The atmosphere is classy but quaint. It does a good job of making you feel like you are in an Italian restaurant in Italy with its decor and ambience. The music is modern… hahaha but I guess you have to make some compromises. The owner welcomed, us, sat us, and talked with us making recommendations. Our server Eden was attentive and friendly in her care for us throughout the evening. The staff overall was great. The food was amazing. Our appetizer, Calamari, was lightly breaded yet and topped with jalapeños and peppers thrown in for zest and spice. It was an excellent touch to change up a familiar dish . The pasta was made in house, light, and so flavorful when paired with the sauce. I got the Gnocchi Pesto and my date got the Ravioli with a white cream sauce. No looking back and no mistakes there.

We've eaten here several times. We chose to eat dinner here for our anniversary. Our experience was fine but from now on we will request a table away from the bar as it is noisier than the rest of the restaurant.

My wife and I celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary on Saturday at Gourmet Italia in Temecula. The service was excellent, as was the food. We both had filet mignon and were very impressed with the quality and preparation of the food. We also purchased a bottle of the house Syrah. We will definitely be returning again. Very enjoyable evening.

We had another wonderful evening at GI.....the service by the whole crew was fabulous, Ashley is the best server for sure....and Francisco takes wonderful care of us as well, catering to every need....the food was fabulous, we shared a Caeser salad and carpaccio appetizer for the three of us, along with bread and olive tapenade made for a wonderful starter. For the mains we had the halibut special, the filet mignon and the lobster ravioli....all spectacular as usual! For dessert we shared tiramisu (house-made!) and spumoni, so fabulous. We enjoyed the three Poggio Leano wines we had, Chardonnay, Malbec and the Montepulciano. We will be back soon!

The venue is nice, the service was good, the price for a group of four with a glass of wine each, appetizer, and four courses was $238.00 plus tip. The portions were average for and Italian Restaurant, with the exception of the Lobster Ravioli special, which was $44.00 for 4 Ravioli.
The wine list was good and the pricing per glass was between $12.00-17.00
The service was good and friendly, it could have been a bit more attentive.
Overall, it was a good experience, I would eat there again, but ask more questions about price and quantity of the specials offered.
