Best Authentic Restaurants in Ladera Ranch

Mangia Bene is always excellent! Been coming 2x/month at least for thirty years: business meals, family celebrations, meetings with friends, and solo meals. Chris Karas is a wonderful owner, and all the managers are responsive and professional.

We love you all so much! Thank you for making my Moms birthday so memorable after the lost of her husband, our father. My dad loved El Adobe and all of our memories there as a family. We appreciate you all so very much- thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Brooke Benda

6 oh my girlfriend‘s and had lunch at Ciao Pasta yesterday before going to the Capistrano Nights at the Mission. We selected this restaurant because we had gone last year and everything about it was outstanding. They seated on the patio immediately although we were early for our reservation. Every member of the weight staff greeted us provided a friendly atmosphere made sure we were all comfortable and felt welcomed. We had a lasagna, spaghetti and a salmon salad. The bread is amazing melts in your mouth and truly delicious. I was in Italy recently and I can tell you this experience at Ciao Pasta was as authentic, delicious and truly satisfying as if we were dining on a Piazza anywhere in Italy. Bravo, Ciao Pasta, we will return soon.

Overall, the food was really delicious and our server was really nice. The variety of food options was also pretty impressive. We really enjoyed our experience.

Just amazing Greek food. Place is very underrated. Very big menu of Greek food and a real Greek style experience.
