Wow this place is so delicious! First visit was yesterday for Valentine's Day and there was a set menu at $125 per person, we got a welcome glass of champagne and a rose and the whole meal was five courses. We had Samantha as our server and she was great, very friendly and attentive. We also enjoyed the server who came over to offer fresh Parmesan cheese and pepper for our food. I ordered a mocktail which was citrusy and fruity very delicious. My husband love his Cabernet wine too. For our starters we chose the ahi tuna and the crab risotto. Both were absolutely delicious, very flavorful and the risotto was warm and you could taste all the fresh ingredients. The salad was included for both is us and in my opinion was the best part of the five courses. The flavors were so beautifully incorporated and they went perfectly together. The chef outdid themselves with this salad. The next course was the raviolis. Both were so good! The lobster option was full of lobster meat and a beautiful sauce. The black truffle ravioli was warm and delicious I just loved it. The main entree of the roasted trumpet mushrooms was pretty good, they were super thick mushrooms almost thick like a steak and the sauces paired pretty well too. The halibut was amazing! Before ever tasting it, I could smell how fresh and clean and well cooked it was & when I ate it omg so good. The final course was the dessert. The best part was the tiramisu in my opinion, the tart was ok and the chocolate mouse was decent. I can't wait to come back in and try other menu items. read more

Came here to have dinner with a reservation at 715. Got seated at 720. The hostess had a rude demeanor. Although it took 20 mins for the waitress to get our orders. She was a good server. Excellent memory, very polite. Our food took 1 HOUR to be served. I ordered the halibut on the special menu. The halibut wasn't anything special. It had an uneven sear and it cost $50! Not worth the hour wait. It was Seasoned well. And the sauce was decent. veggies were a little overcooked. But overall not worth the price. It also took 20 mins for the check to arrive. They had live entertainment as far as the ambiance goes. The live entertainment deserves 5 stars. Because of the long wait and the food not meeting the expectation I do not plan on returning. read more

I've never been to Italy, but I imagine this is as close as it gets. I can easily say Gourmet Italia is the best Italian restaurant I've been to. The menu is simple and pasta is featured heavily, which only makes every dish that much better. If I lived closer I would make it a goal to try every single offering. The first time my wife and I went there was 20 years ago. At the time, it was a tiny restaurant in a strip mall. While it's still in the strip mall it has expanded, but it's just as busy and just as good as it was 20 years ago. Although we go to Temecula often, it's not easy to get reservations at Gourmet Italia. This past weekend I was lucky to get one. I ended up getting both specials, an amazing butternut squash soup that was perfectly creamy and sweet, as well as a healthy portion of seafood pasta with massive amounts of mussels, clams, squid, and a jumbo prawn. I was so stuffed I didn't even have room for dessert. To be honest, my wife's spaghetti with pancetta may have been the best thing I tasted that night. If you live within an hour of Temecula, or are visiting, you need to make a reservation at Gourmet Italia. I can't wait till my next visit. BTW, 20 years ago the owner made our experience amazing with his enthusiasm and clear love for his restaurant. He still does, with a little less hair on his head, but he is still amazing. He sat us at an awesome table and shook my hand as we left, thanking us, clearly proud of what he provided to us. He should be proud and he deserves nothing but more success. read more

What a beautiful Italian restaurant in Temecula. This is my first visit at Gourmet Italia for a Friendsgiving with San Diego Yelpers. There were 12 of us. Thanks Janet T for the lovely evening. Ordered: Spaghetti Amatriciana-Pancetta and onion in a spicy marinara sauce Soda I substitute Pancetta with Chicken. It was charged extra to replace the meat. They served complimentary bread with dipping sauce. The pasta was flavorful and delicious. I added crushed peppers to kick up the knot. Tiramisu was absolutely delicious with a perfect sweetness. Both the owner and server, Jeremy, were super amazing and welcoming! Before heading out for the evening, there was beautiful band playing for the night at the bar area. Highly recommend this place. Perfect spot for any occasions and even for a romantic date. The menu is priced high, but I will definitely come back in the near future. read more

After day of wine tasting, our family were in the mood for Italian. Finding this restaurant nearby on Yelp was a godsend. We called ahead for reservation, and they were able to accommodate our large party of 12. The place itself was very nice and classy with white tablecloth, dim and intimate lighting. We got seated in back section of restaurant and had our own private room. Our family can get a little loud when we are all together, so this was perfect setup. I thought service was a little slow in the beginning, but soon as we ordered and got our food, everything was fine. Staff were friendly and welcoming. For appetizers, Calamari Fritti was fresh and perfectly prepared, paired well with the marinara sauce. The Cozze e Patatine (mussels in white wine garlic sauce) was delicious and comforting. Though the crispy fries were nice, I would have preferred bread with it for soaking up the delicious broth. Both Bruschetta alla Siciliana and Carpaccio di Bue were solid dishes and on point as well. Their beet salad was really refreshing. Candied walnuts, blue cheese and Balsamic vinegar do wonders for salad. As for entrees, we got the special Seafood Pescatore and it was amazing. Kind of reminds me of cioppino, but with less sauce. The delicious ensemble consisted of shrimp, mussels, calamari, and clams. The Tomahawk special was excellent and cooked to perfection. It was served on a huge cutting board with mashed potatoes, sauteed mushrooms and vegetables. Everyone enjoyed the Ziti baked with bolognese sauce (Pasta al Forno della Zia al Sugo di Carne) and Capellini alla Checca (spaghetti pasta - Fresh tomatoes, garlic, fresh basil, and Poggio Leano Olive Oil). We had Spumoni bomba and Pistachio Profiteroles for dessert. Both had ice cream in them and was perfect way to cap off our evening. I enjoyed Spumoni bomba more then Profiteroles for its crisp chocolate shell. Overall, some very solid Italian food. Good portion and reasonable price too. Highly recommend! read more

We were invited by a great friend to try this awesome restaurant. Wow, what a great Italian restaurant. As soon as we stepped inside, we can feel the nice decor and atmosphere. Very elegant and upscale. Please note, this is a very popular restaurant. Reservation is highly recommended for large group. Our server Jeremy was very friendly and welcoming. Made us feel right at home. Great hospitality! There were 11 of us all together. For me, I ordered the following: - Fusilli Calabrese (Chicken, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes in a light tomato cream sauce) As a group we ordered the following to share: - Calamari Fritti w/ Cherry Peppers We end the evening with the: - Tiramisu The Fusilli Calabrese was so good. Loved the mushrooms and the sun-dried tomatoes. The light tomato cream sauce was very tasty. Goes well with the pasta. As for the Calamari Fritti, wow, it was so so good. Our friend said this dish is very good, and she wasn't wrong. Glad we decided to order this item to share. Will definitely get this item again in the future. The Tiramisu was very delicious. Not too sweet. Melt in your mouth. What a great evening! Glad we had the opportunity to try this place. Had a great time and meeting new friends! Thanks Janet for the invite! read more

Gourmet Italia - Pesto gnocchi - Italian Near Me - Temecula, California

How the heck have I never written a review for this place before?? I've been coming here for years. One of my favorite places for pasta. My go to is always the seafood pasta. I'm usually a light white or wine sauce pasta girl, but the tomato sauce on there is so good. I'm obsessed with their complimentary olive tapenade & bread. I once tried to order something else & ordered their pasta carbonara. But I thought it was too rich. But I'll always come here for their seafood pasta & their olive tapenade. Service is always great, & we do enjoy the live music sometimes. read more

Honestly one of best meals we've had in this area. Service was quickly, friendly, and amazing. Our server recommended a blueberry mojito mocktail drink for me and it was delicious! We celebrated having family come to town and our baby announcement. Everyone's plate was tasty and cooked extremely well. My husband and MIL ordered their lobster ravioli (special), my FIL ordered their lasagne, and I ordered their seafood pasta (special) - everything was amazing and cooked perfectly. To share, we had the bruschetta, and it's probably one of the best bruschetta we've ever had. At the end, our server provided us with a complimentary cannoli - she was so sweet and thoughtful. The restaurant is really cozy inside and had different seating areas. Really great for a casual dinner, date night, celebration, etc. read more

Unfortunately I was disappointed with my dining experience. To start, the host was not friendly at all. Whoever she is, she needs to fix her attitude. It's not cute. Second, the food took about 45 minutes...and it was okay. Our waitress was great though and so was the live music. read more

I'm a repeat customer here and always order the bruschetta and Fusilli Calabrese. The bruschetta is AMAZING! I order at least two of these to share. The tomatoes are bursting with flavor, and the bread is the perfect texture. I get a sense they prefer that you make a reservation, but I have walked in more often than not. I know they will seat you on the "red" side or the "white" side, and it can be kind of a maze inside, but I love the food so much that this place is a regular spot after wine tasting in Temecula. Service can be slow - so be prepared for that to happen. I also love the Poggio wine and usually order a bottle of the Syrah for the table. read more

Fantastic service very romantic atmosphere and the food was absolutely delicious. I am Italian so I definitely approve of this place and would recommend anyone going to Temecula. Our waitress was Hailey L. She was very attentive, kind and generous an, over-the-top waitress that really did her job and made our night even more enjoyable. The food makes a place great but attentive service that is served makes the food and the establishment attractive to go back to. We had the specials, the seafood Linguini and the lobster ravioli. Both were really tasty and we ended the night when some sort of lemon dessert which was incredible . read more

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner! Located in a big plaza so parking was relatively easy. Staff was nice and accommodating. Restaurant itself is large and provided ample seating! The calamari was my favorite part of the dinner! The breading was perfect, perfectly salty, and the sauce was delicious! I ordered the fettuccine bolognese with a side of meatballs. I thought it was just OK. I tried their squid ink pasta with scallops and was upset I didn't order that instead! read more

We liked this Italian restaurant in Temecula. The ambiance was nice, the food and drinks were really good and the service was excellent. The only issue was the noise level (evening, Saturday). The live band was awesome but it was too loud and we couldn't hear each other at all. Maybe they can turn the volume down a little so patrons can hear each other? Otherwise it was perfect! read more

This place is a hidden gem, you would never guess how lovely it is on the inside just by looking at it from the outside. The atmosphere is so great and really adds to the whole experience. Having a piano player there just made it feel even more special. If you're looking for some real Italian food, this is definitely the spot. I highly recommend checking it out! Food is too die for! Charcuterie board is the way to go for Antipasto. Spinach Ravioli is excellent. Love the Olive tapenade for the bread! Carfe of water on table at all times. Extensive specials of the night! Dessert menu out of this world! Customer Sevice is great! Will definitely come back!! read more

First time to this restaurant, my family ordered the seafood pasta, it was amazing delicious. Everyone was friendly. I 100% recommended it

I did not know this place existed! I've been to the coffee shop next door. I've been to 88 Ranch Market and never seen this. Thanks to fellow Yelper extraordinaire, Janet, who invited a bunch of Yelpies for a Friendsgiving dinner on a Saturday night, I have now discovered a gem! Parking can be a bear on a Saturday night but it's possible. Definitely reserve a table beforehand or you will be waiting. There were 12 of us and without the reservation it would've been impossible to get in. I was the last to arrive and it was difficult getting the attention of the front desk. Thankfully another guest noticed I was lost. She pointed me toward the direction of the table which was tucked far away in the back. This place is bigger than I thought. There's a antique style part and a larger, modern addition. I will say our waiter, Jeremy did a great job handling all the Yelp Elites at this table. We can be a handful. He also helpers who brought out the food and cleared the table. I am giving it 4 stars for the lasagna. It wasn't my favorite. The price point for it was very high. It was mushy. I did try my friends lamb chop and out was fire. I don't normally eat lamb but this was cooked to perfection. I also got the Gourmet salad. The salad was very good. My teen got fettuccine Alfredo. She said some of the pasta was al dente. She does not like hard pasta. I guess you have to clarify here. The highlight of our evening was the owner came by to every table. He's a hoot. We even got a picture with him and our table. I would give it another try next time but ditch the lasagne. read more

Will definitely make an over night trip to enjoy this place and some vino! read more

We've always loved the food here, which is why this experience was so disappointing. The house band was playing and my husband was simply singing along and enjoying the music when the owner abruptly told him he was "too much." It felt rude and unnecessary. What made it worse is that we had invited out-of-town guests with us and the moment was embarrassing. A lively Italian restaurant should feel fun and welcoming, not uncomfortable. The food is still excellent and the service staff were kind, but the owner's arrogant and controlling attitude really put a damper on the evening. Hospitality matters just as much as the food. (I did tell the Owner how I felt and of course he denied it.) read more

This experience was underwhelming to say the least. Atmosphere - gives you a slightly elevated environment, loved having the piano playing. Service - started out great when we were one of the only tables but our server had 2 larger parties + an additional 2-3 tables sit and we felt forgotten. We ordered to apps quickly and had a major lag time on evening order entrees. We had to ask for drinks to be refilled, my pregnant friend requested for additional items repeatedly. Food - the menu didn't wow me. I ordered the Fusilli Calabrese (chicken, mushrooms with fusilli pasta and a red cream sauce) - it was just ok. Nothing great- it lacked flavor and the cream sauce just wasn't my style. My pregnant friend order a Spaghetti Carbonara, the menu states it's supposed to include Pancetta, instead if included a meat that was not edible. It was so tough she couldn't chew it. She had to return her plate. The best thing I ate were their assorted roasted vegetables. Between the lack of service + the returned dish our dinner ended up lasting over 3 hours for 3 of us. Overall cost was fine, about $170 for 2 apps, 3 entrees, 3 non alcoholic beverages. If the food would have been better on the execution I may have considered coming back. read more

Food: 4.5 Service: 4 Ambiance: 4 I've been to this strip mall so many times and somehow never realized Gourmet Italia was tucked away there. From the outside it's easy to miss, but the moment you walk in, you're transported somewhere completely different: dark, cozy, sultry, and full of ambiance. The first time I visited was for a dinner with 12 Temecula yelpers (thanks Janet for putting this together!), and I was really excited to try the place with them. It was dinner time and extremely crowded, but thankfully we had a reservation. There was live music, which added a fun energy, even though we were seated in a different room. The service was great, and the gentleman who helped us was very attentive. I ordered the lamb shank, which was absolutely delicious -- fall-apart tender and full of flavor. The friend next to me ordered the lamb chops, which were also cooked beautifully. All the plates around the table looked amazing and well-prepared. For dessert, we shared the tiramisu, which was rich, creamy, and very filling. I also ordered a glass of Cabernet, and it paired perfectly with my meal. We really enjoyed our time there, so much so that I ended up returning a few weeks later for lunch with a friend. The service during lunchtime wasn't quite as good as dinner, but still acceptable and the food remained excellent. I ordered the seafood pasta, which was outstanding and is now one of my favorites. Overall, Gourmet Italia has quickly become one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Temecula. read more

We made a reservation weeks in advance for three people at 5:30 pm, knowing the restaurant would be busy since it was valentines weekend. At no point during the reservation process were we informed of a time limit. In total, we were there for about an hour. When we arrived, everything started off great. We were seated on time, had good service, ordered drinks and food quickly, and enjoyed our meal. After finishing dinner, we ordered another round of drinks and were looking at the dessert menu. At that point, the owner came over and told us we would need to finish our drinks at the bar because there was a long wait for other guests. I agreed, assuming that was fine. However, when our server returned, she apologized and brought our check. I explained that the owner had said we could finish our drinks at the bar, but she told us there were no available spots. When I asked where we were supposed to have the drinks we had just ordered, she informed us that the owner had canceled them so we could close out and leave. The way this was handled felt abrupt and unwelcoming, especially since we had a reservation, were never told of a time limit, and were actively ordering more items. What started as a positive experience ended in a very rude and disappointing way. read more

I had the lobster ravioli and it was super good--rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Of course, I had to finish with a cannoli, and it did not disappoint. This place clearly lives up to the many great reviews it has. Parking was easy and plentiful, which is always a plus. Inside, the atmosphere is very romantic. The melted wax on the tables adds such a unique and cozy touch, and the red room really gives off classic Italian vibes. Our waiter, Nadia, was amazing--very knowledgeable about the menu and explained the item of the day in detail, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back to try their lunch. read more

Thank you for accommodating our large group. We had made a reservation and even add to it when we were seated. We loved the atmosphere and the wonderful vibes. Everyone was lovely, so attentive and kind, especially our waiter Jeramy! He was great from the start! We were a group of 11 and enjoyed every minute of our time here. We started off with the calamari and gourmet italia salad. Both of which were fresh and just what we expected. Then our entrees came and what a feast. My lamb chops were wonderful and it was a full rack and with mashed potatoes and a mushroom gravy that was delish! My friend next to me ordered another house special, the braised lamb shank. She also loved her meal! It was all so much food. To the right of me,they ordered the lasagna and Alfredo, so tasty. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals and some delicious tiramisu to round out our meal. Thank you for a wonderful evening! read more

Italian run restaurant just on the other side of old town Temecula. The ambiance is intimate, but has a very comforting atmosphere at the same time. Decor reminds you of the furniture and pictures you'd see at your grandparents (nonna's) house. The reservation my friends and I made were at 8:30 on Sunday evening, so being we didn't come during the height of dinner rush we were sat immediately, and everything we ordered came out quite quickly. For starters I had the Insalata fattore. The tomato and mozzarella were lightly seasoned but very fresh. It was a very tasty salad and was a pretty decent portion size as well. My only complaint is the menu claims there are Kalamata olives in the dish, but I didn't see nor taste any which was a bummer. For my entree I opted for the classic Bolognese. Very hearty meat sauce with fresh made noodles, and again was a decent portion so definitely expect to get full. The waitress who recommended the dish did mention that she usually adds red pepper flakes to offset the sweeter aftertaste you get with this dish, which I should've asked for & definitely will tell you readers to do, but even without it was a well executed dish. If you're a pasta lover like me I think you'll really enjoy Gourmet Italia. If you're a first time visitor of the Temecula area though just be sure to make an earlier reservation, so that you can also drive over and walk/shop around old town before the sun sets. read more

The food is absolutely excellent here, but can use a lot of work regarding service. The bartender Celene has no business being a bartender at all. My husband and I were sitting at the bar until our table was ready and she kept pushing us to eat dinner at the bar. After she got our drinks, we had asked for some water. 15 minutes had gone by and still no water so we asked for the water again. She completely ignored us the entire time we were sitting there and never got us our water. She was so rude that the other guest were complaining about her. Why is she there? It's such a great place and great vibe that one person can truly ruin the entire experience. Please consider replacing her. read more

First of all when you walk in and you see the way that the napkins are folded, I was just amazed by that. Call me easily entertained, but I thought their napkins were really cool! Anyway, the decor in here is really amazing but so is the food and the service was great! A local told us to go here and I'm so glad they did. We ended up splitting the pasta with the meat and the sauce, and I forget what it was called but it was so dang good! See the picture attached. Next time I'm in Temecula, I'll definitely come back. read more

Tonight my husband and I had date night at this restaurant, I ordered a glass of red wine, 20 minutes after ordering midway through my dinner I had to ask the server hey can you bring that glass of cab that I ordered? He asked me if I wanted Parmesan on my pasta I said yes he never came back by the time I was done with dinner, I asked him to put the Parmesan on my pasta and packed the rest to go. The owner of the restaurant could be seen micromanaging all the employees as if they weren't running around enough, the staff is over worked and the owner needs to help, the owner came to my table to clear dishes never say hello how was the food? Nothing just took the dishes away without saying anything, service is lackluster. read more

Gourmet Italia could easily be on "Kitchen Nightmares." Pretty good food hampered by the worst service I can remember in years. To that point, this will be my first true one star review in a long time. To set the stage, my dad made reservations for 7:30 for 8 for my mom's birthday. We came to Temecula as a destination and none of us lived particularly close. We arrived at the restaurant at 7;25 and were met with hostility. My mom (the birthday girl) was scolded for going in the wrong door to the restaurant (though there was no signage indicate you couldn't use it) and my dad and I were rather curtly told our table wasn't ready and we couldn't stand near the host stand. Time passed, 40 minutes in fact. At 8:05, 35 minutes after our reservation we began thinking they had been lying to us about having a table "almost ready". We scoured the restaurant and found only one table big enough to suit the party and then applied a bit of pressure asking the host stand why it is taking so long. Finally at 8:10, 40 minutes late. We were seated. The night progressed from bad to worse. We were informed many items were not available on the menu (including a Caesar salad, multiple beers, and some appetizer type items) and then had a confusing interaction over the specials. Our waitress told us the specials included a filet. When I ordered the chop (another special) the "manager" came around and informed me they were out of that too, so I asked for the filet. I was told they didn't have a filet by her. So I ordered lasagna. Then our waitress came back and said they did in fact have a filet. In the end I did get the filet... Which brings me to my next problem. Dinner took 70 minutes to arrive! So at 9:20 pm, almost 2 hours after we arrived, we had got dinner. During this time, the restaurant cleared out, and people coming near our table were few and far between. It felt like we were just forgotten about. We contemplated ordering DoorDash because we truly didn't know what was going on. Multiple times we had to go back to the kitchen and try to find somebody to check on the status of our meal. Even the band who was playing packed and left. When the food came out, it was good. Generally no big complaints other than the quality of a few of the items felt a bit cheap (e.g. gristle in the filet). But the notion of being nearly the last table in the restaurant, with a crying 2 year old an hour past his bed time, alone in a corner, really hampered the taste of any food and cast a shadow on my mom's birthday. The insult to injury came at the end. No discount or concession was offered. The only thing they offered was a free dessert, which we politely declined as my dad had a custom cake for my mom waiting at home. They forced the dessert on us however... and didn't even give us enough places or utensils to eat it with! My dad graciously tipped the waitress the full 20% as she was quite apologetic and seemingly embarrassed by the hellacious service. She took down my dad's number to have to owner/manager call and "make thighs right." They never did. If you are a party of 2 or 4 and want some good, Olive Garden grade food, Gourmet Italia may be for you. But otherwise, steer clear. This is an embarrassment to the restaurant industry.
