DELICIOUS food and drinks, gorgeous interior and phenomenal wait staff! The spaghetti aglio olio was absolute perfection. They were very accommodating of my party's food allergies and restrictions. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Pro tip: check out the bathroom wallpaper (it's incredible) read more

Such a fun spot with surprisingly good food! Parking is on the street, I believe you can also valet but I found parking no problem on the weekend. High reccomend reservations. We sat outside & it was fun to people watch. Inside there are seats but it was very loud with the DJ (the host said that there were seats that weren't loud). Ambiance was fun & nice. We got some wine & I had the Rothschild Cesar salad & the pistachio pesto spaghetti both of which were amazing. Our server was lovely & attentive. Would def recommend. read more

Such a lovely restaurant located right off the beautiful E. Coast Hwy by the beach - had such a wonderful evening at Rothschild's! The service was just as amazing as the food! The steak was cooked to perfection. My daughter devoured the salmon and said it was one of the best she's ever had. I personally enjoyed the Lobster Ravioli the most - it was my favorite among all the other dishes we ordered. Definitely recommend Rothschild's if you're ever looking for a nice, cozy restaurant to have dinner. read more

Rothschild's - Italian Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

We have driven by here a dozen times and it always looks so inviting. We decided to look on open table to see what was available on a Friday at 6:30 and this popped up. Wow! What a cute spot! Everyone seems to know everyone. The owner says hello to everyone who walks in. We got a fun spot for 2 in the window. It was great people watching. We ordered an arugula salad, some cavatelli shrimp pasta and a bottle of wine. And of course, the famous garlic bread. Everything was flavorful and well executed. The service was fantastic. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. We wanted to sit at the bar, but it was full. Our server told us the story of the chef turned owner, and the family story. This is a gem that everyone should visit. It's independently owned and operated and we should all support that effort and love. P.S. peep the wallpaper in the bathroom. It's absolutely fantastic. We will be back! read more

I'm disappointed. I came here and picked up my order on a Saturday night 2/28/26. It was extremely busy and lively. I waited at the bar waiting to be greeted. No one cared to say "hi". I went over to a guy on the POS, told him I had an order. A older man came from behind me and put his hands on me and asked what I was doing at the bar alone and if I was having a fun night. Not sure who he was but he was hanging by the bar for a few seconds. 2 mins later, my food was handed to me. No body mentioned anything about them being out of my side. I drive 20 mins home, to only realize they got my order wrong. This place might be fancy and expensive but customer service should be important to treat EVERYONE with empathy and respect. This man George who talked to me about my wrong order, pretty much didn't care that the meal is not edible for me because of the veggies were not correct. Its the lack of respect and care he had that I am unhappy that they didn't bother to offer me a remake for another time. Instead, he tells me to call them next time to verbally tell them so they get it correct. Hmm with that attitude, I doubt there would ever be a next time. George says, "We can agree to disagree". Look, I ordered asparagus and cauliflower, the least you could have done was just make it ALL CAULIFLOWER but George refuses to hear my suggestion and just told me there is nothing they can do at this point, and think all I'm upset about is bc my meal has no asparagus. If an order says "ONLY ASPARAGUS AND ONLY CAULIFLOWER" then my order should be correctly made. If you're out of asparagus then just keep it ONLY CAULIFLOWER. Its really not that hard, yet George was extremely rude and not sympathetic/understanding that I can't eat the other veggies, which was touching the rest of my meal. I want a refund. A place like this should have much better guest service but I guess if you're not rich then they just assume they can mistreat you. Not returning and will not bring friends here. read more

An intimate, quintessential family owned restaurant in the heart of OC. Dim candle lit room, giving a very sexy and romantic vibe. Not only was the energy upscale but the food was absolutely delicious. Their pastas were just exquisite and all house made. Here's what we tried: 1. Spaghetti Maremont: house made pasta with generous crab meat and rick shrimp with mushrooms in a paprika cream sauce. Just the right amount of tomato sauce and spice making it easy to devour the whole dish. 2. Pistachio Pesto Sphaghetti: basil pesto with splash of lemon and chili topped with pistachio bites to garnish. Sooo incredibly good. A must order. Can add your choice of protein to it. 3. St Louis traditional Toasted Beef Ravioli: crispy ravioli ground beef filled. Yes it had a crispy shell which surprisingly very good. Highly recommend. 4. Of course we ordered an infamous martini: delicious victuals with a slight caffeine kick 5. Tiramisu: very good but honestly not much different from others I've tried. Overall highly recommend guys. Everything we had was just mind knowingly good read more

Food, ambiance and drinks were all divine. Staff were pleasant, but it took some time to get attention to our table of only 3... On a Saturday evening, the bar area shifted into more of a night life scene with a live DJ than a restaurant - mixed thoughts about the transition. Overall, beautiful food and drinks. read more

My friends and I had a very uncomfortable experience at Rothschild's. Before arriving, we called to ask if there was seating for four and were told that if we arrive in 10 minutes, we could be accommodated. We arrived in under five. When we spoke to the host in person, he told us there was seating for four and were told that if we arrived in 10 minutes, we could be accommodated. We arrived in under five. When we spoke to the host in person, he told us there was a nearly-three hour wait. When we calmly mentioned the phone call we had just made, he quickly became argumentative. This conversation took place at the host stand, which is located in a narrow hallway. People were constantly moving past us, and the restaurant itself was extremely small, crowded, loud, and chaotic, which made the interaction feel even more stressful and uncomfortable. During the exchange he forcefully placed his hand down on the host stand while speaking, which felt scary and intimidating. A nearby guest noticed what was happening and kindly offered us her reservation. Rather than handling this professionally, the host appeared irritated. After additional discussion he agreed to seat us but told us "here's the kicker, you need to be out by 8:00", making it clear that we were not welcome. We were polite and respectful throughout the entire interaction, yet the experience left us feeling dismissed and shaken. The way availability changed so drastically between the phone call and our arrival was confusing and disappointing. Based on this experience, I would not recommend. read more

My wife said next time she wants her entree to be comprised of the appetizer meatballs which are excellent, light and fluffy, as well as a side of pasta Alfredo. Next time I'll stick with the Lobster Ravioli instead of the Spaghetti Maremonte which was great nonetheless. My neighbor said he loved the salmon entree and always wants to get that. read more

I absolutely love this little restaurant, it's small and so cozy. I brought my mom here for Mother's Day and she absolutely loved it, the service was amazing. Our waitress was very quick and accommodating! There was a set menu for Mother's Day which included an appetizer, main dish, & dessert. For our appetizer, we ordered the - Caesar salad as my appetizer, I give that a 4/10. Unfortunately this salad was a little too fishy for my liking. I understand the salad dressing for Caesar includes anchovies but some places have less of a fishy taste. The croutons were delicious though! - My mom got the Veal & Ricotta meatballs, she gave it a 8/10, I however wasn't the biggest fan. I like my food a bit more on the salty side and my mom likes it less salty so this was perfect for her - My dad got the Ribollita, he gave that a 8/10! It tasted great and it was a very simple dish with Tuscan white beans, house made bone broth, & Black kale For our main dish we ordered the - Vodka Pasta: 7/10, I do like a lot of sauce on my pasta so it's more tasty and creamy. Unfortunately, this time I felt like there wasn't as much sauce and flavor but that's okay I've tried it other times and it was perfect. I do recommend trying it! - Pistachio Pesto Fettucine, this was my mom's dish and she loved it, she gave it a 9/10. - Lobster Ravioli, my dad gave it a 7/10, the portion was a bit small for him Lastly, for my dessert we ordered the -Rothschild Icecream Pie 10/10!!! I would recommend this over any of the desserts - Limoncello Cheesecake 7/10, I don't like anything lemon flavored but honestly this was very delicious - Tiramisu 9/10, i think all 3 of the desserts were incredible and I enjoyed it more than the main dishes Overall I think the price was great for what we received, the ambiance was great, my parents were happy so I'm happy! read more

The place was very cutely decorated for Halloween which was as great. The service was interesting, she was really nice but probably lacked the service needed for this kind of restaurant. The fettuccine bolognese was amazing. The pistachio pesto was not. It was very salty and lacked the Thai chili taste I was looking for. Drinks were nicely garnished for the season as well. read more

This was the last stop on my Newport Beach trip and I couldn't have asked for anyplace else to end. The exterior of this restaurant caught my immediately eye as I was driving past, and after looking at some of their dishes on Yelp I was sold. I came in a little over an hour before closing and met with smiles as if the restaurant just opened. Both pastas were made to order and tasted great. The cocktails were very unique with a nice presentation. Check this place out if you're looking for a cozy meal for dinner. read more

I can't express how much I love this place. Everything about it is exactly what I want out of a nice meal. The vibes inside are amazing and the bar is killing it. Service is top notch and the staff are all incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The food is excellent (and honestly some of the best OC has to offer in my opinion). It's a decent bill for a party of four with drinks but it's a worthy investment I'd make over and over again! read more

I come here very often its one of my go-to dinner/drinks spots in CdM. I'll stop in for a cocktail and small bite before heading out, or I'll stay for a full dinner sometimes after a walk down the beach or really just whenever I'm in the mood for Italian with a lively vibe. I like the crowd and the music, and it's always buzzing just right. The food is great and the bar scene here is fun whether it's a weeknight or weekend. I find myself coming back again and again read more

Such a classic Italian dinner experience. I loved how cozy it was and also great that it had a pretty lively bar up at the front with dining rooms in the back. We ordered the Garlic Bread, Brussel Sprouts and Caprese to start then split the Caccio e Pepe with chicken for our main with some Chianti to drink. This was definitely a solid meal and our server was lovely. Again, I've said Italian hasn't been super solid here in OC but I'm learning of more and more spots and this is definitely one for the list! read more

Paired well with the creamy sauce - Oreo ice cream pie (4.5/5): Super sweet but so good. Love the crust read more

Rothschild's delivered a lovely dining experience in the heart of Corona Del Mar. Parking can be a bit tricky, street parking is limited, but there is valet available for $15 in the back alley, which made things easy. I chose to sit outside, so I didn't get to fully experience the interior ambiance of the restaurant, but the patio was still a great spot to enjoy the evening. I started with the escargot, which was served piping hot and full of rich, buttery flavor. For my main course, I ordered the spaghetti Marmonte, and it was also extremely hot and absolutely satisfying, comforting, flavorful, and well-prepared. Although I skipped dessert, the espresso martini more than made up for it. It had just the right amount of sweetness and was the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, great food, solid service, and a classic Corona Del Mar dining option. I'll definitely be back to experience the full restaurant next time! read more

Unfortunately at last call we purchased $150 of drinks for the 6 of us only to be told 5 minutes later that they were closing and that we had to pound out $30/drinks. Completely unacceptable!!Furthermore the manager/owner engaged us telling us "it's my liquor license ". Whelp, don't sell patrons drinks knowing they have less than 5 minutes to drink em. Poor business model! Hopefully the $150 was worth it!!! You Lost way more than $150 tonight Rothchilds....could have been avoided. read more

Rothchilds is a staple of Corona Del Mar. been there for years. Last time i was there was in the late 1980s. Decided to go back and give it another go after constantly driving by. They have valet parking in the back $9 The ambiance is terrific. Several dining room experiences. Including a street side patio on PCH. Overall ambiance 4.5 stars. Bar area 4.5 stars. Staff 5 stars. The reason for my overall 3 stars was the food. While fairly priced, the actual preparation and quality were not to standards. Cesar salad greens were brown. Over dressed. Nice presentation with the anchovies on top. But offset by the brown edges of the romaine. The shrimp piccata was over sauced. IMO. Too many capers. Perhaps an attempt to cover the chewy shrimp. Overcooked. I had the swordfish and it too was overcooked. As for the pastas they were good. Should we return, would most likely stick w their pastas. Wine list was good. But the wine is not held at proper temperature. 55 to 65 degrees for most reds. Clearly room temperature. In the 70s. Again, staff and service is great. Food quality needs some work. read more

My daughter and her friends had a truly unsettling experience here. Before arriving, we called to ask if there was seating for four. The woman who answered the phone told us that if we could arrive within 10 minutes, she could accommodate them. We got them there in under five. When the girls entered, they spoke with the host and requested a table for four. Immediately, they felt unwelcome. He appeared annoyed by their presence and told them there was a 2 hour and 55 minute wait. They explained the phone call they had just made, and he responded that the best he could do is seat them in 1 hour and 55 minutes. His tone was condescending and aggressive enough that a nearby guest felt compelled to offer them her own reservation. When that guest offered her reservation, he said it was for two, not four. After some back and forth, he finally agreed to seat them but said, "Here's the kicker you have to be out of here by 8." It was about 7:10 at the time. At that point, I told the girls to leave and we would go elsewhere. All of the girls are in their early 20s, UC med and law students, all Asian. I have known them since they were children. They are polite, respectful, and absolutely did not deserve this treatment. I am not quick to label situations like this, but I am calling it what it was, racist and discriminatory. There is no reasonable explanation for how availability went from "come in right away" to nearly a three hour wait after he saw who they were. The next day, I called the restaurant to give the benefit of the doubt and see if this was a misunderstanding. I asked to speak to the manager. Frank answered and said he was the manager. When I began calmly explaining the situation, he immediately cut me off, raised his voice, and minimized everything that happened. He claimed he offered them a table and said, "How do you know your daughter isn't lying?" When I told him my daughter was with me and I could put her on the phone immediately, he hung up on me. At no point did he deny the behavior my daughter described. He never claimed they were rude or disruptive. Instead, he talked over me, became hostile, and berated me on the phone. It was defensive, aggressive, and completely unprofessional behavior I would expect from a toddler having a tantrum, not someone in charge of a business. I later learned that Frank was the host, manager, and possibly the owner, which makes this even more concerning. If this is how leadership behaves, it explains the experience entirely. He could greatly benefit from anger management and basic customer service training. This was unacceptable on every level and just sad. The girls just wanted to have a nice Christmas celebration on their break and instead they received discriminatory treatment. Not what you would expect from a 3 dollar sign restaurant. read more

Food was delicious. Dining room was very very loud. Crowd was pretentious but not restaurant fault. Food was so so good

This restaurant is so small and the tables are so close together. We went on a Saturday night and it was packed so it got really loud and we couldn't even hear each other talk. They have a DJ that plays great music though. I ordered the seafood pasta and it wasn't good. A smoky creamy sauce doesn't go with seafood and cheese. The waiter told me it wouldn't be heavy but that wasn't true. My friend got the lobster ravioli and didn't care for it either. The garlic bread was good though. My soda didn't get refilled until I asked and then I didn't want to ask for a second time so it sat empty for about half the meal. My water cup was empty by the end too. I didn't care for the service or food but I can see the appeal since it's a happening place to go in CDM. read more

As soon as you walked in you felt like you received a warm big hug. I love the ambiance so quaint. All the staff were very friendly and attentive which I value a lot when I go to a restaurant. The place is rather small so I highly suggest making a reservation in advance. Just to avoid a long wait. The main star of the show was their espresso martini. OH MY!!! This was the best espresso martini I have tried. I will be coming back for this alone. I also had a whisky sour and it was done to perfection! Those are my two favorite drinks and they were memorable! The pistachio pesto pasta was good! Nothing bad to say but there are other places I would prefer to eat Italian food. read more

Rating: 3.5/5 Nice and lively dinner spot! It gets pretty crowded and busy, so recommend making a reservation in advance. Loved the art and how the interior looked. They had valet parking, but we were able to get street parking. The food was okay. We got the Lobster Ravioli and Lamb Garganelli. It is filling, but nothing too outstanding. We really enjoyed the garlic bread though. Also got the espresso martini and liked it as well; the holiday tree design on it was a bonus. As for the service, our waitress was super nice.

Wonderful Spot. Great food & Ambiance. Sitting outside is a treat, great people watching

Rothchild's in Corona Del Mar has officially earned its place as one of our family staples. The cozy, welcoming vibe makes it an easy weeknight pick--but it's the food (and desserts!) that keep us coming back. The kids are completely hooked on the Cacio e Pepe--perfectly creamy, peppery, and always made even better with a side of grilled chicken. I usually go for their Caesar salad--you can't go wrong with either grilled chicken or salmon on top; both are fresh, flavorful, and just the right portion. This time, we started with the truffle fries and garlic bread--and wow. The fries were crisp and golden with just the right hit of truffle and shaved Parm, while the garlic bread was pillowy, buttery, and loaded with flavor. Total table-pleasers. And then... the Oreo pie. Honestly? It's the real reason we keep coming back. Cold, creamy, chocolatey, and ridiculously good. One slice is never enough. Shoutout to Debi, who always makes the experience next-level by custom ordering everything just how the kids (and I) like it. She's kind, patient, and truly makes you feel like family. Oh--and I tried a Last Word cocktail this time. Bright, herbal, and beautifully balanced. Clearly, their bar program knows what it's doing. Rothchild delivers every time--with flavor, warmth, and that neighborhood charm you can't fake. read more

After loving our first visit back in November, we decided to return to celebrate a birthday with some friends! We were able to make a reservation with ease online, but will note that with such an intimate / cozy dining room, we were fairly squished. There were times when our server asked our group to move so she could squeeze through, and others when she sort of just pushed through bumping a few of us. On that note, our server was just okay. However, she did bring a birthday dessert over which was very nice. As for the food and drink, everything was truly delicious per usual. If you've never been, you could just eat plates of the garlic bread and still leave happy! I will note to beware of extra pricing. A friend was asked if she would like to add protein to her pasta and requested shrimp not realizing that it would add an additional $14-16 to her dish for only two shrimp tails! Obviously she knew it would cost extra to add, but had no idea it was so much. But overall, we really enjoy this restaurant! read more

Delectable food, boutique atmosphere, family-like service!! From the moment we stepped in, we knew we were in for a great experience! The food was so great! The garlic bread and the appetizer olives were perfect starters! Big flavors, but light enough for plenty of room for dinner! I don't usually finish my pasta dishes at a restaurant. But after having the Pistachio Pesto Spaghetti, it took all of my willpower to not lick my plate clean!! My hubby said his Cioppino was the best he's ever had!! The Tiramisu was the cherry on top!! And don't even get me started on the espresso martini!! The atmosphere is small and intimate! Which makes for a wonderful atmosphere and service experience! We were treated like family! We can't wait to come back soon! read more
