lunch today with 12 women, one waiter (male),,,,the guy was the best very attentive. He even did seperate checks for each of us! My hat goes off to him and the food was great at a good price read more

Good service. Nice cold beers. Nice inside. My wife loves their stuffed mushrooms and it didn't disappoint again, she loves them! My wife & her mom always gets their Romana salad & they have good ranch dressing. The small is large enough for them to split and gives them a good portion. I got a meat sandwich, but it was more lettuce, tomato and bread with little meat so won't order a sandwich there again. I'm glad I ordered the pizza sauce that comes on the sandwich, on the side, just tasted like tomato paste. No other flavor to it. My mom-in-law likes their lasagna, but always comments she wishes it wasn't served in a bowl dish with lots of sauce around it. Recommended she ask for a plate next time and no extra sauce. read more

We chose Trupianos for our anniversary dinner while in Fallbrook in April 2026. Upon entering it appeared to be a quaint little Italian bistro, not too fancy but cute. We were seated immediately and they allowed my service dog to be inside. It they took our drink orders almost immediately but the drinks didnt make it to the table for nearly 15 minutes. We waited almost 15 minutes to have our order taken which was surprising. We kept looking around to see where the waitress was and saw them all huddled in the back. A very nice lady came over ans asked if we had been helped and when she found out we were still waiting she seemed a bit taken back. The food came in very hearty portions. Started with the Bruschetta, it was amazing. My wife had Osso Bucco which is an oven Roasted Pork Shank, Roasted Vegetables, Garlic Mashed Potatoes and i had the Farfalle Salmone which is Salmon, Fresh Garlic, Deep Fried Capers, Dill Infused Parmesan Cream Sauce, both dishes very tasty. Their dessert menu had several choices and we decided on the Tiaramisù, it was delicious. read more

Over-priced and underwhelming. Owner seemed arrogant. Food tastes like frozen food re-heated.

Just had a wonderful lunch at Trupiano's. Order small pizza with pepperoni, Artichokes and garlic. This is the only place in town to enjoy an authentic Italian pizza. read more

Small restaurant, but still a gem to discover. The food is amazing! Original offerings and amazing flavor. Starts with the fresh breadsticks and wine offerings and ends with generous portions of pasta that will bring you back for another visit wanting more. The staff is friendly and always leaves us happy we chose this restaurant. Worth the drive, even if you aren't local. Check out some of Fallbrook's wineries and end with dinner here. Perfect weekend. Thank me later. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. The choices on the menu were superb. I had a pasta in dill crème sauce with salmon. To die for. The small Mediterranean salad was enough for 3 people to share as a starter. Servers were friendly, skilled and attentive. I'll definitely be back read more

Croutons should NOT be as hard as rocks. It's hard to believe the owner had one and said ok.

I cannot remember her name but our server was amazing! Long brown hair, very polite and attentive. The food was great. We came at a great time as it was not too busy. Will be returning soon. read more

I'm a big fan of Italian food Trupiano's Italian bistro has really great food at very reasonable prices. My husband and I split a bottle of wine which was around $30 and we also got a dish that included lasagna chicken Parm and a beef ravioli. I couldn't imagine how one person could ever eat that by themselves, the one thing I will say is the croutons in the ceasar salad were a little harder than I like but still was a good salad. Service was very attentive and friendly, we will return for sure read more

Once again this place blows our mind with the food. My wife had the Griglia and I had the Cavapati Caprese. Good portions and fresh ingredients makes these dishes even better. The service is OUTSTANDING from the moment you arrive. Harriett and Jose Luis are the best. The ambiance as always makes the dining experience that much better. I highly recommend this place. read more

Zolinn & Chelsea!! Great service! Amazing how the staff treats this place like they own it! They care! They are excited about the food! They ooze proper presentation-with class but most importantly sincere connection. I definitely got a little bit more into the menu then I would just quickly stopping by to check it off the list to see if it was good or not. I'm actually surprised by how good it is! I got the spicy arrabiata (with angel hair not penne). Got a DELICIOUS Italian moscato (originally was looking for a local but I'm really excited that I did not because I just found a Moscato that I'm definitely going to be buying a couple bottles)!! They did not have the crème brûlée so I'll have to come back again and try some other dish along with us. Instead I got the ice cream which was really good surprisingly because I don't like mixing chocolate with fruit. Everything was fantastic I would say this is probably going to be my go to location when I come to Fallbrook moving forward and I definitely will recommend it. It's really good ambience is super chill like a family. The staff like I said is very rare to come across as everybody is moving together and the vibe is good but they are also about their business as well as the customer service/connecting. Excited to come back and bring friends!! Thank you again ladies for helping me pick out a VERY GOOD selection. Ridiculously well priced as well. This place is getting my loyalty button! read more

It's an understatement to say that this place offers one of the best Italian food I've ever had. I haven't been so so delighted to eat Italian food elsewhere. You don't expect much from a little place in a little town on vacation but my mind has been blown. Food & Drinks: My absolute favorite was the Cavattapi Caprese, a delightfully light sauce, melted mozzarella, and pasta cooked to perfection. Overall a beautiful medley of well-cooked ingredients. I could eat that thing all night. The Sicilian pizza was great too, crispy crust with a softer center topped with delicious cured meats. Pizza heaven I'd say. Their Tiramisu was wonderfully soft too, it just slid down my throat. We got a bottle of the Rose(I forgot the name but it was from Portugal) which was good too. Service: The food being good is one thing, but their service is stellar too. Our server Kai was a delight to work with. Very attentive, and made sure to talk about the food we ordered so that we knew what to expect. We were celebrating our anniversary so he even got us a desert, on the house. And then he stopped by for a few mins to chat about our time in Fallbrook etc. He got the whole staff to say Happy Anniversary while we were leaving. I was so touched. There were 2 other servers who took care of our complimentary bread refills and wine refills. They even boxed our leftovers, I mean who does that anymore?Overall some great folk onboard here. Ambiance: A small cozy place that gives a very homely vibe. If I had an Italian grandmother, her dining room back in Italy would probably look like this. They have some parking outside too so not a difficult parking situation. In-All: A true small-town gem, this place. I have decided to drive up from San Diego and eat here often, the food is that good. If you're in Fallbrook or just passing by, I'd suggest you get something here or you're missing out on some real stuff. read more

My wife and I have lived in Fallbrook for over 2 years now, and our biggest regret is that we haven't tried Trupiano's sooner! Fun, family friendly environment! Amazing food, and great service! Their pesto is fabulous, and their Creme Brûlée is to die for!! 1000/10! We will most definitely be back! read more

Pasta was drowned in the sauce, bland and overly sweet. Meatballs were watery, and had no flavor. The waiter did not ask if it was our first time and did not ask if we had questions nor did he explain the upcharges. So disappointed. read more

We're severely limited on dining options here in Fallbrook, but there are good options. Trupiano's is one of them. Food is pretty good, yet a bit bland across all items. Service is awesome and the ambiance is dated and ok. I really wish they'd develop the outside as there are no real outside options in FB. Will come back, but I think Faro's 127 West resturaunt will continue to be our go-to over this. Not sure why the flavors are different between the two either. I know we have a older aged community, but please, lets not create flavorless food. read more

Gluten free and a citrus allergy. This place was accommodating, I disnt get gluten3d, and the staff was friendly and attentive.

Wow, this place was amazing! I got a pasta (orecchiette aragosta); my husband got the chicken parmesan. We came here on a random Friday night. I'm so thankful my husband found this place. This is so much better than Vigilucci's in Carlsbad. If you're looking for a satisfying Italian dinner at a place that feels homey and comfortable and is worth the price, stop here without a second thought. Made the drive here from Oceanside, so worth it, and can't wait until our next visit! Everything was perfect: the food, the seating, the decor... Also, all of the staff were extremely helpful and attentive. They also just seemed happy. Kai and Ozzie were great. The bread, entrees, and dessert were fantastic. read more

Food is great and the portions are hugh. The service is also very good. A very good italian place in Fallbrook.

One of my fav Italian restaurants! I've always gotten something new each time I've gone and have never been disappointed. Unfortunately, they did update their menu recently and have gotten rid of some of my favorite pasta dishes. I tried one of their new dishes instead, orecchiette florentine, and it was delicious! They also serve complimentary breadsticks as an appetizer. read more
