Food was excellent and the service prompt and efficient. Parking is currently a challenge on busy evenings. The ambiance is ordinary. Go for the food and service, not for the environment. Cost is somewhat high but expected in Orange County. Recommended for a good meal but there are better choices for true "high end" experience.

The Baronne family reopens at a new facility, with an old world charm, combined with known quality of product and service. Tried their restaurant at its new location on coast Highway with a dear friend last Sunday, the three of us enjoyed all all of Franco‘s handmade pastas, Rich and heartwarming, sauces and delivered by experienced authentic Italian servers who make us feel like we are back in Italy as we enjoy our meal. Highly recommend, I also worry by sharing this that it’s just going to make it harder to get into when I try to return. It is one of the three best Italian restaurants in all of Southern California in my opinion.

First time dining there! Food was absolutely amazing! I’m Sicilian so know good Italian food. This was definitely a 10. Service was also outstanding. I had the stuffed gnocchi which were lthe most delicious soft, pillow pasta I’ve ever had!! I’m so happy I ordered them. The canoli was good but a little too flaky crust. I prefer a little thicker and harder but the cream filling was very traditional. I will definitely be going back there at some point. The owner, Donatella, was lovely and we discovered we are both from Modica, Sicily 🇨🇮

Fantastic food and hospitality! The pasta dishes are made with care and are bursting with flavor. The restaurant also offers a variety of other unique Italian dishes such as their stuffed cheese bread with prosciutto and truffle oil, and pork chop milanesa. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu.
