  Foretti’s was on the recommended list for Marriott Vacation Club Newport Coast guests and it didn’t disappoint! We started with the golden yellow beets which was refreshingly good with its wild berry dressing. We went with traditional Italian dishes - pollo parmigiana with ziti and linguine clams both of which were delicious! Portions were generous enough for us to take home and enjoy again the next day! Highly recommend and we’ll definitely try again when we’re back in the area. Place was busy so best to make a reservation and beware parking was a little tough. For Marriott Vacation Club owners, don’t forget your discount card and get 10% of your dinner (excluding alcohol)!

  I do not recommend the patio/parking lot seating. Given it is not part of the main restaurant, service was spotty at best. Once served, the food was excellent. Recommend the cioppino and lamb chops.

  Salmon and octopus carpaccio appetizer was quite good and a little spicy. Pasta puttanesca with shrimp was overcooked (with the pasta falling apart) and the over abundance of sauce made the entire dish soupy—the flavor was good, but not delicate. Seafood risotto was also soupy :( Service was very good. Atmosphere is quite nice: you feel like you’re in a crowded and noisy European café

  Foretti's was recommended to us as an authentic Italian restaurant. It did not disappoint! Robert was our waiter and was fantastic. This is a small restaurant with a great vibe. Our first visit. You could tell many of the patrons were regulars. We had a Caesar salad and Baked Ziti with a Long Island Iced Tea; and the house salad with Meat Ravioli and a glass of Moscato. We were celebrating our 49th wedding anniversary and they gave us our choice of dessert on the house. We picked a molten chocolate cake with vanilla Gelato. We loved everything about Foretti's save one - the parking is challenging. They seem to do a robust take out business. If you do go dine in, suggest making reservations.

  We drove from Denver to celebrate the 4th of July in California. I found this gem and am so glad that I did! The food was delicious! I have to eat gluten-free, and I was excited to see house made gluten-free pasta on the menu. We showed up without a reservation, but the gentleman running the establishment let us squeeze in between reservations. The service was friendly, the food flavorful, fresh, and sustaining, and the ambiance was chill but lively. I highly recommend.

  Staying at the Vea Hotel in Newport Beach for a conference and needed a good Italian place for dinner with colleagues. Foretti’s was perfect. Met the owner, Thaddeus, who was pleasant and engaging, and Robert did a terrific job as our server. Everyone enjoyed their meals which were presented beautifully, temps were perfect and each dish very flavorful. I personally recommend the Cacio y pepe. Highly recommended.

  Fantastic family run Italian restaurant. Food was outstanding (pizza and pasta) and service was friendly and helpful. One of our favorite meals on a week-long visit to Newport Beach. Will definitely return.

  We are from Minnesota and visiting Newport Beach with our daughter, son in law & 2 grandchildren. I was looking for a kids friendly menu and found this restaurant. We made reservations. We were also celebrating our daughter & son in law’s birthday. The atmosphere was great, the service was excellent and the food was delicious. The appetizers were amazing. They even brought out dessert for the birthday. The portions were large and the prices were reasonable. Next time we come to Newport Beach we will definitely eat here again.1@

  Amazing Spegetti and Meatball. The dish is so simple and yet so good. Great little place walking distance near the world famous Newport Beach.
