I’m not being dramatic when I tell you this was the best Italian food I’ve ever had in my life. They make their pasta and bread from scratch in-house. The lasagna was perfection and the bread they bring out before your meal is the best bread I’ve ever tasted. My husband said the same! And the portions are large. My new favorite!!

What a wonderful dinner on date night. This is my second visit and there will be more. The melone and prosciutto is wonderful. That calamari is golden crispy and complimented with a sauce that has a good little bite. The caprese pizza was ok. Don’t get me wrong it’s not bad, but it’s not what I would say their signature dish. The ossobucco is phenomenal. Super tender with a flavorful sauce. Top it all off with crème brûlée and an espresso and you will be delighted. The service is attentive but not over the top.

The service was EXCELLENT. Our food came out very quickly. Our waitress was incredibly attentive to every detail. I had the rigatoni bolognese and the tiramisu and they were both superb. The atmosphere is gorgeous with fairy lights and a lovely Spanish courtyard. The prices are very reasonable as well!

This is an important message for The Mission Square Restaurant Whittier California location. To whomever receives this message for the review to please forward this to the Owner Management Or Better of The Mission Square Restaurant in relation to pricing to do a full overview of the menu to keep all menu pricing at Happy Hour under $20.00 per menu item and before/thereafter depending on but not to exceed $30.00 per menu item. Keeping watch on pricing very closely and all other matters the same keeping prices as low as possible and not just here as have messaged all businesses and others at this time once or a few times to keep updated before now and this now for the year 2023 and ongoing. Of course it is important to be reminded to please the customers to whom which spend to keep the restaurant (s) clean etcetera because without your customers you have no business as this is everywhere with coupons discounts samples at times as this is part of any normal procedure for business. Know the restaurant already well outside and inside seen menu etcetera.
