Best Romantic Restaurants in San Juan Capistrano

Food was great, drinks good but bit pricey. Everyone is very friendly. However, would recommend that the hostess or anyone at front desk at very least acknowledge the customer standing in front of them before they walk away. It was at least 10 mins after being seated that anyone came to our table and asked if we wanted water or drinks. Then 15 mins before drinks came. (Need more help at the bar). Had to go find server for the check. Short staffed? Maybe. But that reason is getting old. Our server however was very friendly. We will come back, most likely eat in bar.

As usual, an excellent dinning experience. Everyone’s dish was delishious.

Wow! What a lovely restaurant. The prices kind of blew me away. I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the price point was. Everything that the table ordered was expertly crafted and so tasty. We shared a bottle of wine that was recommended by the sommelier and it paired so well with the entire meal. Don’t skip out on dessert! The special that day was the pineapple cheesecake, so different but so yummy. We also enjoyed the espresso and affogato. The espresso was delicious and super strong. There was live music the evening that we went. A woman was playing Christmas classics on the accordion. We loved it. The staff was helpful, attentive, and swift. 10/10 will be there again.

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.

Vegetarian food was great. If more choice it would have been better. Loved the service and presentation of food.
