The Mission Square Restaurant & Lounge

Highlights:Amazing soup of the day - the butternut squash was to die for. It was one of the best soups that I have ever had across 10+ years of trying these types of soups.My family quite enjoyed the Seafood Pesto Linguini (with scallops, etc.) as well. The veal was ok. The courtyard and outdoor seating was very nice. Beautiful lighting and staff was very nice. The food was absolutely worth the price.Though it was a bit loud (there was a party in an adjacent ballroom), I actually quite liked that it was loud. It was a nice contrast.

Today was the first full sit down experience me and my husband had here since we celebrated our wedding reception here a year ago. It's a gem in Whittier and the venue was memorable at a we had a blast and the time of our lives, so did our family and friends! The manager Fred was easy to work with. He's a busy guy but manages to pull off his events with decent pricing. Today all the food came out fresh to order. The bread and garlic olive oil alone make it worth coming here. The service was also great. Portions are pretty good size as well. Would definitely come back!

Very peaceful ambiance and smiling young servers in college.Quicker service if I arrived right after they open.Always ask experienced servers what's their favorite If they're new servers, ask them to go ask chefs, if there's specials that day.

The ambiance is just lovely. It's the perfect place for a quiet celebration. Even if it's just celebrating the day. I've dined there a few times. The food is just what you'd expect from a place like this. It's consistently delicious from the bread and herb infused oil to the salad and main course. There's an understated elegance that permeates everything. It reminds me of being in Italy.

Parking can be found on the street. Service was great here and everyone was so friendly. Very pretty at night since they turn on the fairy lights. We got the salmon pizza, which came with smoked salmon and was pretty good! We also got the clam linguine which had a light flavor, but was very enjoyable especially with the amount of clams it came with. The calamari was the star of the show, we got 2 orders! It was lightly battered and so fresh tasting. For dessert we finished off with the crème brûlée which was probably the best one I've had from any restaurant. Overall, good place for Italian food and vibes... it is on the pricier side though!

The BF and I were invited to dinner for New Years eve. We dined al fresco on the patio, and kept warm by patio heaters. We started with freshly baked bread dipped in olive oil, which was quickly dispatched by the BF lol The menu had exotic dishes with veal, lamb and saffron as well as traditional favorites like lasagne. My own complaint, is that the food took a long time to arrive, but it was definte worth the Wait! We even indulged in dessert, and the tiramisu was sinful!

The food was delicious!! The service was great and the vibes were amazing!! Came here during the holiday season and it was all decorated for Christmas! I really enjoyed dining here and would definitely come again. Top quality service, everyone was super nice and really fast.

Due to a special event outside, we were seated inside. All was well until all tables were seated. It became very loud and hard to hear one another. The food was good. Salads were fresh. I had the Salmon with Risotto. The bread they serve at the table is delicious.

I had the chicken Limone and appetizers are great.Service was great and attentive.The place is very elegant and quiet.

First time dining here. Lovely outdoor patio with heaters. Great musician playing on Mondays. We had salad & eggplant pizza that was excellent. Service prompt and attentive. Highly recommend.
