I came in to buy an Ice cream a drink , the cashier was so rude and racist . I paid and I said "thank you so much" this unprofessional rude cashier didn't even had the decency to respond back . I once again said thank you and still she ignored me. I've been here before so I decided to come back , never had I been treated this way . Never again will I come and will make sure to let me friends and family know not to come here

Medium 14" Pizza w/ Cheese olives sausage

Negative stars for the condescending response from the business owner. The cost of living in Newport is not an excuse for junk pizza. I could get less expensive and better tasting pizza in Beverly Hills, Aspen, London, NYC, and a slew of more pricey locales than the pigeon-poop covered Newport "FunZone"! Lol Go try Lucali or Pizzana, then get back to us about your high rent and supply chain issues. You are an embarrassment to restaurants and pizza makers in general.

pizza pete please avoid this spot.

ivan is the most disrespectful employee don't come to this place "i told you already" over a pizza cmon get you customer service professional don't be rude to customers no wonder this place is empty asf. neta- pariente don't come to this place go to "New Yokr style Pizza" please avoid this location by any means

Pizza is delicious and fresh as always! I always come back and the owners are willing to customize your toppings!

Pepperoni slice

Great place to stop after whale watching, they were quick, good amount of seasoning choices for your pizza, good quality, and the perfect crisp to the pizza.

Best pizza in Newport Beach

I went with the build-your-own pasta, penne with Mama D's original pink sauce and shrimp. Nothing fancy, just simple and delicious. And of course I had to have a Peroni with it, my favorite Italian beer. This is definitely one of my favorite Italian spots for any time of the day, but I especially love coming here during the winter. There's just something about the cozy, warm, family feeling that makes it even better.

Visited Mama D's on a Thursday night and it was a wonderful experience! The place was very lively,…read morebut right away we were greeted by a super friendly hostess and we only had to wait around 10 min for a table of 4. It felt like the perfect neighborhood Italian joint, not too prissy at all but comfortable and warm. Our server Caden was super friendly and attentive! He recommended the pink sauce which was absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed our food and the portions were very generous! I was also in heaven as a vegetarian, as most of the pastas are already vegetarian, and you can add protein for an extra charge. So there were so many options which was really exciting for me haha. The cherry on top of our amazing meal was when they brought out warm cookies for us with our check. It was such a nice touch that we appreciated :) Would definitely come back here!!

We had such a great experience at Buona Forchetta! We started with the gluten-free focaccia bread…read moreand Burrata Caprese, both delicious. For dinner, I had the penne pesto with chicken, which was full of flavor and so good. Our friends ordered a gluten-free pasta dish and gluten-free pizza, and they absolutely loved both. The pizza had an especially great texture and the flavors were delicious--it's always nice to find a restaurant with such good gluten-free options! The service was quick, friendly, and efficient, making the whole experience even better. We all enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back!

Really Good Food, With a Few Misses…read more We had a reservation and arrived right when they opened. Overall, we had a really good meal. The service was good--not amazing, but certainly nothing to complain about--and pretty much everything we ordered was very good. We started with the calamari and added the "five jumbo shrimp" for an extra $8. The calamari itself was excellent, especially with the red sauce that comes with it. The only disappointment was the shrimp. They were definitely not what I would consider jumbo--actually pretty small. We ran into the same issue later when I added five shrimp to my bucatini. The focaccia was a 10/10. Absolutely amazing. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. Both salads we ordered were huge and delicious. Great portions and really fresh. Now, the pizza. I'm a pizza snob, and this was very close to the pizza I've had in Italy. The dough was perfectly chewy with a really nice char underneath, and the toppings were excellent. My wife ordered the Martina, which had mozzarella, pepperoni, red onion, oregano, crushed red pepper, arugula and truffle oil. It was a lot going on in one bite, and honestly pretty difficult to pick up and eat, but that's part of the deal with Neapolitan pizza. All of those flavors came together really well. My dad had the lasagna, my two kids split a cheese pizza, and I ordered the bucatini and added porcini mushrooms. The porcini mushrooms were fantastic and really elevated the pasta. One other thing worth mentioning: two people at our table ordered the local blonde beer, and both beers came out with an excessive amount of foam. They were waiting around 10 minutes for their beers, and a lot of the beer was essentially going down the drain because of the foam. Hopefully that was just a one-off issue. Overall, we had a great meal and I would definitely come back. The food was the star of the show, especially the focaccia, salads and pizza. The shrimp situation was disappointing considering the "jumbo" description and extra charge, and there were a couple of service/beverage issues, but neither would keep me from returning.

Al's New York Cafe exceeded my expectations!…read more We ordered through DoorDash and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of everything we received. We ordered the kids' spaghetti with meat sauce and mushrooms along with a Caesar salad topped with cucumbers, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Everything arrived fresh, flavorful, and well packaged. The portion sizes were incredible, especially the kids' pasta! It was packed with spaghetti, hearty meat sauce, and mushrooms, and honestly could have easily fed two kids. The Caesar salad was crisp, fresh, and generously loaded with cucumbers, tomatoes, mushrooms, crunchy croutons, and Parmesan cheese. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that doesn't skimp on portions while still delivering great quality, even through a delivery service. The food was delicious, the value for the price was excellent, and we'll definitely be ordering from Al's New York Cafe again!

We called in our order and it was ready when we got there. I love their meatballs and the lasagna is so good. They also have great spaghetti and it all comes with garlic bread, which is loaded with garlic. What we really love here as well are their cold sandwiches. Most subs are not great, but not at Al's. They know how to make them and the small size is perfect. As to their pizza, it is just great. We love their white pizza and always get that to go.

I am late to write this review but we have been coming to romano since it opened on the peninsula…read more They have die hard staff who have stayed since they opened and I love that when we dine here, we recognize the staff. Here are some of the dishes that we just can't get enough of. Our usual go to's are: sauteed mushrooms appetizer, pesto fettucine with shrimp and the chicken parmesan with rosa sauce. Please do not skip dessert. Their cheesecake is one of the best I've ever had (including NYC cheesecake). Each month they have a different flavor cheesecake and literally every flavor we have tried has been phenomenal. We even ordered a full pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving ($90) and it was the star of the dinner. Our entire dinner party LOVED the cheesecake. Once we tell our daughter we are going to Romano for dinner, she will immediately say "If I eat my dinner, can I have cheesecake?" Romano is incredible italian food on the peninsula (psssst, it's 1000% better than Mama D's!)

Was in the area with my friend and chose to have an early dinner here. Definitely wasn't…read moredisappointed! The place has a very cozy and homey vibe with many pictures showcasing its beautiful Italian history. I ordered the chicken alfredo, and it was splendid. Pasta was al dente, the sauce was rich and creamy, there was nothing to complain about. We were also given complimentary bread and butter plus a salad. Our waitress was so nice, checking up on us if we needed anything throughout our time there. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this restaurant!
