We were a fan Chefs Grill but the new menu and ambience and service is amazing!! I highly recommend Roni's West for exceptional food!!!

Roni's Restaurant is a fantastic venue for great food, drinks, and genuinely friendly staff who make you feel like family. I highly recommend this locally owned and operated restaurant for your next outing. When I was Mayor of the City of Murrieta, I was always looking for outstanding businesses to invest in and serve our extraordinary community. Roni's checks every box, and they truly deserve your support. read more

We were very happy with a delicious and well presented meal! The service/server (Jessica) was top notch - greatly anticipated our wants and/or needs. The food - from the (Thursday night special) prime rib, to my filet mignon pasta, were so delicious and surprisingly plentiful. We were last here when it was known as "Chef's Grille", now known as Roni's, and glad for our revisit- we will definitely be coming back! For the cocktails, job well done to the the mixologist - impressive. Roni's is a "higher end" restaurant that is calm, mellow, and a good romantic place to spend some quality time with another. read more

This was our first visit tonight. This is like a little secret type place we have passed by a few times a day. They had a lot of items on the menu to choose from. We started off with a beer and an old fashion. We chose the meatballs for an appetizer and they were so good! They were two nice sized meatballs served with a yummy bread. We then chose our entree and we both chose the ribeye steak and missed out on the prime rib which is only served on Thursdays. I ordered my med well and it was perfect! The butter on the steak was a blue cheese with mushroom butter. Our meals were served with asparagus and garlic mashed. The whole meal was perfect and we each brought half of our meals home as they were generous servings. All of the food was fresh, hot and cooked perfectly. Our waitress was Jessica who was so helpful with suggestions and gave excellent service. Tonight was open mic night which we were not able to stay for but it looked like fun. Not sure if it was the owner? roni? But there was a nice gentleman who was out and about and wanted to know how our meal was! We will definitely be back and will recommend to neighbors and friends. Can't wait to go back and try some other items. read more

This restaurant is honestly under rated. I had an amazing time here and the head chef came out to ensure that. Little did he know, we were a bit disgruntled after driving 2 hours and waiting almost another 2 across the street for some BBQ food - but little did WE know that we were in for a treat. By design if you ask me. We had the bone marrow, roasted garlic, Caesar wedge, elk fettuccine, lamb pop's with mint jelly and the beignets. The paired wine was splendid and we finished off the night with a pour of Hogsworth with the Chef. What a night we had! The cutest authentic Italian restaurant with date night/family vibes. Worth the drive and I CANNOT wait to go again. read more

Mother's Day 2025: My awesome & loving family treated me to a delicious lunch. Reservations are a must! We used to frequently eat here when it was formerly known as the Chef's Grille. It has a warm, inviting, and rustic decor. It does well as an upscale Italian eatery offering culinary delights. The food was incredible! I ordered the gluten free chicken pesto dish, which I would order again. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive to our needs. My family agreed the food was excellent & a return would be in order. Thank you to Chef Martin & staff for making this a rather toothsome and memorable dining experience for Mother's Day! read more

We just found this amazing restaurant. The food was to die for. This is some of the best Italian food I've had in the USA. The portions are very generous. The ambiance is wonderful. The service is excellent. We got to meet Chef Martian who happens to be the owner, he prepared our food. Like I said it rated 40 thumbs. Daniel was our server who was johnny on the spot and one of the best waitress in the world . Would we return? Yep we will. Oh on Tuesdays they have live music . read more

Food.. was very good , tried the Bleu Balls with blueberry chutney and garlic bread with Marina. Both excellent. Filet medallions with pine-nuts over fresh fettuccini medium rare was very rare. So order medium. Service was Great!! What really stood out to me was the busser, Mason . He gave exceptional service. He was the greeter, checked on us constantly and didn't miss a beat. Appreciates Him. read more

We went here foe dinner with our neighbors. It was eerily quiet for a Wednesday evening, but oh well, we still enjoyed ourselves. Service was amazing and so was the food. We ordered the Garlic Bread appetizer (delicious) along with Meatballs Marinara (yummy) with Ronis homemade Lasagna as our entrée. To take home, we ordered the Cannoli Siciliano...divine!!! A fabulous meal and good time had by all. Highly recommended read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon for LUNCH for the FIRST TIME! SERVICE: A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Madison and another lovely lady who cheered for the Bruins was helping us that day! GO BRUINS!!!!! TORTELLINI ROSE: Was so rich and creamy! It was the star of the show! FILET PASTA: Hubby said he thought the sauce was watery and the meat was chewy but, the service made up for it... WILD MISHROOMS: Great starter! I love mushrooms with arugula salad. ROCK ON RONIS WEST! read more

My family and I went there yesterday. We didn't have a good experience service was bad. We had reservations they sat us in the back. And it took 20 minute for a server to even acknowledge us. There was only 2 servers the male server kept checking on the 2 tables next to us and never even acknowledged us. Until the female server asked us any one had been by I said no. She came took our order. The only thing that was good that we got our food about 7 min after we put our order in. The food was ok but not for the price tag. My husband order chicken Parmesan with no flavor at all. My son got the chicken Alfredo which it was ok not the best. The only item we all liked was the Tortellini rose. We would not be returning to this restaurant ever again we didn't have a good first time experience. read more

We stopped by for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The reviews looked good so I was excited to try it. It was a quaint little place and not busy at all. We were seated right away by a friendly waiter. We ordered the garlic bread which came out hot and delicious. Great start! I ordered a shrimp pasta and hubby ordered a steak pasta. Both were good but nothing super memorable. There are still a few other things on the menu that I'd like to try. The service was great so we'll definitely give them another try. read more

I have had two pasta seafood dishes. The flavors are spot on. The execution is poor. I had lobster ravioli. The ravioli was incredibly thick and doughy and the dish was unbelievably over sauced. The ravioli had nothing inside. Maybe an oversight by whoever cooked it. Authentic Italian is about the pasta. Not to be drowned in sauce. So fail on both parts. Ravioli should be like delicate pillows. The lobster was incredibly thick large chunks. Not bite sized. Second time I tried a dish I got their shrimp capri. Again the dish was tasty but the sauce was exactly the same as the lobster ravioli. Not a bad thing. However the sauce is very creamy and the shrimp still had the tails on. A great way to cook the shrimp and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. But....a heavily sauced dish once again and what are you supposed to do with the shrimp with the tail on. Pick it up with your fingers in all that sauce? And there were large wedges of tomato. Come on. Not a dish easily eaten. The prices are high. I would expect better execution of these dishes. They come with pasta only. So at least the pasta should be a ten. I'm not a chef but I am a very seasoned home cook all my life. I like to order dishes I wouldn't necessarily cook at home. I gave it a second chance and was disappointed again. read more

First time here and will definitely be back. Really great service and food! Enjoyed the Bleu Balls, Ronis Roasted Garlic and The Arti Dip for appetizers. Four cheese ravioli was delicious and sauce spot on. We're Italian and a hard sauce sell and it's a solid 10. Chicken Piccata was good but I prefer a light coating and thicker sauce. Cute authentic Italian restaurant with attentive staff & service. read more

I've been dining at Chef Martin's establishment for over four years, and it never disappoints! Portions are great and prices are reasonable. There's never a compromise to quality here. If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience, look no further. I love that the menu has something for everyone...gluten-free garlic bread, and a selection of Italian dishes you simply can't find anywhere else. I love the bleu balls, mussels in lemon pernod sauce, sautéed wild mushrooms, lamb osso buco, giambotto stufati (if you don't know about this dish, you should ), and smoked pork chops. The parking lot made for a convenient arrival. Consistent quality, great service, and a unique menu makes it my top pick in the area - hands down. If you're tired of the predictable menus elsewhere, Roni's is a breath of fresh air! read more

Was our first time and we're definitely coming back. The bread for both the mad Italian and the bruschetta were crispy in the outside and so tender in the middle. Big, savory, and bright Italian flavors. Greg was our server today and was so kind and helpful. Very knowledgeable with the menu making our experience so comfortable. Definitely coming back for a Wednesday date night special! read more

Did this place change ownership?? My husband and I loved it when it was Chef's Grille, but this last time was just... not good! We ordered for pick up and honestly, the only positive thing I can say is that my order was ready when I walked it at the exact time frame they gave me. Other than that, it was bad. For $81 we got meatballs, chicken piccata and the filet minion pasta. The portion size was laughably small. The noodles for both pastas were way overcooked. Like chef boyardi mushy! Also, the food was just bland. We're so disappointed and won't be visiting this place again. read more

We recently visited Roni's and had a fabulous meal! Martin was an engaged host and treated our family, like family! Their focaccia bread is some of the best pre-meal Italian breads I've had and ours meals and desserts were all great. We've visited several "popular" Italian Restaurants in the area and my husband has not cared for the food, almost too authentic is my guess, but Roni's had a "contemporary" taste to even his liking, and commented that the lasagna was the best he's ever had. read more

Had an amazing birthday celebration meal last night . There were six of us and everyone loved their meal. The pasta dishes were superb and the Sea Bass was outstanding . Service very attentive and ambiance was spot on. . Would highly suggest for date night as atmosphere was very cozy . Loved that chef came out to make sure we were enjoying our meals. It was a very special evening and will return soon . read more

The food was great! Zero complaints there. Our waiter was kind and attentive, however, the rest of the staff started cleaning up and collecting table cloths and lamps from empty tables an hour before closing. I would've given Ronis a 5/5 if it had not been for the early cleanup. It made me and my party feel rushed. Overall enjoyed my experience and would come back, though! read more

Absolutely the worst Italian restaurant I've been to. There is nothing authentic about this restaurant as they claim. They don't even serve you bread. Extremely overprice. If you want good Italian food go to Carini's or Nonno's. read more

Chef Martin Corso has raised the culinary bar with this wonderful restaurant! Authentic Italian entrees and desserts are one of a kind. Went with a party of 5 total and we each had a different dish. We started with the garlic bread and it was amazing! Our server Greg was knowledgeable, helpful and a great personality. The homemade pasta really brought the dishes up to another level. I usually only have cannoli for dessert but we tried the limoncello cheesecake on recommendation from Greg and it was heavenly, very light and great limoncello flavor. We travelled from the city of Orange for this restaurant specifically and it was worth every mile we drove and will make the visit again. Highly recommend! Ciao read more

Roni's west formally known as chefs grille! Food was great we had the appetizer garlic bread yum! The kids loved their spaghetti and meatballs. The mad Italian sandwich was packed full of flavors, I just wish it was bigger. We also had the chicken Marsala and that was a great dish as well. Service was great from Robin even though she wasn't our actual server. Restaurant is nice and clean with a mellow vibe. read more

We tried out Ronis tonight for the first time and not only was the food really good and fresh but they were also so kind and accommodating for us since we brought our pup. They put us on the patio and brought him out a big bowl of water without us asking. The manager also came out and kept trying to make friends with our boy. Great service, good food, and they made our pup feel welcomed. I couldn't ask for more. We will be back! read more

I'm not sure how this got good reviews. I ordered gluten free pasta and the gluten free garlic butter bread to go and it surprised me on so many levels. 1. The pasta was barely cooked. It was still hard. The sauce barely made it in. 2 The portion was like kid size. The pasta and the bread. Nothing like the picture 3. I'd rather buy a frozen meal and microwave it than eat this. read more

My personal visit was incredible. Anniversary dinner with my wife, last minute choice we did not regret . We sat at the bar. Had some very well prepared cocktail's. My lasagna was delicious and stable. It wasn't sliding or falling apart and it wasn't just a bowl of lasagna soup (iykyk) . The Cesar salad was just right also. Can't wait to go back! Our server was so nice and she made us some perfect Manhattan's ! read more

We truly enjoyed the atmosphere at Roni's West. The staff was phenomenal, and the food was out of this world. I had the lasagna, and my wife ordered the filet mignon pizzaiola. For our appetizer, we tried the Bruschetta del Giorno--absolutely delicious. What made the evening even more memorable was when we asked for the check. A gentleman sitting behind us, whom we didn't even know, surprised us by paying for our dinner. It completely caught me off guard and left us both touched. Whoever you are, please know your kindness did not go unnoticed--it was very heartwarming, and we are so grateful for your generosity. To the amazing staff at Roni's West--thank you as well. You made our night special, and we'll see you again soon. I already told Susan we're coming back for my birthday this month, and we're bringing my brother and his girlfriend to share the experience. Thanks again for everything--ciao! read more

The problem at Roni's West doesn't just come from the staff--it starts at the top. The owner sets the tone here, and it shows in how poorly customers are treated. If management cared about hospitality, the staff wouldn't act like serving people is beneath them. When we tried to get a simple correction on an order, instead of fixing the mistake, the response was rude and dismissive--as if the customer is always wrong. That kind of attitude doesn't happen by accident, it's a reflection of the owner's priorities: profit over people, arrogance over service. Plenty of restaurants manage to serve good food and treat people with respect. Unfortunately, at Roni's West, the owner seems more interested in pushing customers out the door than building loyalty. Until the leadership changes, this place will keep mistreating guests--and losing them. read more

A very nice Italian place. Our server was fun and helpful. He changed my order (with my approval) to oxtails which were incredible!

Went for an early dinner on sunday, so we were greeted and seated immediately. We decided to order several appetizers and one pasta. We had the octopus with chorizo, wild mushrooms, garlic bread, and the shrimp capri. Everything was fantastic. The service provided by luis and the staff was excellent; we were checked up on periodically, just the right amount without being intrusive. The other thing we wanted to try was the fire roasted brussel sprouts which luis pointed out was only available friday and saturday. We'll have to return one day to get that. read more

Chef M--Nothing was experienced because we had reservations from your website on Christmas Eve for a special dinner as our son was in town. We were lucky that we could find another place that was open and had a table for us last minute! Your apology was probably sincere at the time but I have no incentive to visit your restaurant again. And you are commenting a full nine months after this happened! Glad you fixed the problem. The review is staying up. read more
