Restaurants in Sun City, California

Sun City, California and the communities surrounding it are known for their retirement appeal. So it should come to no surprise that the restaurants there are filled with original recipes, home cooking and a slice of nostalgia. On October 1, 2008, Sun City incorporated into the city of Menifee. So if you have had a tough time finding restaurants there, never fear. All of your favorites are still there. The city may be called Menifee now, but that home cooking has not gone anywhere.

Giovanni's

This restaurant is family-owned and proud of it. The Powers family is involved, from top to bottom, in their establishment. The daughters wait tables and every Thursday and Saturday night the owner, Tom Powers, sings for the customers enjoyment. A lot of love goes into the food at Giovanni's. They have a wide variety of fare, including everything from Chicken Parmigiana to Barbecue Pork Ribs. Try one of their specialty pizzas or create your own. You won't leave hungry.
