   Front of house surly and unfriendly. Food good but not hot enough ( lukewarm at best… caccio e peppe and bolognese)?, sole was excellent. Garlic bread great. Millefolia dessert also good. Service outstanding( Valentino). Music very loud in an already loud place. Will give them another chance, food and service worth the return.

   A true gem of a Resturant in Newport Beach. Excellent and top customer service, food, vibe and charm of a Italian restaurant.

   I e been here a few times and it’s always was good. But yesterday was completely different. We ordered pasta and was waiting for it for 1.10 mins!! Our server came to us 1 time to tell us it’s coming, and we had to go to the front and remind them about! Instead of giving us a discount or a something complimentary, the lady brought us a plate of cheese! Overall it was very unpleasant experience and we won’t be coming back

   Was a Sabatino's regular. Hadn't yet been to Molo. Bravo on the redo of the restaurant. You kept the charm and made it more user friendly. The location, food, and atmosphere are great, but the service was tough, at best. It was more like self-help. Examples: it took forever for the server to take our drink order and my wife had to run into the kitchen to get utensils to eat our dessert. As an executive coach, I would high recommend that the serving system be altered or significant training has to take place for the service to equal the food. Not once did our server even stop at our table (while he was running by) to see if all was OK. The wait staff needs to be trained and there needs to be back up. Maybe a team approach would be best. There are lots and lots of people working in the restaurant, but they aren't necessarily serving the customers.

    Almost perfect. The food and choice of Italian wines were really good. Cocktail choices were a little light. The narrow room we sat in was very unique compared to other restaurants. Our server was very pleasant and attentive until it got busier. Then she visited adjacent tables multiple times before ours. We sat with empty glasses for so long, dinner came to the table first. By time the second round of drinks showed up, we were nearly done with dinner. Same for when we said we were all good after dessert-maybe 15 minutes before the check came. Would certainly come again, but would expect consistent service throughout
