The Inland Empire Restaurants

Downtown Riverside is home to a few ambitious restaurants, along with the familiar chains. The college town of Claremont has creative contemporary and ethnic fare. Innovative cuisine has become the norm in Temecula, especially at winery restaurants, some of whose chefs specialize in farm-to-table cuisine. The options are more limited in the smaller mountain communities; typically, each town supports a single upscale restaurant, along with fast-food outlets, steak-and-potatoes family spots, and perhaps an Italian or Mexican eatery. Universally, dining out is casual.

  • 2. Vince's Spaghetti Route 66

    $

    A swooping yellow neon arrow points the way to this boisterous family eatery, open since 1945. The restaurant has been in the same location since 1984, and claims to serve more than 25,000 miles of spaghetti every year. The menu is limited, but the execution is reliable. The penne-like mostaccioli with meat sauce and the meatball sandwiches are excellent choices. Gluten-free pasta and bread are also available.
