Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Vegetarian spot ; This was the first time visiting this charming Italian restaurant after living in San Clemente for several months. Nestled in the heart of town, it’s a small eatery with a convenient parking lot. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, enjoying a quiet meal as we had the restaurant to ourselves. The food arrived promptly—within about 20 minutes—and it was delicious, especially considering the reasonable prices. We ordered a Cheese Garlic Bread, Greek Salad, with 2 large pizzas, which was pretty good for 5-6 people. Service was attentive; everything we ordered was brought out correctly, and the refillable drinks were a nice touch. The atmosphere added to the experience, with soothing instrumental music playing softly in the background. Just as we were leaving, the place started to fill up, which shows its popularity. Overall, it was a delightful meal with great service and a welcoming vibe. Definitely looking forward to coming back again!
Italian Cravings San Clemente exceeded our expectations! This family-owned gem shines with warm hospitality, delicious Italian cuisine and cozy ambiance. The service was exceptional - friendly, attentive and genuinely welcoming. The menu offered varied options at reasonable prices, with generous portions. We loved the homey atmosphere, perfect for family gatherings or intimate dinners. We held 2 huge family gatherings in IC. The owner, Tony was very easy going and accommodating. Ample parking spaces added convenience. Supporting local, small businesses like Italian Cravings is a must! They bring character and heart to our community. Highly recommended.
Some of the best Italian I've had in awhile! Kids got the cheese pizza..very good! Husband and I started with clam chowder and the kids stole our bread and requested a second basket, almost like toasted sticks...perfect for dipping. We ordered the seafood pasta and the Cravings Mama Mia...both were delicious but the Cravings Mama Mia.....the sauce was just perfect. Both highly recommend. Service was outstanding.
Worst pizza I have ever eaten. I ordered a margarita pizza. I don’t think there was even sauce on it. I have not seen tomatoes on a margarita pie. Terrible. I would give zero stars if it would let me. My husband had pizza with pepperoni mushroom and onion. Barely any sauce, he said gross. . Looked and tasted like pre-done dough. I’m from the east so pizzas a thing but omg .. no words. One bathroom,,, it was ok.. the garbage looked like they had it twenty years. Cmon buy a new one. Just gross. Never ever will we come back. Sorry I know they work hard but wow bad!
Less than a block away from the San Clemente downtown avenue proper, so it's quiet and has a lot less foot traffic. There is street parking and a small dedicated parking lot available. Service was quick but our server was a little curt with us, hence the -⭐. Besides that the food was amazing! The small pizza is sharable between 2 people. Thin crispy crust with just the right amount of toppings so it isn't wildly soggy or difficult to eat. The cannoli was nice and sweet, but not too sweet. This place is definitely a hidden gem.
