- DDianeNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIt was an amazing time, even for our toddler. The chef was so interactive with our little one through the window and provided dough, sauce, and cheese to make his own pizza. It can be challenging to dine with little ones, but the entire staff engaged with our child and they had a blast thanks to the friendly staff. Food was amazing as usual - it is the best pizza you’ll have in California. Pasta was cooked to perfection as well. I look forward to visiting again with our little one.More infoBuona Forchetta Newport BeachPrice: Moderate• Italian• Newport Beach•4.7
- NNicolasOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoRomantic/beautiful place for a date night or even a celebration for dinner! We went for Valentines Day. They had a set menus which was all delicious, the price was a little high, but nothing too crazy. Drinks were delicious and service was near perfect. They were late on some drinks and food but our server Rocky made sure we got those quickly after she noticed they were taking a little long. Even provided us with free dessert for the wait on some of our food and drink but overall good experience!More infoRED O Taste of Mexico - Newport BeachPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Newport Beach•4.6
- DDennisChicago / Illinois •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe will be returning when in the area. The service, food and atmosphere could not have been better. One of our party of three was delayed due to the severe weather conditions and the wait was not uncomfortable as the owner and our server were very accommodating. We shared a great conversation about food and the quest for good tasting ingredients. My broccolini was cooked to perfection, the Caesar was just like they just picked it for the meal. My wife's Gnocchi shrimp was melt in her mouth delicious. Our guests Penne Vodka with sausage was as good as any you will find outside of Italy. What more can one say other than this gem of a restaurant is well worth the drive to experience yourself.More infoMoloPrice: Expensive• Italian• Newport Beach•4.7
