Crivello Ristorante Italiano

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Worth the drive from Riverside.
My husband and I were there last night for the first time and we were there last night for the first time and were impressed. The ambiance was very nice, although the band was too casual in appearance for the lovely decor of the restaurant and lounge. The music was better-than-average blues. House special martinis were creative and well executed. The menu is broad but focused. Value was good with entrees including bread and salad (Caesar was $1 extra and well worth it). To my delight the menu included 2 gnocchi dishes. I chose one in a gorgonzola cream sauce. It was the best gnocchi I have ever eaten, and the sauce was delicious. For regional comparison I put this on par with Pizzaioli in Chino, and the gnocchi is better.

Always good, prompt service, nice bar with music. To save money, skip the “specials” which are overpriced. Order off the menu where the prices are 1/2to 1/3 the price of the specials and bring your own wine. They have a reasonable corkage fee. We go there frequently.

One of the best Italian joints in the valley. I was there when Little Chris and the Nightcrawlers played some fabulous blues. It was a packed dance floor, excellent music, and great food. A wonderful night out....and Susan (our waitress) was great too!
