Always excellent Mediterranean cuisine, with great service. A very special place to eat.
Mike Perdew
Moved in close by .the wife and I split a fried motserrella stick and OMG. It will make a wonder how and why is this so dammed good. The test of dinner was great. But what a way to start
Yvette Morris
As always...the food was amazing!
Bryan Boggs
The best Italian food restaurant in OC, period.
Emma Reyes
Delicious, healthy options. Always friendly and lovely staff. Only wish it were a bit closer to enable more frequent visits.

We were turned on to this place by the physicians at UCI Medical center. This was there secret place to get amazing food and service without a crowd. Boy were they right. For 15+ years we have been enchanted with Pepe and Mascarpones. Never had a bad meal or experience here. The fried cheese appetizer will change your perception of great fried cheese, it’s mind blowing. When he has the Chilean Sea Bass or Venison on special, get it. Other wise you can dream up any pasta dish you want and they will make it for you, off menu. They also make the best cheesecake around to finish off a zesty meal. We have celebrated birthdays, promotions, anniversary’s here. It’s definitely a gem in little ole Orange.

Amazing selection of food & nice ambience. The staff are very attentive. You MUST try their assortments of homemade cheesecake (to die for!)

You can drive right by and not see it. Almost all parking (Plenty of it) is in the rear. We were able to park right in front of the front door on the street. We were seated right away and noticed it was kind of dark, but felt like grandma's place. The selection was very large. The food portions were not ment for just one person. We both needed to go bags. We found our food to be way above average. Well prepared and served piping hot. Delicious comes to mind, but not strong enough. Way better. If you are looking for authenic Italian food this is about the best you will find in SoCal. By the way, we were here for a Valentines Day dinner. Most places we looked at had a different menu and doubled the price. We had to make a reservation, but ordered off the menu and regular prices.

The BEST Italian food! From the seafood, to the pasta, to the dessert and everything in between. Yum!! Be sure to make a reservation.

Outstanding! Been looking for an good Italian place that wouldn't break the bank and wasn't named Olive Garden. I found a great one!

Mascarpones is the BEST italian restaurant I have ever had. I will choose no other for delicious pasta. I order the pesto ravioli and the greatest cheesecakes known to man! I give them 5 stars because 6 isnt an option!

My husband and I visited here for the first time last night and were absolutely blown away. It’s small and quaint but the food was by far better than anything else we’ve had. It was very high quality but the prices were very reasonable. We loved the atmosphere and will definitely be back! Possibly with some friends!

Miguel Quintana Valdez
Excellent service! Excellent food quality. Feels very cozy inside and feels like a family owned place. It Probably is.
Sandy Arion
Literally a hidden gem. Doesn't even look like a restaurant from the outside. Cozy atmosphere of 2 dining rooms. Excellent service by all. The owner greeted all the guests. Family operated which is nice to hear. Such a lovely little restaurant to dine at.
Richard Paquette
My wife and i have been three times now. Fairly sturdy Italian fare. Seems every dish is very heavy with butter or lard and we are just at a point in life that we suffer after eating while the heavy mass works its way thru our system. Won't be going back
Erik Starr
This place is always amazing. Best Italian Restaurant in OC by far!! Get the lobster stuffed ravioli if it available as a special!!
Ginny Salas
Please visit this Family run restaurant. Let's keep them in business. I think the large chains will be fine but it is places like Marscapone that are really struggling because of Covid. This is the first place I want to have a date with my husband when we are free to go out again. Ginny Salas

Very yummy authentic Italian food!!! Ordered the Polenta Contadina (a must try!) My family absolutely loved it and we will be definitely back again. Staff was very nice and the service was top tier. It will always be a wonderful and memorable dinner!
Michelle Rojas
Real Italian Food.This was our second time here, I take out the resident's from the assistant living facility for lunch outings. This place always Wow's them, the original decorations, FOOD, server's. This place is amazing. They always take care and treat us all with care and patience. Quiet and lunch hours are never too crowded.
Doly Deka
If you are in the downtown Los Angeles area and looking for a great dinner, this is definitely the place!
Terry Collins
You can taste the love in the food. Marvelous atmosphere makes a beautiful combination. If you haven't been, then put high on your list to try. You find yourself going back again and again. Enjoy!
A Lyons
Absolutely a fabulous meal. The ambiance is very nice. The wine choices are pretty good but the authentic Italian flavors will keep me coming back. Truly a hidden gem.
Oliver Eleanor
My dishes came out pretty quickly, which allowed me to enjoy my food slowly, without feeling rushed at all. Both my main server and the rest of the other servers that brought out my food were friendly and professional.
Russell Foster
Best Italian in Orange!! Pepe is very present and hands on. Food is great, daily specials are always something intriguing and worth checking out. Wine selection on point. Atmosphere os so well done, once you walk inside you cant even tell you are actually in a commercial building. The Tiramisu is great, and I don't even really like ministrone soup, but I get that instead of salad every single time I go here. Easy to miss just driving by it... but don't
Peggy Rose
Amazing authentic Italian food. Even the owner was Italian. Loved hearing the works speak. Can't wait to go back! Recommend reservation as a small intimate location and very busy. Thanks for working us in without reservation!
Tom R
Friendly staff, good menu, take your time and enjoy the wine. Definitely try some cheesecake.
