Authentic Italian cuisine, thoughtfully crafted and lovingly prepared. A gem of the Temecula restaurant scene.

From start to finish, it was a pleasant experience. We went on a weeknight so the service washer prompt and accommodating. We ordered a little bit of everything and we're not disappointed. The pasta was fresh, the steak was cooked perfectly, and the pizza was authentic! Definitely will be back.

We've been to The Cave several times now. They need more wait staff to support one another. Our server was friendly, but had too many tables. We saw him twice and other servers would bring our orders out, but when we asked for anything (salt, pepper, Parmesan, more drinks) we would sit there and wait and wait.

The service staff was incredible. We had a party of 12 and they made sure everyone was taken care of. Everyone was also very kind. There is a good amount of space for a party of our size. The food was one of the best we've had. There were no complaints from us. This restaurant is top tier. All boxes were checked off for us. Thank you!

Excellent authentic Italian food. Great service. They care more about your experience unlike the other Italian restaurants in town that want to get you in and out as fast as they can.

Been wanting to try this place for quite some time and finally decided to go for a late Sunday lunch. Great wine selection and the food was excellent. Beef Carpaccio was awesome. Lasagna was also good and the Pizza. Pizza not traditional Napliitano more of a Roman style dough but also very good. Overall good experience we will return to try some of their other house made pastas.

Waiter offered to serve 2 different specials on the menu, but came back twice after speaking to the chef, to say that he wasn't able to serve the dishes on the special menu. This exchange took over 20 minutes since he came and forth twice. I finally had to choose something else from the regular menu. He also stated that since he wasn't able to give me the special dishes as previously mentioned, he would offer a glass of wine which I took to be complimentary since he didn't provide a wine menu to choose from. After the bill came, he not only charged me for the special dishes that he said he wasn't able to serve, he also charged me for a full glass of wine, which was poured as a sample serving. After questioning him about the overcharge, he stated that “I caught him” with a grin. He took off the $30 for the extra dish that wasn't served, but said the $11 wine was not complimentary. At this point, for all the trouble, he should have taken off the wine charge too. First experience at this restaurant. I will not be returning. Service was dishonest and unapologetic. The food was mediocre, overpriced, and small in portion size. My mushroom pasta was $32. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Didn't get served the entire course that I pre paid for on Valentine's Day and they still charged me a gratuity. They were understaffed and entire meal was almost $400 for two. Meal wasn't great and service was slow.

Awful !! Mediocre to poor on food. Service the worst in my 50 years as an adult. Served drink in a broken sharded glass. No apology, no comp. Prepaid prix fixe was horribly organized. Horrible.

DO NOT EAT HERE! LOW QUALITY FOOD. COMPLETE SCAM! We prepaid $300 for a “dining experience” for two people. We were expecting a high end dining experience for this kind of money. Instead it was a nightmare experience! They tried to sit us at a high top cocktail table in the bar for our "fine dining" experience. We had to insist on being seated at a table. It was freezing in the restaurant. Our waitress was the only waitress we saw in the entire restaurant. There was another girl who was serving drinks but did not appear to be a waitress. Our waitress was taking orders and serving every single table in the restaurant. I'm guessing about 35 tables. We asked her why she was the only waitress and what was going on, and why everything was taking so long. She said they were short staffed and someone had called out. She also commented that she was about to walk out herself! My daughter and I agreed that if we were in her shoes, we would have walked out as well. We were served fish sticks as appetizers, which they tried to pass off as calamari. They were soggy and uncooked and tasted like glue. The main course took over 2 hours before we were served. My daughter ordered the lobster, she said it was ice cold when we finally got our food. I ordered the filet mignon "medium rare". When I finally got the filet it was well done, extremely dry and hard to chew. The pasta sauce was unflavored watery tomato sauce from a jar. The dessert was stale, hard as a rock and we couldn't even eat it. Then to add insult to injury, we were charged an additional $70 on top of the prepaid amount of $300, for a 20% mandatory tip for a “large party”, we were 2 people. I called the restaurant and asked for a refund after explaining how bad our food was and how long we waited to get served, and the owner gaslighted me, and said "we ate our food", then hung up on me!!! When I tried to call back the phone lines were disconnected. We PREPAID $300, of course we ate some of the food! I want a refund!!!

Went there for the Valentines day special. $135 per person for four course meal. Good was pretty good, no complaints there. The service was ok. I had to ask for a refill on a drink three times before I got it over the course of the meal. The main reason for the low rating was because of the mandatory 20% gratuity that was added on at the end for "Large party", adding an additional $60 to the bill. It was just me and the wife. I heard some restaurants were doing this and we don't do fine dining often. Left a bad taste in my mouth after a pretty solid experience. Felt like a bait and switch.

We sat in the lounge and our server/ bartender was wonderful and polite. Served a delicious peach belini. Our food was wonderful as well and the fresh pasta was very delicious. Thank you so much for the service and wonderful food!

Kate, the event manager, and Pietro, the owner, are WONDERFUL. We LOVE the food and recently decided to do a private rehearsal luncheon there. Kate bent over backwards to accommodate our needs and it was very reasonably priced. The restaurant vibe is great, too! Thank you Trattoria Toscana!
