- SSusanOrange County •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe were celebrating my mom’s heavenly birthday with my dad and siblings. Such a perfect evening, shared a bottle of wine and had the delicious cauliflower appetizer. I had a seafood pasta, my siblings ordered chicken dishes and my dad got the surf and turf. Everything was exquisite. We finished off dinner with some sorbet for the women and a Mexican coffee for the men. Overall such a great night. Restaurant was lively and lots of laughter. Just what we needed to celebrate my mom.More infoDelizie Ristorante & BarPrice: Moderate• Italian• Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita•4.9
- CCalvinOrange County •6 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoEaster lunch with the family. It had been at least 5 years since I had been here. I remember many of the dishes were extremely salty last few times we had been here. Decided to give it another try and was pleasantly surprised overall. Carpaccio- 5/5 - Good flavor and balance with capers and geeens Bread 5/5 - nice and warm with a soft inside and crunchy outside Carbonara 4/5- Well cooked Al dente pasta with above average flavors Chicken Marsala - 2/5 dry chicken with lackluster sauce. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were also lacking flavor and very average Ambiance was nice. Loud table of several families with very young loud kids next to us but overall a pleasant time and experience.More infoBrio Italian Grille - Irvine - Spectrum CenterPrice: Moderate• Italian• Irvine•3.8
