Ristoranti in zona Old Town Temecula

The Gambling Cowboy has been our go to place for special occasions for many years and has never been a disappointment. Once again, the food and service were excellent! This is the best place in Temecula to eat and celebrate, by far.

This was a great place to have dinner. However it was my 2 year anniversary and there was nothing specifically done to celebrate even though I indicated it on the website. Not even a mention from the staff at all. Besides that, great food, great ambience, definitely would come back

Other than the very loud group next to our table, the experience was great. I made a last minute reservation, was 15 minutes late, and was still able to secure my table through text to indicate I was on my way. The food and drinks were great, especially the Brussels sprouts. I just wish they would reconsider how the Caesar salad is presented. And thanks to Joseph, our waiter.

This was my second visit to Gourmet Italia, and I chose it for my birthday dinner with a family member—what a perfect choice! Both visits have left me absolutely speechless with the exceptional customer service. This restaurant is truly a masterclass in hospitality. On this visit, the owner himself greeted us and personally walked us to our table. Despite the restaurant being extremely busy, and our reservation time was delayed, he made up for it in the most gracious and welcoming way. His vibrant personality set the tone for the entire evening. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and checked on us consistently without being intrusive. Every staff member who passed by our table interacted with us or checked on us, creating a warm, attentive atmosphere where nothing felt like “it’s not my table, so it’s not my concern.” The team worked seamlessly together, and their camaraderie was evident. The staff member who brought out our food was hilarious—he joked about how much Parmesan we wanted and kept stopping by to chat, making the evening even more enjoyable. The drinks here are amazing, and they don’t skimp! I only had one since I was driving, but next time, with a designated driver, I plan to indulge a little more. The Caesar salad and lobster ravioli I ordered were the same dishes I had on my first visit in June, and I have been craving that lobster ravioli ever since—it’s divine! The fresh, rich flavors are unforgettable. I could eat here every week and never tire of it. The menu offers a fresh variety, and their specials are always enticing, so I can’t wait to try other dishes next time. The family who owns this establishment also owns two other restaurants in the area, and I’m excited to check those out as well. To top off the evening, my server surprised me with a birthday cannoli. It was my first time tasting one, and though I’m not usually a dessert person, they were absolutely delicious. Gourmet Italia is the best!

The service was great. The food was fantastic!The manager was very accommodating. I had asked for a table for 4 outside with my reservation. No small tables were available outside because of the many large party reservations. I did not want to sit inside because we came for the music. They opened the doors for us and fed the music in through the speakers. I truly appreciate the management for their solution. My aunt and uncle were visiting from South Dakota and I wanted them to enjoy the food but also wanted them to experience the great band playing.
