"Overall, Trupianos was good. Though if you have kids who ALWAY order mac cheese anywhere they go, beware that the Mac Cheese here is actually made with penne, not macaroni. I thought the sauce was delicious, but they didn 't like it. Interestingly, when they brought waters, the kids cups were bigger than the adults- they just happen to have lids. Kid drinks come with the meal, so three already very large kid waters, turn into 6 kid cups total. Of course, one cup was spilled before the end of the meal. In hindsight, I should have asked for them to take away some of them. Like most Italian places, there aren 't many vegetarian/vegan tasty options. Their calamari is okay. The pink lemonade was quite watery, even when refilled. The Italian food lover loved it here though. So if you 're looking for good Italian food, it 's here!"

First time trying Trupiano's after them being highly recommended. It did not disappoint! Food was excellent. Had the shrimp scampi with capellini and a custom pizza. So good! Service was great as well. We'll definitely be back

Great food. Visited while on vacation and almost beats our favorite local Italian spot. Service was a little slow at the start, but you could tell that was due to staffing and how busy it was. They made up for it and made the experience wonderful. Can't wait to visit again. View menu

The best Italian food I've had in Southern California. They even have a drive thru where you can call, place order over the phone, and pick up authentic Itailan food which is unheard of! You will not be disappointed spending your money here. They have my highest recommendation.

Another 30 minutes passed, and she finally brought out our main courses. The penne vodka with chicken was the worst I've ever tasted; the chicken was gristly, and the vodka sauce was unpleasant. My wife's salmon was decent but dry and overly salty. Overall, this is far from an authentic Italian restaurant. I would not recommend this place at all.

"I recently visited a restaurant that had both strengths and weaknesses in their service and offerings. **Pros:** 1. The waitress was friendly and attentive, always checking in on us. 2. The terrace provided a quiet and welcoming atmosphere, complete with a peaceful pond filled with Koi fish. **Cons:** 1. **Food Availability Issues:** Unfortunately, we encountered several problems with food availability. We attempted to order a calzone and a Stromboli, but were informed they didn’t have the necessary equipment or chef to prepare them. We then ordered a salad, only to find out they didn’t have the ingredients for a Swedish salad. Our next choice, their spinach and mushroom pizza, was also unavailable due to missing ingredients. 2. **Pizza Quality:** After numerous failed attempts, we had to settle for two types of pizza: a vegetarian and a meat lover's variant. Both crusts were disappointing—almost burnt on the bottom and soggy on top. The vegetarian pizza was topped with poorly cooked, nearly raw vegetables. 3. **High Prices:** With two salads and two pizzas, our bill exceeded $80. I wouldn’t mind paying that much if the quality met expectations, but unfortunately, it fell short. 4. **Lack of Empathy:** Throughout our meal, our waitress had to interrupt our conversation multiple times to inform us that our orders couldn’t be fulfilled. Given all the complications, we expected a bit more understanding and empathy from the staff. Although we remained kind and patient, it was disappointing to have to reorder so frequently. We learned that their food delivery was scheduled for the next day, which explained some of the shortages. However, it seems odd that a restaurant, especially one located right next to a supermarket, would run out of basic ingredients like those needed for a salad. This raised concerns about the freshness of the food we were served: if they were out of stock today, how fresh could the food we ate actually be? I was especially glad I didn’t order any of the seafood options on the menu. Overall, my experience left me unimpressed. A simple gesture of apology or a complimentary dessert could have gone a long way in making us feel valued as customers. It’s unfortunate, as this type of service doesn’t seem typical for a restaurant that could otherwise provide a lovely dining experience. Signed, An Unimpressed Customer."
