- DDebraVIPOrange County •211 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoDelize delivers - you can count on their kitchen to make each meal as you wish it to be prepared. Our group included those who wanted all vegetables as sides (gasp, no pasta or potatoes!) and our waiter answered "of course, no problem". We've been coming here for years and the high standards of service and the quality of the food will keep us coming back again and again.More infoDelizie Ristorante & BarPrice: Moderate• Italian• Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita•4.9
- AAmeliaVIPOrange County •159 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoIt was our first time dining at Piccolino and we enjoyed it very much. They have a great menu with good variety. We each had pasta dishes which were both excellent. The restaurant has a very nice ambience and service was very good. We are looking forward to trying other entrees.More infoPiccolino RistorantePrice: Expensive• Italian• Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita•4.8
- SSandraOrange County •1 review4.0Dined 6 days agoDecided to try a new place for my birthday. Over all the food was great with the exception of one dish. I ordered the salmon with the piccata sauce and vegetables. The salmon was extremely dry but the sauce made up for the dryness of the salmon. My kids had a pizza and pesto capellini which they enjoyed. I would go back but order something else besides the salmon. The noise level was a bit too loud for my liking. Perhaps it was the crowd that evening but it was a little difficult to hold a conversation with my kids without having to repeat myself.More infoAlza Italian KitchenPrice: Moderate• Italian• Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita•4.7
