Alza Osteria - Brea

Outstanding food and service. Extremely impressed with food preparation and quality. Delicious Italian food. Highly recommended!

My sister got take out pizza from here. It was great. Went in for sit down and red flags as soon as I walked in. Appeared to be 5 tables with customers and 1 waiter. 4 to 5 workers in the back preparing food. 1 table was a large group of about 6 to 8 people. Waited a 2 3 mn at the front. Was greeted and told just a min. Wait another 2 3 mn to get seated. Got 2 drinks and abandoned. Noticed the table next to us was waiting for food. They seemed annoyed. I was hungry and wanted pizza. I watched the only server at the 2 tables in the back, party of 4 and another the 6 8.. I figured that by the time he took our order, it would be an hour or more to get a pizza. Paid for the drinks and left. The entire kitchen staff saw us walking out. One came out and apologized and blamed the new waiter. I blame the management for lack of staffing out front. I might be back. Drove to Little Tony's Italian for burnt pizza.

The food was very good highly recommend it. It's a small place it gives it a intimate vibe. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Fried Calamari, Chicken Parmigiana

Unfortunately the restaurant was dirty, flies everywhere, we arrived a few minutes after they opened. They were slow to seat us even slower to take our order. I ordered lasagna the dish it was baked in had baked on old food stains Too many teenagers with not enough experience running the place. The chef appeared to be the manager/owner? Her apron looked like it had not been washed in a while, multiple layers of chef schmuck, just like my lasagna dish. Major change is needed badly.

Amazing Italian spot! We are always trying new places and I must say, this will now be one of our go to spots. Food is phenomenal, service was perfect, small and inviting atmosphere. Not too fancy not too casual. Great family spot or a date night. We had appetizers, salads, soups and several different pasta dishes. If you like Italian food you will love this place.
