Wings
Raquel H.

Over all food was ok. I did get it delivered so I'm not sure if it is best when you eat it there. The pizza was good, but the dough was a little undercooked. The wings had great flavor but I asked for them to be extra crispy and they were not. Overall it was good and I would probably come back to try them at the location instead of delivery

Overall, my family likes the food here but there is room for improvement. When we arrived we were concerned that it was closed because no one was there. Everyone who came in picked up their food then left so this place is known for pickup and delivery and not sit down dining. Clean restaurant and bathroom. pizza - good but dough was a bit tough and dense. pricey for the size. spaghetti- slightly too tangy but edible. consider adding basil or garlic or onions. free cheesy bread- hard and stale (sprinkle water and reheat to soften the bread.) service - friendly and attentive vegetarian - not a lot of healthy options but there was pizza and fried eggplant and spaghetti. fried breaded eggplant got soggy after awhile and didn't have much flavor. Please ask if people want cheese on top or not in case some people don't want cheese. The menu didn't specify the list of ingredients so people with allergies will need to be aware of this.

Amazing food! The customer service is exceptional and they have the Best penne à la vodka I've had anywhere. It was so good everyone kept picking off of my plate

Ambience is comfy. We've been here 3x now since we've found it, it's a staple, we've came here during closing before 10pm when we're craving pasta, always comes with a garlic bread and we ordered for pick up only through call/doordash when they have a deal, though I'd recommend calling in, haven't dined in the place yet but looking forward to when we'll be around the area during day time. It's all indoor dining and heard they might get their alcohol license. Caesar is nice and accommodating and the other workers too. 10/10 for the food, the pics don't give it justice since it's been 4 hours since we got the food and just about to have it although the flavor never disappoints. Would recommend this place

That's the place so you don't miss it!

I am an Italian food junky. So WOW! Found this GEM in an industrial park. This is where the working folk eat and ohhh my! Beautifully fresh and colorful lunch salad, fantastic spaghetti portions that had gorgeous meat sauces. Extremely friendly and helpful staff with superb customer service. Table kept fully supplied and cleaned throughout the experience. 10 STARS!

Fettuccine Alfredo

No flavor and ridiculously watered down. really disappointing to be excited to try a new place and be let down.

This place is open on weekends in an industrial complex. It must be good, how else would they stay in business?!?!? On Sunday, there is parking everywhere. No alcohol is served here. When ordering, we asked what was good and the woman said, with conviction, 'Everything'. We ordered the Angel a La Checa (with chicken added) and Chicken Parmesan. Bread comes with the meal. Both are very good and excellent for the price. We used our Entertainment Book which had a buy one, get one coupon. With the Entertainment Book and Yelp, you can find hidden treasures and this is one of them.

Chicken Carbonara
Daniella P.

A hidden gem nestled in a business plaza in Irvine. My friend introduced the place to me and it might be a new favorite spot. We went around 5pm and there wasn't a lot of people in there because they mostly do to-go orders. The owner helped us out and was very on top of it. He gave us our waters and bread right as we sat down. I ordered the Chicken Carbonara and it genuinely hit the spot. The portion was big, at a great price. Not to mention that it tasted amazing and the sauce was super creamy. Will definitely come back again!

Pesto Rigatoni
Trevor T.

Small restaurant located in the business district. Staff is nice, food tastes good, and portions are also good for the price.

They will let you make a change if you're a vegetarian and need something.. not on the meaty menu and it doesn't seem to diminish any taste nor flare! The pizzas are great, pastas are yum and they give you complimentary, refillable focaccia with olive tapenade!! Talk about paving a way into my heart through my arteries and taste buds. I'm looking forward to returning and sampling everything vegetarian at least 5 times before deciding what's really my favorite and stands out. Other than the friendly yet not too hovering type of staff!!

Weekday 7pm reservation for a birthday…read more The hostess gave us an option of indoor or outdoor seating upon check in, which was nice since it didn't ask on open table. Server was quick to come by and get our drink order and tell us the specials. Bread is complimentary but came out cold. Food was ok. Nothing wrong with it really but not amazing either. I tried all 3 things ordered. The caccio e peppe spaghetti was very al dente so it made it hard (literally) to enjoy the sauce, I wouldn't have been able to eat it if it was my dish. The tagliatelle bolognese was the best in my opinion; the pasta was cooked perfectly and the meat in the bolognese was tender and flavorful. I did find it to be extremely salty and greasy though and I usually like salt. The pizza sauce was good and we upgraded to the mozzarella di bufala, no complaints from my husband even though it looked like mainly sauce and came out kind of sloppy. The outside is pretty, open and airy. Got a birthday dessert after asking the server, even though it was noted on the reservation. Overall, our experience was pretty average.

My first visit years ago was a major disappointment, but a return visit for a someone's birthday…read moreconvinced me to give Angelina's another chance. Ever since then, we've come back repeatedly because the food has been consistently good, and it's become one of our regular spots whenever we're craving Neapolitan pizza. And the Burrata e Tartufo is still the biggest reason we keep coming back. The combination of creamy burrata, truffle, and a well-executed Neapolitan crust never disappoints. During our latest visit, we also ordered the Margherita, which was simple and well done. We also started with the usual focaccia and meatballs. The meatballs continue to be one of the highlights of the menu. For pasta, the Capellini alla Checca was fine but nothing particularly memorable. The Rigatoni alla Genovese con Manzo was the pleasant surprise of the night. It didn't look especially appetizing, but it ended up being rich, comforting, and full of flavor. We also ordered a few cocktails, and while I can't remember exactly what they were, they were well made and complemented the meal nicely. The atmosphere is lively without feeling overly formal, making it a great spot for either a casual dinner or date night. The main thing keeping this at four stars is the service. It's been consistently slow every time we've gone. Thankfully, we haven't had a repeat of our first visit years ago, when our food had clearly been sitting a while before it made it to the table. If they can tighten up the service, I'd have no problem bumping this up to five stars.

I ended up getting the burger option with truffle fries on the menu. The burger was delicious. The cheese was exquisite. I opted for Medium well. The ketchup tasted like it was made in house. Definitely scooped some home for the to-go fries. The dessert drink was a nice night cap and truly felt like drinking a dessert. Beware it can keep you up at night. The Espressor Martini has two options. You can have the regular one with Espresso that's a little old and the second is freshly made Espresso which is more expensive. Sadly the Espresso Martini does not come with any coffee beans. The hostess and server knew we were here to celebrate a birthday. Our server sang happy birthday with us which was cute. She also came over to our table frequently so we were never desperate to get attention and were well taken care of. Highly recommend the Tiramisu dessert. It was enough to split with a table of 4 while attempting being conscious of our a1c.

I've ordered delivery and pick up, and both times the food has been ready within 20 minutes and been PIPING hot when I get it. The quality is just as good as the sit down restaurant in Culver City.

Their handmade…read morepastas are delicious, and we were excited to try their location on the border of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. The extraordinary thing about the Pasta Sisters is that they offer house made pastas, which guarantees a higher price point, but offers unparalleled texture. The spaghetti has a "bite" that you get from a true "al dente" pasta. Their cheese tortellini were incredibly rich and cheesy, but a touch salty. The drawback of this location is that it's a ghost kitchen. You order it online and the order will be ready for you when you come in to pick it up. The location does not have seating, and you eat it at your own convenience. If you live/work locally, then this can be definitely worth checking out. Because I live out of town, I have to enjoy it either in my car, after a long drive home, or at my wife's office; however, I want to enjoy these $20 pastas in a restaurant, with wine and good company. A ghost kitchen is very different than a restaurant experience. I hope they do choose to bring their restaurant to the OC one day.

From the friendly, attentive service to the aesthetic interior to the creative food taste profiles and presentation, everything is chef's kiss! A few of my favorite dishes include: - Beef carpaccio - a must try that melts in your mouth! I didn't expect to love the taste of apple and raw beef together, but somehow this works. I add tiny apple slices to sandwiches now lol - Spicy miso carbonara - Savory and creamy. I have a low spice tolerance but this was not that spicy for me - Truffle funghi pizza - great for lovers of truffle, mushroom, and arugula - Truffle cheese bread - also a melt in your mouth sensation. 10/10 cheese pull I also tried the summer menu and I loved the mixed beet salad (refreshing) and crab roe spaghetti.
