Barbecue chicken pizza and meat lovers
Delilah M.

Not only was the whole place cozy and adorable, the food was amazing and the staff were polite and attentive. We got a medium pizza with half barbecue chicken and half meat lovers and they were delicious, you can see we ate the whole pizza. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Jyro sandwich
Sahar S.

Delicious food & great service. The pizza & Gyro sandwich are amazing! I strongly suggest this place. The ambiance & service are exceptional.

Garlic Cheese Bread

Just discovered Pizza Amore in San Juan Capistrano this past weekend. This little cafe is adorable. When we walked in there was a gentleman playing the banjo which added to this fun atmosphere. We were lucky enough to be able to sit inside. We ordered some Garlic Cheese Bread, which comes with a side of sauce which pleased my husband. I ordered the personal vegetable pizza and my husband ordered the personal pepperoni pizza. All our food was outstanding. We meet the owner, who is a nice man. The amount of repeat customers picking up food really says something about this cafe. Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Atmosphere 5++/5

This place is warm, cozy, and welcoming! The decor is was beautiful with lights, a fireplace, and bookcases with encyclopedias which gave it a nice touch. The food was delicious and everything was made fresh and from scratch. The owner Nima was kind and made sure we felt at home. Everything was top tier, and I rather come to this place to eat than go downtown! Come and enjoy this fantastic restaurant with food made from love and passion. Thank you, Nima for making this an enjoyable experience. I will definitely be back with my friends!

Beautiful restaurant with a classy vibe and exceptional pizza. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and the staff treated us with such kindness and respect.

Delicioso!

Best pizza ever and I should know. I've had my share of pizza from Philly to Italy and now luckily for me, close by, at The Pizza Amore Cafe in San Juan Capistrano.

Patio area looking into the adorable restaurant.

What a cute little place! The food was delicious and the people working here are very friendly. And you can't beat the ambience. There was also plenty of parking as it is part of a shopping center with its own parking lot. I wish there was a kids menu, although the personal pan pizza was a good enough size to share between two kids. The cheesy garlic bread was amazinggggg. We for sure will be back next time we're nearby.

Better than Pizza Hut! Very cheese and authentic! Hot and not greasy. Yum yum yum!!!!! Many toppings too! Will comeback for sure! - @Dannyijbol

Came here because of the reviews, ordered 1 large pineapple pepperoni, ended up ordered ANOTHER one size M to go. It was that delicious. If you are a pizza person, this is the spot that will scratch that fluffy pizza itch.

Great food with outstanding quality, excellent service, and fantastic drinks. The owner is truly a great person who makes the experience even better.

Wife ordering from the owner! What a great experience.

If you can, try the warm smoked almonds and olives; they're smoked perfection with bright lemon zest and paired beautifully with whatever you're having. The food throughout was absolutely delicious, with thoughtful, elevated small plates that felt refined. The standout on the spring menu? Those beef Wellington puffs--tender filet mignon wrapped in golden, flaky pastry and served with Dijonnaise!! They were rich, elegant, and utterly irresistible; we couldn't stop reaching for more. 3rd order anyone?! What truly made the night special was the team. From the moment we walked in, the knowledgeable staff was genuinely helpful and enthusiastic, guiding us through their wine selections with thoughtful recommendations that perfectly complemented each dish. Their passion turned a lovely dinner into a memorable experience--approachable yet refined. Highly recommend for a special night out. We left smiling, a bit fuller, and already planning to come back. Five stars!

This was the perfect place for our girl dinner!…read more Mayfield whips up the most inventive, delicious, and beautiful looking plates! Their food is rooted in Levantine cuisine which comes from the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. Everything was too too good! We got the Baba Ganoush with Bread, Batata Harra Thousand Layered Potatoes, and Grilled Cabbage. The Baba Ganoush is a an eggplant puree with crushed pistachios. Such a gorgeous savory dip. Their house-made bread is a must-get to pair! Super fluffy and toasted to perfection. The Batata Harra Thousand Layered Potatoes were my personal favorite. The potatoes were sooo crispy and the sauce (made of labneh yogurt, chili, and lemon) that it came with had me licking up very last bit. Lastly, don't sleep on their Grilled Cabbage! It was served as a wedge and featured XO sauce, dried sausage, peanuts and tahini labneh sauce. This would probably get any kid to eat their veggies. Will most definitely be returning!

For the sides we got cornbread, river street corn elote, asparagus, mushrooms, brussel sprouts, and truffle parm fries. I highly recommend the truffle parm fries, super rich and crispy! For a group of 6, the elote portion was more for 2-3 people to share. I also did 6 fresh kumamoto oysters, which were very good as always expected of the kumamoto. They came with 2 different mignonettes and a cocktail sauce. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for oysters! For our main entrees, we opted for the Wagyu Classic Board and got to try 3 different chef's choice cuts of steak. Which came with picanha, ribeye, and I think filet. Picanha was a huge hit of course. We also got the Prime Tomahawk Steak which was good too, but the picanha and ribeye had my attention. At the end, Ramon overheard that it was mine and a buddy's birthday so he surprised us with the best hot and fresh Apple Cobbler I've ever had in my life. It came with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and be hooked us up with a cup of gelato with a candle to sing HBD too!

Hats off to the bartenders who were attentive even though there were a ton of people around. I've been disappointed by a couple newer steakhouses in San Clemente and San Juan but The Market By The Meat Cellar renewed my faith. Thank you!

First, there's the sophisticated bar, which is smoke-free and the perfect spot for high-end spirits and amazing cocktails (The Gov'ner Old Fashioned is a must-try!). The staff are welcoming, friendly, and always smiling! They've started adding some events to the schedule, like Whistlepig/Cigar tastings, Cajun Boil, Macallan tastings, and wine tastings. They're also introducing a late-night happy hour with food and live music, which is a great way to enjoy a sophisticated drink when most restaurants have closed in the area. The second part of the lounge is the two cigar lounges: the day lounge and the VIP lounge, which has lockers. Both lounges have high-end luxury seating and lots of screens for all your favorite sports. The staff keeps the lounges clean with friendly service. At the back, there's a walk-in humidor that's well-stocked with a great selection, including Davidoff, Padron, Opus X, Fuentes, My Father, Foundation, and Placencia, just to name a few. The Winston House stick blended by Placencia is an incredible stick for an exceptional price! Both lounges have a bunch of friendly regulars, so it's always easy to find conversation, or you can just relax and enjoy the moment! This place is a hidden gem that I consider to be the best cigar lounge in SoCal!

I have now spoken to 3 people on the phone, and twice in person, to discontinue my membership as I travel often and don't utilize it often. Over the course of almost 5 months, they did NOT grant the refund, in fact, I'm being charged more now for my membership even though I am grandfathered in. Once I posted this review, this is the response I received via email. From Rick (CEO and Managing Partner) "NO that will not happen. No one promised you a refund to October. As I promised I will refund your last payment." If you're considering making this Winston's Club home, my suggestion is to go somewhere else. Their behavior is that of a company on the verge of closing.

The owner has created an incredible space warm, intimate ambiance, an outstanding food menu, and one of the best wine selections I've seen in a long time. Everything felt thoughtful and elevated without being pretentious. Our server, Tatum was professional, attentive, and extremely patient. I happened to be seated nearby during an interaction with a group of women who were openly rude and condescending toward her from the start. Despite that, she remained calm, polite, and handled herself with grace. If anything, she showed remarkable composure under unnecessary pressure. Service jobs aren't easy, and it's disappointing when unfair situations get misrepresented online. Based on what I personally observed, Tatum did nothing but her job and did it well. Highly recommend The Cellar for the food, wine, atmosphere, and overall experience. We'll absolutely be back.

Everyone else had similarly great experiences with their food. Loved this and hope to be back someday.
