Dining room at Anaheim White House, Anaheim, CAAnaheim White House restaurateur Bruno Serato pours on the charm in this restaurant's décor, cuisine and service. The menu, piloted by longtime chef Eddie Meza, offers something rather different than most Italian restaurants, tempering Northern Italian styles with French sensibilities. Several years back, Serato decided to make the food presentation as unique as the flavors on your plate, which is evident with an artistic Italian flatbread in the shape of a swan and the leaning tower of Pisa. Don’t miss starting with the “Caterina” ravioli. A dish named after Serato’s mother, the green-and-white-striped pasta is filled with Fontina cheese and surrounded by a surprisingly good espresso sauce. Another dish worth trying is ravioli filled with Bourgogne escargots, pungent garlic and fresh parsley. For a crowd, order the “Jackie O.,” an invention by pastry chef David Lorenzo, who creates fantasy sculptures from caramel and sugar and then surrounds the plate with bite-size cakes, pastries and chocolate-covered strawberries. Serato and his genteel managers and service crew know their wines, so ask for a recommendation from the well-stocked international list.

Fabulous OC Fine Dining

This restaurant was amazing! My husband took me here for our 3 year anniversary. The house was so charming and elegant. Everyone there treated us like VIP's and the service was phenomenal! I order the special, the short ribs paired with a giant stuffed prawn and my husband ordered the NY steak. We couldn't get over how delicious it was. We decided to go big and order their famous Jackie O dessert. It was like something out of the Food Network. The presentation was awesome. Al in all it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!
