Reviews for Cucina Alessá in Newport Beach, CA
The best service and amazing food, as usual! We ate outside and enjoyed the wonderful weather!
I have eaten in reasonably good restaurants around the world. I live in Southern California, home of so many good restaurants. I... complement the chef on his elk. It was so tender. But let me tell you that service was excremental. It was utterly the worstservice, not only because the waiter was in attentive, but because the waiter was loud rude and obnoxious. I felt very bad forthe chef and owner. I went up to the podium and asked to speak to the management and they wouldn’t come out. I don’t knowhow to rate this even a one. The customer service that I got was just the worst . And I had brought a guest and they were sohappy to see Laguna Beach, and it made is such an awful experience. Can I possibly rate it lower? Dear God make it so. Read more
Honestly, a big let down. Maybe I'm just spoiled by original Italian restaurants in Italy and all over Europe, but the food... wasn't good and I did not like the ambiente. It was not catastrophic, thus 2 stars, but it would be one of there was a zerostars option. Read more
We picked this restaurant based on on its reviews, and we were not disappointed. Heather took good care of us, and we thoroughly... enjoyed the spaghetti verde and short rib pasta. We'll come here again!! Read more
Foods are great! Good services and their creme brulé is so delicious. Worth to be recommended!
Excellent italian seafood. A very pleasant and courteous place with easy parking access off PCH. Sitting inside available right... now with some social distancing. Reservation preferred I would say given the place seems to be always busy. Service is quick. Read more
Nice little Italian restaurant in Newport beach. The chefs meat and cheese board was pretty good. The mozzarella cheese they... used was amazing. I had to ask where they get it from. Its imported directly from Italy. It was one of the best cheeses I'veever had. This started the dinner off really well. For my meal, I ordered the prosciutto wrapped chicken. It was pretty good,but my wife had the prosciutto stuffed tortellini, that was delicious. It came in a creamy white sauce, it had a really goodflavour. The tortellini's was good. It all worked really well together. The creamy sauce, the prosciutto in the tortellini's. Itwas so delicious I almost ate it all. The food is really good, the ambiance was welcoming and romantic, and the service wasgreat. I would recommend this place for date night or for a nice dinner with friends. Read more
Perfect place for lunch break as midway point of our bike ride along Newport beach. The set lunch menu at $20 was a steal. Food... was superb and service impeccable. Would be happy to go back for dinner to try our other items on dinner menu. Read more
