    Overall good. Had a reservation for 7:30 and wasn’t seated until 8pm. A lot of other reservations were upset about the long wait. I think they should plan for more time for guests to stay especially with live music a lot of parties were going over the 2 hour table limit. Bread came out with main dish, would have been nice during salad/appetizer.

    This visit was our second time there. The food was amazing (as it was our first time)! We had a party of 5, and we ordered a smattering of different dishes ranging from traditional chicken parmesan to more modern Squid ink pasta with scallops and more. All were absolutely wonderful. Our server, Ashley, was also amazing as were all the other service staff. I will be back and highly recommend this restaurant.

    As we walked in we could tell this restaurant was going to be amazing! The food was fantastic, tons of great specials, we enjoyed the tuna tartare and antipasto platter which I highly recommend. A few of us enjoyed the halibut, chicken parm, lasagna, eggplant, and more…all so good!

    Best Italian food in Temecula by far! We've been going to Gourmet Italia since it opened in 1999 and we have never been disappointed. Last night was very busy but the food and service were still outstanding. We suggest that you make a reservation whenever you decide to dine there.

    We visit with every trip and over 10 years, have only had a bad experience once. Today we had Samantha helping us and she was really hustling while still taking time to be super helpful and attentive. We will definitely be back and we will also try their sister restaurants.
