If you find yourself in Temecula, California, and you're craving authentic Italian cuisine, look no further than Filippi's Pizza Grotto Temecula. Located conveniently at 27309 Jefferson Ave, this gem boasts a welcoming atmosphere adorned with vintage decor and mural art that evokes a sense of warmth and nostalgia. The moment you step in, you’re greeted by the friendly staff, setting the stage for a delightful dining experience.

Filippi's specializes in heavenly Italian dishes that will tantalize your taste buds. A must-try is their Large Meat Delight Pizza, generously topped with a blend of savory pepperoni, sausage, meatball, Canadian bacon, and a rich red sauce. If you prefer something a bit lighter yet equally delicious, the Medium Garlic & Olive Oil Pizza is a standout, featuring fresh ingredients like green onions, tomatoes, and artichokes — all dancing in a garlicky olive oil embrace.

The dessert selection is not to be missed, especially the renowned cannolis, which customers rave about repeatedly. With a creamy filling and a crispy shell, they’re truly the perfect sweet ending to your meal. The Tiramisu and the 3 Layer Chocolate Cake are equally tempting, with rich flavors that will linger long after the last bite.

Customers praise Filippi's not just for the generous portions but also for the hearty flavors that remind them of traditional Italian cooking. However, some have noted that the service can be hit-or-miss, with occasional reports of less-than-enthusiastic attitudes from the waitstaff. Regardless, dishes like the Super Torpedo Sandwich and the Capicola Sandwich are evidence of the kitchen’s dedication to quality and authenticity, making the minor service hiccups worth forgiving.

In summary, whether you’re a pizza fanatic or in the mood for a classic Italian sandwich, Filippi's Pizza Grotto Temecula is an establishment where the flavors speak volumes. Come hungry, savor the vintage ambiance, and indulge in dishes that set the standard for Italian cuisine in the region.

The pizza was amazing and big so come hungry I could only eat one piece. The only reason I didn’t give the food a 5 star is because the pizza had to much cheese one slice weights at least one pound each. The staff was very friendly I will definitely be coming back but next light cheese please.

My boyfriend took me here for the first time ! Love the vintage vibe / look & the beautiful mural on the wall ! Very cozy and family feeling. Food was great, and I really wanna try almost everything on the menu ! The cannoli’s were also to die for. The service was just awful though. Hostesses make you feel like you are unwanted and that you’re ruining their day by walking inside. Our waitress was the on the older side with black / dark hair. Smiles and is friendly on the surface but has terrible customer service skills ? She walks away while you’re still talking to her, she’s super slow and will dissapear when you ask for a refill or a to go box, or the check. One more thing to mention is they have a lot of flies, please consider getting a fly fan for the doors BUT the busser working yesterday afternoon was hauling ass, and working to pick up the slack from everyone else. So amazing job !!

The minute you walk in you are greeted by these darling young ladies and we were seated right away. This was our first time at this location and the food was excellent but I will say our server didn’t have much in the personality department. The only other thing we would have enjoyed was to hear some Italian music to enhance the ambience. Will we come back?! Most definitely! Enjoy!!
