Reviews Foretti's

An Intimate setting, with a great menu, Italian music playing softly in the background. Our reservation was 6 pm on Wednesday and by 6:45 the place was full. That speaks to how genuinely good the food is. 😋 Alyssa was our excellent server. We'll be back.

Definitely will be back. I can’t say that about a lot of restaurants in Orange County. I try new places weekly and most are one and done. This is a place we will come back to again. We cleaned our plates! The food was amazing! The service was amazing. Marco our server was the best! He was always there when we needed him at the right time and never interrupting you with a mouth full of food and bringing drinks with eye contact and hand signals from across the room when he was serving others. The guy is a pro!

Culinary dream!!! If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine… this is your place!!! A hidden gem although right on the main strip - just a wonderful overall experience! The service was just as delectable as the food! It’s as if our server knew us better than we knew ourselves! Every entree suggestion she made was perfection and made our experience a luxurious one! The food… superb! Every spoonful left you eager to take the next bite and the delicateness of their presentation was not missed. Belleza!! When you’re there… You’re in Italia! You could see and smell the aromatics from the coal stone oven with the hustle of staff eager to serve their tables! The feeling is reminiscent of intimate romance with a hint of family dinner. Newport Beach’s gem for sure!!

After a beach day called ahead and ordered 3 pizzas. Owner stated 20 mins and by the time we got there we just had to wait a few minutes. This pizza is totally worth the price. Dough is soft and perfectly cooked. Toppings are amazing! We got margarita, pepperoni, and wild mushroom. 3 adults and 3 kids later… everyone was happy and full. 12 inch pizzas fyi. Didn’t eat there but heard people needed reservations.

Absolutely fabulous dining experience! My boyfriend and I stumbled across this restaurant and decided to give it a try... We were blown away. For starters, the atmosphere was delightful. Although it was quite busy there was an overwhelming sense of relaxation in the air. The chairs were comfortable and the space was well lit and well decorated. The food was delicious, well priced, and came out lightening fast. We got the burrata, pink bow tie pasta (HIGHLY recommend this for a refreshing summer pasta dish), and a margarita pizza. Everything was great. One of the best parts of it all, however, was our server!! I believe her name was Jade. Everything about her service was perfect from start to finish. She was attentive without being overbearing. She was both professional and laid back (extra impressive considering how busy she was!). Me and my dining partner were incredibly grateful to have her as our waitress for the night!

Very good Italian food. Reservation recommended. This is an intimate restaurant both indoor and outdoor covered patio seating. Many excellent dishes and professional servers. Forettis is certified to make Napoleon pizza and is the only restaurant in Newport certified. Extensive wine list and full bar.

Foretti's restaurant in Laguna Beach is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. From the moment I stepped into this charming eatery, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and elegance. The ambiance at Foretti's is a perfect blend of coastal charm and sophistication. With its breathtaking ocean views and tasteful decor, it's the ideal setting for a memorable dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply savoring a delightful meal, this restaurant sets the stage beautifully. Now, onto the food. Every dish that graced our table was a revelation of flavor and artistry. I started with the seafood platter, which featured the freshest oysters and succulent shrimp. It was a delightful introduction to what was to come. For the main course, I opted for the grilled sea bass, and it was a true masterpiece. The fish was cooked to perfection, flaky and moist, with a delicate balance of herbs and seasonings that danced on my palate. Foretti's wine selection is extensive and thoughtfully curated, and their sommelier's recommendations were impeccable. The wine paired perfectly with our meal, enhancing the overall experience. What truly made this evening exceptional was the impeccable service. The staff at Foretti's is not just attentive; they are genuinely passionate about ensuring your dining experience is unforgettable. From their knowledge of the menu to their seamless execution of service, they elevated our evening to a new level of excellence. Dessert was the perfect finale to an incredible meal. The tiramisu was a luscious, indulgent treat that left me craving more. In summary, Foretti's in Laguna Beach is a culinary gem that deserves every bit of praise. It's a place where exceptional food, breathtaking views, and top-notch service come together to create a dining experience like no other. I can't wait to return to Foretti's and savor their culinary creations once again. Highly recommended!

Authentic Italian at its finest! So happy we stumbled upon Pirozzi’s! Everything on the menu is delicious. Can’t go wrong here! Gotta try their meatballs!

As an Italian family, we enjoy the rich, portion appropriate food. Our group is a min number of 10 from 75-6 years old, we are treated like family. It is a yearly tradition over the 4th of July. Your staff is and has always gone above and beyond our at times crazy requests. Grazie sincero dalla famiglia Recupido alla famiglia Foretti.
