OMG the best Italian place ever. Everything is delish! The food and staff are amazing. Hugo is the best waiter ever. Juliano is the nicest man.
We were in holiday from the uk.. passing through Hesperia… needing food that wasn’t involving burger and or fries! The Italian food at Julianos was excellent. Small restaurant, staff friendly, service quick. Very pleased.
Even though this restaurant came highly recommended, I was very disappointed. I ordered the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. The Alfredo sauce was bland and seemed watered down. It was not creamy as I expected to get. The chicken was unseasoned and bland. I also had the mozzarella sticks and it was very different than expected. I was more like a breaded cheese patty that was fried. It was okay but felt it was over priced for what you get. The one part I enjoyed was the bread. I felt it was the best part of the meal. This was my first visit there and I have zero desire to go back. I wish I could have given a better review!
The good and Service was amazing
Best Italian in the high desert. This is a quaint, cozy spot where the owner or his son are present daily. A hidden gem, as I probably said in my first review. I love to share this restaurant with friends and fellow foodies.I have been eating here for about 5 years now. I can’t get enough of their food. The food is on point with consistency every time. I’ve never been let down or disappointed. I try to keep trying more things off the menu besides my favorites and find new favorites. I actually ate there twice just this week.The Chicken Parmesan has a thin slice of eggplant on top which is out of this world. I pair mine with double capellini pasta side with extra marinara. The chicken is tender and flavorful. It’s my go to first choice here.My second most ordered item is the capellini con pollo al pomodoro. I get mine without chicken usually, I just love this dish without the meat.The chicken Marsala was fork tender and is a mushroom and garlic lovers dream.The antipasto salad is huge with piles of meat, tomatoes and cheese. I could probably drink their Italian dressing with no shame.The Polpettine, or meatballs rather are perfectly flavored and juicy.The trancia di carne a la griglia Hugo style (spicy) is delicious. Steak and their sauce is a match made in heaven.The Alfredo, arrabbiata, and vodka sauce are amazing. My favorite is their marinara sauce. It’s perfect.The fried mozzarella is fresh triangle slices fried to perfection.The stracciatella soup is my favorite. The broth, spinach and egg is a great warming addition as a cup of soup to any meal or as a meal in the bowl option.The kids menu is perfect size for the price and my kids love eating their spaghetti and meatballs.Oh by the way the bread is fresh and amazing. Just the regular break and butter is a perfect start to any meal here. They also have a cheese bread appetizer but the fresh bread wins it for me.I hope you enjoy this place as much as I do.
Our 2nd time here. This time for Valentine's day/her bday. They were very busy (I checked in and they said 30 - 45 minutes) 20 minutes later we were seated. I had Eggplant Parmigiana and my Valentine had Manicotti. Both were delicious. Everything was perfectly prepared. Our new favorite Italian restaurant in th High Desert.
Stopped by here after my Vegas trip as it was on the way back. This place a nice hole in the wall treasure. You should definitely stop by here. I got the pasta alla vodka and the lasagna. Both were really great but if I had to choose, the pasta alla vodka was the winner. All of it tasted fresh and delicious, that sauce and a bit different than the usual as well. Overall it was some place I’d be stopping by more often if I lived in the area. Their tiramisu as well was quite light, fluffy and tasty.
I totally recommend this restaurant, hands down YES where else would you get the handsome owner serving you. full bar too!!! food is excellent, taste is authentic. service is excellent too!! my new go to for Italian.
Food was good. I had a chicken fettuccine and the chicken was a tad underwhelming, the pasta was good tho. Also had the meatball sub and it was solid too. I loved the flavor of the marinara sauce, it was quite nice
Delicious dishes! The red sauce is sooo authentic and tasty. Pasta and fish plates were prepared nicely. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Affordable prices. Definitely recommend ??
