Filippi's Pizza Grotto Norco

This place is just ok. The pizza was very tasty. Our table ordered a chicken and spinach pizza. They were out of spinach. There is literally a grocery store about 2 blocks away down 6th Street so it blows my mind how a restaurant can be out of anything unless it is some specialty item. Tons of cheese and great flavor on the pizza. We substituted ham for the unavailable spinach. We also had a shrimp pasta dish, the veal parmigiana, and a prime rib plate. The proteins were all done well and tasty. The prime rib was tender, juicy, and medium rare just as ordered. Then came the side dish pasta and red meat sauce and the pasta with the veal. That's where this place falls flat on it's face. The sauce is horrific. Had a weird after taste and almost the flavor of raisins or prunes. No flavor of garlic or basil and not good at all. That's like going to a Mexican restaurant and they have bad salsa. They also did not drain the pasta well so the bottom of the dish was just swimming in water and the sauce would not even stick to the pasta. We may go back again for the pizza but that is about it. Service was attentive and friendly but if the food isn't great it doesn't really matter especially when you spend nearly $200 for 4 people.

Had lunch there today. Had the senior special ravioli with meat sauce, and a small pizza. Both were delicious. Rose our waitress was a crack up. We'll be back.

I love this place! The lasagna is awesome! I love the bar next door (they do business together). Friday nights were Karaoke nights, the atmosphere is friendly and fun and the beer is coooooold! Bands play at times, too. Check it out!

Love love love this place. Great pizza, great food, large portions. But they get busy and can sometimes be understaffed. So just be patient and know that the god us worth the wait. Oh and the bread they bring to the table while waiting for your food is so effing delicious you?ll want to ruin your meal just eating it.
