Wine list outstanding. Very expensive but worth the price!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMThe restaurant was very quietThe restaurant was very quiet as only a few people dined during the lunch hour. For us this was perfect as we could have a conversation. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly staff. The food is good and is a bit on the high end for lunch time dining. For an Italian restaurant I was expecting more pasta dishes and I don't remember any on the menu. The menu is different but that is what makes this restaurant quaint and different.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat ambiance and feel. ReallyGreat ambiance and feel. Really good food. If you love wine pairings with the right food; this is your place. We went with another couple and had a great time sharing and tasting the different dishes. The wait staff was very friendly and fun.

My wife can't eat lactose or gluten so at an Italian restaurant that's wonderful.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMA-Ma-Zing!!!!I have been to Onotria for several work and charitable events but never as a casual diner. My husband had read some previous reviews as he had never been there before and was skeptical. He said we were either going to love it or hate it! I knew it would be the former and it certainly was! The menu is simple but pleasing to everyone! We had the stuffed zucchini blossoms that took us back to our recent trip to Sorrento! The wine list was extensive and reasonable. We had an amazing bottle which complemented the wonderful rib eye and filet that we each had. Their bread is amazing too! We will certainly be back and bring our friends!4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was my first visit andThis was my first visit and I will definitely return.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMFoody-licious! luncheon....LOVE THIS!

Suggested pairings for each foood item on menu. That was a nice touch. We had Sergio for waiter. Very Italian! I intend to go back when I am next in Orange County.

Zabaglione - OMG, please leave room for this
