Best Italian Restaurants in Pico Rivera

I really wanted to love this restaurant specially because of all the good reviews and awards that it has but for me it was a 6 out of 10. Let me explain why, service was good not great we asked for wine twice and the first time she brought us water bottle and then the second time she only brought my partner his glass. The restaurant wasn’t crowded to say it was too loud or noisy just think she wasn’t paying attention. First plate was good second plate was ok she forgot to mention it had pieces of sardines :/ not my fav but I tried it. Third plate which is their famous pasta, looked different it was a green sauced pasta with no protein. Third plate was the Brussels sprouts I was expecting crispy but they were a little water downed. Lastly dessert was apple cake, it was good. The overall presentation is good it’s the old warehouse look with valet parking, nothing too special and prices were decent.

First time there and waiter was great about recommending all the classics. Great when a restaurant can do a good/different Cesar salad. Food was amazing. We’ll be back!

I have visited other North Italia locations and have always enjoyed them. The Cerritos location was no different. Our server was excellent. She was attentive, efficient, kind, and energetic. She made sure we enjoyed our experience and was on top of everything before we could even ask.

Food was very good, with interesting options for brunch. Presentation was outstanding. Once the restaurant got busy, the noise level was distracting, detracting from the ambiance.

Excellent experience. Food was flavorful, colorful, and everyone enjoyed their dish. The appetizers were superb. And the service was wonderful. I was celebrating my birthday and they treated me kindly.
