSE PAN ROAST It tasted exactly what was expected. A creamy tomato soup consistency and flavor. Got level 2 or 3 for spice level. I wanted more of that creamy flavor, not spice. Any higher than 3 would be Tabasco level spice and up. Deliciously filled with shrimp, chopped scallops, small crab meat. I could taste the crab meat, which was all sitting at the bottom of the bowl. The scoop of jasmine rice with the creamy pan roast was comfort on another level. Got the small size, but it is enough for me. I do wish there were more shrimp and scallops and crab in the pan roast. I felt the scallops and crab were chopped too small and wished there was a bit more. But still I enjoyed the pan roast and would get it again. As an appetizer and accompaniment to the house pan roast, they bring a basket with three sliced breads and a side of butter. It's a light, soft bread with a bit of sour flavor. Didn't like it. I would have preferred dinner rolls. CUSTOMER SERVICE I arrived 1 hr before lunch closing time. It closes at 2:00pm and then re-opens for dinner at 5:00pm. But service was good! Only one server, but she checked back with everyone and all around better than most places I've been at recently. Lots of people came in 30-40 mins before closing time. Still, service was friendly and they weren't turned away. LOCATION At The Commons at Chino Hills. This is a large outdoor mall and have many parking spaces.

    Hey Jackson, Instead…read moreof giving me an imaginary prize for being relentless, I would much rather appreciate your business taking accountability for the really poor service I had to experience in order to get a basic refund as a result of a mistake that was clearly from your restaurant. I can definitely be more upfront about my dietary needs moving forward when ordering, but even your employee admitted over the phone that chicken is not automatically part of the item that I ordered. If your staff wanted to add chicken to an item that should be seafood only, perhaps they should have asked if I was okay with that. After communicating with your employee about my concerns, I realized that the mistake on the food was secondary compared to the horrendous service I experienced when I shared my concerns. In your reply, you failed to mention anything regarding customer service that I mentioned, so let me say these facts again. I was hung up on several times over the phone, ignored multiple times when I showed up in person the next day, pressured to sign a claims release in order to get the refund, then was told I was an inconvenience to your business. Another fact is I lost my appetite after tasting your food yet was essentially called a liar when I came in the next day because I didn't appear sick to your employee. I cannot believe that is how your employee was allowed to treat a customer and I honestly hope you had a serious conversation with them. For the record, I was signed out of my main account for several months and did leave a review on a temporary account. Once I gained access to my main account, the review on my temporary account got deleted because that account got deleted. I operate on only one account and needed to re-write any reviews that got deleted. Looks like someone reported my review for your business, so I did revise it to better follow yelp's guidelines. Therefore, it is absolutely not an exact duplicate of the previous review. The real impact here is not only the loss of appetite, but also how I was treated after I raised concerns. It really was one of the most horrendous experience with restaurant staff. I will never again feel comfortable stepping inside your restaurant that is careless enough to scoop an item that was already made with chicken in it instead of making a fresh one with only seafood then try to pressure a customer to sign a claims release to protect yourselves. Nice try, but I'm not falling for that and neither should anyone else.
