    Grabbed some lunch with the wifey after our wine pick up. We were seated right away. Great vibes & good food. One of our favorites....

    If you need gluten free, they have you covered

    Filippi's is a great Family owned pizza place. They have been around since 1950 and every location that they have is owned by various relatives of the same family. It is a Family atmosphere when you visit, they treat you like you're coming for Sunday dinner. Very nice , great attentive service. I always like to support Family owned businesses, but when the food is amazing it is that much better. Now to the food, they have lunch specials as well as a regular menu. I got the 10" mushroom pizza lunch special, small garden salad and a Pepsi. Their website is realcheesepizza.com, I believe that it holds true, the cheese is so gooey, stretchy and full of flavor. I love their crust as well, all around an excellent pie. The salad comes with some fresh baked bread as well as a generous portion of dressing, blue cheese is my fav and it is delicious, but do yourself a favor, get it on the side, otherwise you may find it a bit too much dressing. But either way, a great salad and dressing combo. Drinks are bottomless. They were rated as the #1 pizza in America in 2013 and featured on Good Morning America, I would agree, they make some great pizza here. I had more than half my pizza left and half my bread and left completely full and happy. Looking forward to tomorrow's leftovers! Go support them at this location or any of their locations. Pizza, Pasta, salads, drinks, wine, beer, etc. with a Family vibe. Great spot. Enjoy!

    I must come here at least weekly with my mom or my husband. I love this place! The salad here is so fresh, the pizza here oh my goodness! The Works is my fav, but let me tell yall.... I love to order it as a CALZONE! Yes they sure will hook up a calzone Works pizza and make sure to ask for it well done so it's not soggy. It is so yummy and crispy and heavenly! You will just be on cloud 9! Walking on heaven! I promise you!! Oh and I always order a Diet Pepsi since I'm watching girlish figure. :-) The service is excellent and somehow I always get my favorite window table. I've been to several of the Filippi's locations. The Temecula location is our favorite. Norco is a close second. Little Italy in San Diego is a 3rd, Kearny Mesa in San Diego 4th, Chula Vista 5th and probably last place Mira Mesa. Not all Filippi's are equal, their menus and ways of preparation seem slightly different. But as long as good ole Temecula has my favs I'm GUCCI!! Thank you Temecula Filippi's for being my go to comfort Italian food spot!

    Second time here. I liked the foods last time but not quite this time. We ordered the Works pizza (dough tasted like baking soda?), lunch spaghetti (comes with bread and salad) and a kids marinara spaghetti. I have tried better pasta dishes but the bread that with the spaghetti meal was to-die for. Place is spacious, kid-friendly and seems pretty busy even after lunch on a Friday. Our server was great though. I'll probably give it another shot!

    Shrimp flippi and Fettuccine Alfredo

    The fettuccine taste like milk noodles and the shrimp flippi had no flavor just oil noodles

    My family & I used to come here back in the 2000s almost every other weekend before we moved to TX. I came back recently with my bf and it was the same as before We shared a medium pepperoni pizza, 2 salads (we could've shared one) and our own drinks. Pizza was so good and filling, service was great! Can't wait to be back in Temecula next summer & eat here again

    Ordered take out pizza and antipasto salad and when we got home, we were so disappointed with the $17 salad. It was unappealing to say the least. The veggies were not fresh so my family just picked off the deli meat on top. First thing in the morning, I called to explain the situation and the girl told me to bring in my payment card for a refund. Later that day, I went in and unfortunately encountered the most rude, unprofessional person named Martha. She treated me like a criminal and said "who did you talk to?" I didn't get her name I told her. She said did they write your name down? I said "I don't know." She then asked me if I have the invoice. Invoice I said and she further explained the yellow slip. I imagine she meant the greasy, yellow piece of receipt they stick inside the pizza box. I told her no as those always get thrown away. Finally, she said I'll do it this time but next time, you will need to have something more. She further told me that I should let her staff know what to do next time because they should have written my name down. Me? I said that sounds like a you problem not a me problem. I told her she didn't need to be so rude and nasty about it, especially if she's a manager. She further explained that she's not a manager and that her sister owned the restaurant for 30 years. I said you do work here right and get a paycheck? She said, "no I do not get paid." Well, I hope the owner, your sister will be happy knowing she just lost a long time customer because of her wicked sister who should not be interacting with any of the patrons. I can only imagine how she treats the employees. Martha eventually gave me a cash refund but not in a pleasant way and ZERO apology or effort to try and make things right. I left so upset and could not believe that just happened.

    Filippi's great Italian restaurant in Temecula!

    I ordered a takeout for lunch and ordered Lasagna. I must tell you it was a lot! I had to share mine! It was delicious and savory! I even got a fresh baked bread roll. They still got it!! After all these years! I've have been going to this restaurant for at l least 10+ years! The staff is always friendly and smiling and acknowledging me, their valued return customer. Which puts a great big smile on my face!! Always packed for lunch. And the place still spotless even in the waiting area. If you're looking for a home cooked Italian meal, go to Filippi's in Temecula!

    "Feast For Two" - now available Sunday thru Thursday.
    Harold S.

    Recently went here for dinner on a Sunday evening. We had the "Feast For Two" for $32.95 and shared it between three people. Even though the sign on the window indicates that this special is only available Monday through Thursday, we were told it is now also available on Sundays. We had plenty of leftovers, so I'm sure it could easily even feed four people. I thought the food was delicious and the service was very attentive. For this price you absolutely cannot beat it!

My husband and I really enjoyed YARD HOUSE. We had the Poke Nachos ( 5 STARS ) and 4 cheese Spinach dip ( 5 STARS ) The all cheese pizza was good but a little skimpy on the cheese. I'd say only 2/3 of the pizza had cheese on it. (3 STARS ) The seared ahi was ok. Personally, we prefer it raw and cold so searing took away some of the goodness. Ariana was our server. She is definitely a 5 STAR PLUS PLUS PLUS!!!!!! All in all, I would come back! Prices are more than fair for the amount of food you get during HAPPY HOUR. 3-6 M-F I would venture to say, a little pricey for me to pay full price. If you have kids with you, I strongly recommend HAPPY HOUR. It's so worth the money 100% recommend YARD HOUSE in TEMECULA CA.

Parking was super easy -- you can park in the structure and enjoy a beautiful walk through the promenade (which I actually loved). We went during lunchtime and it was perfect -- no wait at all and we got seated outside right away. The outdoor seating was amazing with fresh air and such a great atmosphere. Our waitress was incredibly nice and very attentive. She took our order quickly, brought our drinks right away, and made sure everything was perfect. Now the food... WOW. The garlic shiitake noodles with Parmesan cheese were absolutely AMAZING -- so flavorful and comforting. I also ordered the poke nachos and they were delicious, especially the sauce they drizzle on top (so good!). And of course, the cheeseburger was bomb.com -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The customer service here is top tier -- everyone was friendly and welcoming, which really made the experience even better. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. I totally recommend Yard House and can't wait to come back!

We rolled in on a Saturday afternoon to celebrate a friend's birthday and left with full bellies, big smiles, and zero regrets. We went full send on the menu and ordered the mini burger sliders, whipped espresso french toast (excuse me?? SO good), fried chicken Benny, and a smashburger. Every single thing was a hit and the portions are absolutely massive. Like, come hungry. Seriously. The service was speedy, friendly, and just all around great. No long waits, no wrong orders, just good vibes all around. We snagged a table on the patio and honestly the people-watching alone is worth the visit. Old Town does not disappoint as a backdrop. AND THEN. At the end of the meal our server came out with a dessert drink float topped with a sparkler, completely on the house, just to celebrate our friend's birthday. We sang Happy Birthday right there on the patio and it was the cutest thing ever. That kind of thoughtfulness is what keeps us coming back! 1909 is the move for birthdays, brunches, or just a random Saturday when you want great food and even better energy. 10 out of 10, no notes!

Orders were placed for refreshments, appetizers, waters, etc. Within 20 mins food began to be delivered with no names/descriptions of the beverage or plate being delivered. Our group was left navigating who ordered what and determine what beer was what and finding the correct owner. Dinner plates delivered no place settings at the table, no condiments (ketchup) and no drinks for more than half of the table. That lefts us going to the bar to retrieve our own cutlery.... Going to the bar to request our waters and our sodas... even after three attempts to ask for our drinks (water, lemonade, soda) the drinks weren't brought out.
