8. Pizza Hut
Reviewed By GuernseyMin
We tried this restaurant as we were not that hungry and had had an excellent by expensive meal the evening before. Were shown to our table straight away by the only waitress in the place. She was also taking the telephone orders for Pizza. Customers were abusing her at the desk, she was trying her best but had no support. Every table in the restaurant was full of finished plates and glassed, tables had not been cleared when diners had vacated the table. A single man was shown to a table across from us, but he seemed to vanish after a short time, before he had been served. We waited a long time for our pizzas, they tasted fine but my husband ordered chicken wings as he does not like pizza, but the quality of what came was very substandard and he really disliked them. I don't expect the waitress to still be there if she had a choice as no one could be under that pressure. Felt bad not leaving a tip, but the whole meal was like sitting in a dirty kitchen. Apologised to the waitress on the way out, that she should not be left to cope like this. Left as she was being abused by a customer :)

Tresino's, a family owned and operated business, originated three generations ago in a predominately Italian community called "The Hill" in St. Louis. Our family has been preparing and serving the same delicious recipes for generations. They originated in

A lot of American "Italian" restaurants are very poor imitations of restaurants in Italy - too much Americanisation, with inflated prices to match. But this restaurant seems to be an exception. We've been there a couple of times now and everybody in the family enjoyed their food, and the check hasn't been too pricey either. Good food and wine.

Our group of 5 friends stopped after hiking much of the day at the Santa Rosa Preserve. We were hungry and glad that the service was efficient and quick. We ordered two pizzas to share, a margarhita and one with mostly meat. Both were delicious and filling. The pasta dishes ordered by adjoining tables looked good too. Cold drinks were refilled without asking and the bread served before the pizzas arrived was wonderful. We certainly will be back.

So far found this to be the worst pizza in town. It is unfortunate too as it is within walking distance. Inconsistent. Sometimes the pizza is fresh & hot. Other times toppings are poor quality or the pizza is overcooked (Burnt on the Bottom. We tried the buffet lunch a couple weeks ago when we saw the guy with a sign on the corner & thought "lets give them 1-more try".. Not only not impressed, we wont be back. Salad bar and deserts were neglected (lettuce was yellowed & wilted). We had to wait 5 minutes for them to re-fill the pizza, they were very doughy & short on toppings with a lot of what tasted like canned tomato sauce.I will say this though... the place was very clean the 2 times we have eaten there. Giovani's & the new BJ's are much better quality food & service for about same price.

I've eaten here many, many times, as well as yesterday, and it's always the very best, freshest food. The pizza is piled high with toppings. They also have pastas, calzones, chicken wings, sandwiches and salads. There's free delivery within a 10-12 mile radius, but it's worth the 22 mile drive from Hemet to Lake Elsinore for their food. And Bob the owner is great as well as all his staff. Everyone is very friendly. And they give back to the community with fund raisers and supporting local teams. Also, there's an arcade for the kids of all ages. Try them. You'll be happy you did.

Have not had a bad meal here. Beef dip, salad bar, pizza, wings, ribs and pasta are amazing. Wish this place was closer because I would go all the time. Has a great family owned feel.

We have always enjoyed VIncenso's but the last time two weeks ago had the worst meals ever there...The chicken Parmesan was overcooked and tough and blah tasting, not good sauce as in the past - Bread was overcooked and cold - husband had a mix of seafood on pasta and again, blah sauce. Just not like it used to be and I did have a good drink of Italian soda but for the almost 65.00 bill, sorry, just not like it used to be and owners were not there to complain. Hate to do this but Giovanni's is better tasting at this time.

So we moved here in Feb 2016 from Mi and have looked for good pizza and finally found it here! The pizza was amazing with tons of cheese! The breadsticks were perfect! The salad was fresh with yummy dressing! On top of that the guys were really friendly and even put all the sides in a box to make it easier for me to carry home with the pizza! I can't wait to go back and try the wings and pizza sticks!
