Surrounded by so many options in such a foodie city, it can be tough to narrow down your cravings. However, Anaheim is rich with Italian fare, and you can’t visit this bustling city without checking out some of the best. Rufino’s Italian Restaurant has been dishing up favorites since 1967, specializing in al dente pasta and veal for those looking for a serious dining experience.
Baci Italian features an outdoor patio, perfect for a July dinner out, and an upscale establishment with elevated dishes. The dishes are seemingly simple, but sheer perfection. It all pairs with the impressive wine menu, including the Mama’s Meatball Panini, fettuccini with meat sauce, chicken breast topped with mushroom sauce and any of their gourmet lunch pizzas.

Carolina’s Italian Restaurant is where you’ll find scratch-made delights in a casual setting. Try the Polly-O Caprese or the buffalo wings with your choice of bone-in or bone-out. Carolina’s favorites are penne pasta tossed in a house sauce with sundried tomatoes, the cheese tortellini on a bed of tri-colored cheese and the baked ziti with thick garlic bread.
Naples Ristorante e Pizzeria offers wood-fired pies along with pastas, fresh salads and a variety of authentic dishes with a Naples spin. Located at Disneyland, you’ll want to try the fried calamari, deep-fried risotto balls, ravioli with sausage and cabbage, and a side of creamy polenta.
