I need more stars ! The old feel ambience and the wonderful scents from the kitchen as you enter will keep you there. Menu offers a wide variety of appetizers, salads, veggie meals, entrees & spirits. BEWARE...portions are very generous The marinara is blended so uniquely as to not allow any one flavor to dominate your palate. Entree is accompanied by soup of the day or Salad. My house salad was beautiful and the House Dressing is highly recommended. An array of wine or one of their many cocktails is a great accompaniment to your meal. Leave room for the hand dipped chocolate cannoli or the highly recommend Tiramisu. Plenty of free parking. This is a definite must try!

Stopped in to try the place out and was pleasantly surprised. Our Server Emma gave top notch service, and was super sweet. It was pretty busy being a Saturday night so after we ate we moved to the bar so we didn't hog the table and to get a better seat to watch the game. The bartender Kit, did not disappoint with her knowledge of mixed drinks and personality. The wife and I had reservations at another restaurant this coming weekend but have decided to cancel them and come here instead! Try the Chicken Parm. You will NOT be disappointed!

Amazing. Moving from Tucson to the small town of Corona, I thought I would have to sacrifice the atmosphere and quality of a killer restaurant. Not True! Argenziano's delivers on every level and then some. They have a signature sulfate-free wine (how chic), homemade sauce so good I'm having trouble staying away from it and an upscale menu with small town prices. As a vegan, I thought I was doomed, but the staff was accommodating and remembered my preferences after my first visit. Kit, the manager, will make your day. She's worth the visit, alone. I plan to become a regular. Argenziano's is the icing on the cake of this gorgeous town.

The plain pasta with meatballs was comforting and delicious, and the Italian wedding soup had a great spicy kick with fresh rolls on the side. The sausage and pepperoni pizza was amazing — flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Great meal all around!

This place was great. I was shocked to see it packed on a Wednesday evening, but we showed up right at sunset and watched the most epic lightning storm as well as a gorgeous sunset. Ella was attentive, friendly, efficient, very good at communicating, and incredibly beautiful. We were disappointed that the ribs were unavailable and to hear that honey mustard is not even an option for dipping sauce, but nonetheless it was not her fault and appreciate the way she told us. She delivered world class service. My Wagyu burger was fantastic, though I think it was missing bacon now that I think about it, and my Mexican Cream Ale was delicious and quenching. My coworker enjoyed his Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo despite the heartbreak of learning he couldn’t have ribs, but I am sure we will be back to try them another time. I know he will return, as he lives within walking distance. That was our first time there and we both left very satisfied.

It's definitely more American Italian but the people knocking this restaurant for that reason are out of bounds. The food is solid and the service was very friendly. We went for lunch and got the green chile bolognes and the red clam linguine. Both exceeded our expectations. I would recommend dressing on the side for the salads as there was a lot on them when we received our sides. That was literally the only knock I could give thisnplace though. If you're in the area it's a solid choice for the money.
