Lascari's Italian Grill - Brea

Wow, the food here is excellent! A friend recommended this place, and when I arrived, I was surprised to find it in a strip mall near Home Depot. It looked like a hidden gem. At first, I thought they only served sandwiches and pizza, but I was in the mood for pasta. I’m so glad I chose the Linguine with red mussel sauce; it was the best I’ve had since living in California! I definitely want to come back and try the pizza. This restaurant is a must-visit, and I wish the owners great success. The food is truly fantastic, and the staff is friendly and maintains a clean environment. It's a wonderful spot for families. Thank you!

The restaurant has changed ownership over the years, but it remains a fantastic spot for a quick lunch or a nice dinner. I have a few favorites on the menu. Their Bellybuster Pizza is a generous serving, and you can swap out toppings if you don't like everything they include. My favorite salad is the Focaccia Pizza Salad, which features pieces of focaccia mixed in, and they garnish it with pita bread triangles brushed with butter and garlic—it's simply delightful. Honestly, I could eat an entire dish of just that garlic butter pita bread; it's that good!

On Sundays, kids eat free with the purchase of an adult meal, which is a fantastic deal. The pizza here is excellent—I know my pizza, having managed a pizzeria before. It’s always fresh and made to order. The pasta and salad options are also very good. The overall cleanliness of the restaurant could be improved; it seems like the area under the tables needs more attention. The soda fountain is self-service, and there are a few TVs available for entertainment.

We have been visiting this restaurant for years, and we absolutely love it. My grandfather is from Sicily, and the sauce here tastes just like his. I've never had a negative experience.

I stopped by on a whim while I was passing through. I decided to try their most popular sandwich, which was served with a choice of pasta salad, potato salad, or ambrosia. I was surprised to see ambrosia as an option...
