Citrone is the place to visit for truly amazing food, service, and a quality experience. My wife and I visit weekly to enjoy the Chef’s creative and delicious special menu items. The standard menu selections are equally extraordinary as Chef places his personal touch on each dish. His corn agnolotti, the prime beef carpaccio, and their selection of wagyu beef is a show stopper if you can appreciate quality ingredients and the attention to detail. My latest visit was an experience that will be long remembered. To compliment Chef, from the moment you arrive, the hosts and the wait staff are welcoming and intentional in creating an amazing experience. You must visit on several occasions to truly see how amazing the entire team is. Bring your appetite, an appreciation for quality ingredients, and a desire for expert techniques that you can enjoy close to home. If you live local in Redlands, or on a trip along the I-10 freeway, Citrone is a must-visit, particularly when Chef is serving the Alba or black winter truffles. Black truffle on the pistachio gelato is a must-try. Cheers!

Citrone Italian Chophouse is a beautiful restaurant that occupies the former Olive & Citrus building in Downtown Redlands. From its former location on Orange St, Citrone made a great move to this space so I was excited to make reservations and give Citrone a try.
My party and I arrived half an hour early for reservations. While my reservation was for the outdoor patio, I did let the host know we’re flexible with sitting inside – whichever section was ready first. However, we still waited 45 minutes to be seated. When the hostess approached our party, she said she would seat us in the private dining room. We were shown to an area between the kitchen and the restrooms where other Asians were seated. How odd. There was a booth in front of the bar that was empty for at least 10 minutes but wasn’t given to us. It was given to a Caucasian couple who arrived after we did but seated before we were.
As we got seated, we noticed another Asian family that was seated in the “private dining area” – they were also waiting to be seated (same reservation time as ours) earlier that evening. Weird to see that there was separation of groups…
Our server, Mary, was a sweet young lady. She was kind when taking our order but had to flag her down a couple times to refill my water – that should clue you in to how long we had to wait.
The service was super SLOW! We were at the restaurant for almost 3 hours. The pace of the food coming out was off and took longer than most restaurants. I don’t know if they had purposefully made the private dining guests wait longer than other patrons… sus.
As far as the food, we ordered the following:
* Bacon Brussel Sprouts – This was good and we shared this side as an appetizer. It would be best if it were roasted but I’m glad we had this to hold us over since the rest of the food came at a snail’s pace.
* Corn Agnolotti – The flavor had a natural sweetness from the corn and the pasta was cooked al dente. Flavor-wise, it was lacking something else on top of the truffle butter sauce. I think the sweetness from the corn made it harder to finish the dish. The presentation could be better, too.
* Tartufata – This had the perfect pizza crust. Light and slightly floppy. The wild mushrooms with truffle oil, pecorino, and mozzarella cheese were a good combination.
* Tagliatelle alla Bolognese – This was disappointing. While the tagliatelle was homemade, it was also overcooked, which made the pasta less appetizing. It is supposed to have wagyu beef, veal and pork in its sauce but seemed nonexistent. The whole dish just did not taste good.
I don’t mind paying for quality food but – let’s just say, Citrone wasn’t worth it.
We left underwhelmed. The food wasn’t special, the service was slow, the price doesn’t justify the food, and the experience was less than desirable. At least I know why I was never drawn to Citrone and why I cannot recommend them. It’s such a shame.

Amazing! Not only was the food on point but the staff were unbelievable. Our waiter was Manny and he was so wonderful with exceptional recommendations. We had 4 kiddos with us ages 9-12 and the Manager, Brandon, was just fantastic and made them all feel like it was their night. All of the staff were amazing but Brandon definitely made what was already an amazing dinning experience that much better. We ordered a little bit of everything and we’re not disappointed, it was all was delicious.

The service was spectacular. Emily was gracious, knowledgeable, and treated us like old friends. We would come here just for that level of attention.
Highly recommend: scallops and lamb chops.
The steak tend to be done toward the “well” side. So, I would order one level below your ordinary preference.
We had a half bottle of champagne and it was delicious.
Approx: $300 for two people with appetizers. No dessert

Food is good, and service is good. Also there’s a lot of vegan food on the menu that sounds good. Very good place to enjoy a nice dinner with your friends or partners.

Absolutely fantastic dinner experience. We made reservations in advance for an early seating. Sat outside on the patio, which had plenty of heaters. The restaurant is well laid out with great comfort between tables. The food was incredible and our server was knowledgeable of every dish. The manager came around to say hello to every table, which made for a perfect ending to our meal. Will definitely be returning for special occasions. We got a few things to share for the two of us and had food to take home. Dessert was fantastic, got the blood orange sorbet and apple pastry.

The food, the service and the atmosphere is beyond fantastic! Will definitely be back. Manny was our server and he was so kind, thorough and joyful. The entire staff genuinely looks happy to be there and that energy is contagious. My mom ordered the scallops which were heaven, and my dad and I split the sirloin- of the sirloin was that divine I can’t imagine how the ribeye would be. I loved it here and will definitely be back 🙂

There was no shortage of attention here—it was the defining virtue of this place. While Kimberly took care of us, nearly everyone who passed by looked over to check if we were comfortable or needed anything.
As we settled in for a fabulous dinner, the indoor and porch seating filled up quickly, advancing twice during the evening. It became clear that this two-year-old Italian eatery had already established itself as a local landmark.
Sitting on the charming, cozy porch, we ordered their signature appetizer. Patrizio, the executive chef, visited our table, carrying a twenty-five-year-old vinegar bottle—adding a touch of intrigue to our dish.
Between him, Kimberly, and Brandon (the owner), attention was never lacking in this bustling, packed restaurant.
The traditional Italian cuisine was exquisite. Though we’ve dined at fine Italian establishments before, the flavors here were uniquely distinct.
We soon discovered the secret behind this unforgettable taste: their ingredients were meticulously hand-picked and imported directly from Italy. The wine, the sauces, the cheeses, even the meat—carefully stored in the freezer—were sourced with precision. The restaurant itself was a testament to this commitment, with grocery aisles lining the space beside an impressive wine cellar, reinforcing their dedication to quality.
Even their **Hall of Fame** reflects their humble approach. While most restaurants proudly display such accolades in a highly visible spot for all to see, here, they quietly tuck theirs away in the back of the kitchen—a true testament to their understated confidence.
Altogether, our experience here was truly one-of-a-kind. The outstanding food, the exceptional service, and the personal touch from all, Kimberly , the chef, and the owner—who made it a point to greet every guest—turned this visit into something unforgettable.

What a wonderful experience. From the friendly staff who greeted us on arrival to our departure, everything was great. Our waiter Manny was attentive and very knowledgeable about the food sources and origins. He took time to explain the dishes and gave great recommendations. We were celebrating a birthday and the restaurant made a special dessert plate and gave a signed card! Thank you for a delicious dinner and delightful evening.

What a gem I found, while I had to stop to charge my car, just across the street. It turned out to be an amazing experience. Not only did the kitchen make me some food at closing, but the service was wonderful,! They served the most delicious non alcoholic champagne ( I had a long drive in front of me) they even had real Espresso and served it like in Italy, with brown sugar and a slice of lemon! Honestly, I didn’t believe the sophistication. And the bar tender was local , born and raised. Please stop here on your way to Palm Springs ! It is so worth it.
