Best Italian Restaurants in Scripps Ranch

Absolutely amazing experience this evening with the lucrezia team. They went above and beyond for us. Thank you to the whole team for such a great time!

I recently dined at The Amalfi Llama, and it was an incredible experience! The service was top-notch; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The drinks were equally impressive, perfectly complementing the meal. The restaurant itself had a wonderful ambiance, and the outdoor seating with heaters was a perfect touch, keeping us warm and cozy even in the winter chill. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great dining experience!

My husband and I shared the Penne Alle 3P and the Vittorios Pizza and both were absolutely perfect. My in-laws each had the shrimp scampi in white wine sauce and they both enjoyed it very much. Our daughte, as always, had something with the spicy vodka sauce 😋. To top it off, my daughter got a complimentary brownie with ice cream for her birthday. What a great family dinner, Vittorios was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and the staff was as always very very nice 😀 See you soon!

food was simple and delicious and our weight staff was impeccable! They even had a photographer on standby today to snap pictures if you wanted one.

Service was great! Food was great! Atmosphere was great! Would definitely come back here again, perfect for date night or dinner with friends. We ordered the beef carpaccio and it blew me away! The meat melted in your mouth and the light truffle sauce that it was dressed with was perfect with the cold freshness of the meat. The focaccia that the carpaccio came with was also a nice crunch addition. We also got the caprese salad which I liked but didn’t love, my partner really liked it. For our mains we got the pomodoro fresco pasta with the mafalde noodle and the pappardelle al brasato de manzo and can I just say…. Wow. I’m so happy that our waiter recommended the mafalde pasta shape to us, it held the sauce perfectly and was much more interesting than the other more common pastas I have had! The beef in the pappardelle pasta was braised beautifully and was just as good re-heated the next day! Lastly we finished off our meal with the table side de-constructed tiramisu. As tiramisu fanatics this one definitely made it to the top of our list, the lady fingers were light and airy while still having a nice bite and the mascarpone was perfectly sweetened. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant and will for sure be back!
