Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Santa Ana

I went yo an early dinner with 5 friends. The food, service, and experience were all great. Shout out to the manager for being so welcoming and taking the time to thank us for coming in.

This is real, authentic Italian pasta, the best you’ll find in the south coast area. It seriously tastes just like pasta you’d find at a nice place in Italy. The ragu is my favorite. In my opinion the prices for pasta are a little high for such a casual place, but I keep coming back, so clearly it’s worth it. The service is always very good as well. The patio is nice with a fire pit and good heaters. It’s in the camp which provides nice ambiance, but parking is a nightmare. It took us 15 minutes to valet.

The food was delicious at The Lot and so convenient to be able to eat and not rush to make the movie. The theater, seats and experience was excellent. Highly recommend for a comfortable evening!
