Foretti’s CDM established itself as a highlight of the Newport Beach dining scene when it opened in 2013. Operating under the new ownership of longtime Restaurateur and Level 1 Sommelier Thaddeus Foret, we continue to prepare our signature recipes, created by the restaurant’s namesake chef and his culinary team—many of whom remain in our kitchen today.

Foretti’s is a celebration of Italian traditions, specializing in authentic Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana-certified wood-fired pizzas baked in a 900 degree oven with the same techniques and ingredients used in Naples, Italy.

We also feature house made pastas and favorite dishes from across Italy, expertly paired with craft cocktails and a curated selection of Italian and California Wines; several from Orange County wine owners.

Thad Foret brings more than 30 years of experience in hospitality to Corona del Mar, and has been a standard bearer for restaurant operations in the region.

    If you like dining out in CDM, Foretti’s will delight you. Owner Thad Foret and Master Chief Michael Medina offer an excellent menu with friendly attentive service in a neighborhood ambience. Our favorite hostess Monica greeted our birthday party with cheer. My wife loves Foretti’s meatballs – she always has them. Our guests had the Scampi Ravioli and the Scallop Special – both excellent. The deserts were so good we had five! Always a wonderful time at Foretti’s.

    Server was attentive and informative describing entrees and wine. Service was speedy. Pizza was great and my husband said that the scallops and pasta side were excellent.
