REAL PASSION, REAL ITALIAN
For over 25 years, Gourmet Italia has been Temecula’s destination for authentic Italian cuisine, crafted with care from family tradition and the finest ingredients. Our menu reflects Italy’s rich culinary reputation — from comforting classics to refined Sicilian specialties — all made with premium ingredients that honor our heritage.
"Never had a decent meal from a great chef with lousy ingredients, but I've had a decent meal from a lousy chef with great ingredients"
- Alessandro "Alex" Prestifilippo, our founder

OUR STORY
Born in Piazza Armerina, Sicily, Alessandro Prestifilippo brought his passion for hospitality and tradition to California with a dream of opening his own restaurant.
In 1999, that dream became Gourmet Italia — a place where heartfelt service, family recipes, and old-world charm have come together for over 25 years...
Built on a Dream.
