    Margherita pizza.
    Danna P.

    The food was delicious! We opted for sharing a small (not so small) Caesar and a happy hour Margherita pizza. It was very filling and we were shocked to get out of there spending just over $20 for food. The salad was fantastic with an abundance of large shaved parmesan pieces. The sauce on the pizza was perfect and the crust was light, airy and had a crispy crunch. Service was attentive. We seriously cannot wait to try other items on the menu. Yum!

    Great food and service. We all love our food choices: seafood pasta, lobster ravioli, salmon pasta. Love the seafood pasta. Full of flavor. Not too busy on Friday afternoon.

    Came across Luna Rossa while at the District and thought it might be connected with a restaurant with same name in Las Cruces NM. Turns out they are both independent and not affiliated with each other after all. Regardless, Luna Rossa didn't disappoint and the food was quite tasty. Since we only had the calamari which we rated a 5/5 and the Margherita Pizza on the other hand was good but not great (4/5!) The ambience of the restaurant inside and out was nice and very inviting, imho. Service was top notch and I definitely will be returning the next time I crave Italian food!! Enjoy & Bon Appetit.

    The food was just okay. Ordered the lasagna which was good in taste and my spaghetti was bland with no flavor. They do ask for Parmesan that they sprinkle over the food but it wasn't fresh Parmesan that is grated in front of you. The service was friendly and a little slow to help us. Went when it opened and It took a while before someone helped us get seated. Ambiance was very quiet since we got there when it open. Overall for us it was a one and done place, I do believe for the quality of the food that it was a bit over priced and very small portions.

    We came here for a late lunch and had not made a reservation. However the restaurant was empty and were quickly seated. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and spaghetti. The service was excellent and quick. The food was authentic and delicious. They did mention they get busy and there's a wait in the evenings so I would recommend coming here a lunch time to have their food!

    This is calamari with muscle clams and shrimp

    Fettuccine Al Funghi Porcini (take out)
    Kent R.

    This is absolutely my favorite Italian restaurant in OC. There's a reason I feel confident posting a takeout picture because the food is that good. You walk in and are immediately met with restaurant accolades and the host that greets you is the same one I've seen every time I've ever been here. This place has an unpretentious vibe while still being high end. In addition to consistently great service, the food has always been incredible. The fettuccine porcini al fungi is the dish I dream about when I think of pasta. I have never really thought of dropping a review because this place is my go to next to home but it definitely deserves the praise. Don't ever change Luna Rossa.

    One of my favorite pasta spots in OC! This is the only restaurant that we've found that makes carbonara the traditional way! Smooth, creamy pasta with a subtle egg taste. The pancetta is cooked beautifully and not overcooked. We also had the chefs special which was a form of ravioli with a slow roasted beef. The creamy sauce was not overwhelming and was surprisingly filling. We finished with one of the bomba desserts which is an ice cream ball covered in har chocolate and cut into fours like an apple. This is our new favorite Italian spot and it was fairly priced for the quality of food!

    Gnocchi Al Ragu  Margherita

    After a long awaited visit. We were so disappointed. Not only did the food not meet our expectations (it was bland) but the service was so bad and it wasn't even busy for a Saturday night. I guess I know why now. Our waiter had no personality, rushed the process of ordering, never checked back on our food, never brought refills, didn't bring the coffee I ordered and did t even offer us any dessert. We drove all the way from the SGV to be let down. I honestly would've not tipped him at all, but my hubby is too nice and still tipped. No manager in sight to communicate these issues either. I had the margheritta pizza it was bland My husband had a chicken plate and it had so much sauce, it overpowered all the taste of the food. My son ordered the Gnocchi and it was also bland. The only thing that was ok was the chicken Alfredo. So sad we wasted time and money here.

    Caesar salad

    This restaurant is located at The District right in front of the AMC theater. I went to this restaurant with a friend to try out their OC restaurant week menu. An appetizer, main course, and dessert was $45. We arrived without a reservation but were seated within minutes. During the course of our dinner, no waiter checked on us specifically so we had to wave someone down if we saw them walking around. I did ask if they had a nonalcoholic drink menu and the waiter said they didn't. He did count off some options they had like a blood orange soda but when I opted to get that, I received san pellegrino instead. I got the salad which was fairly good. It was drenched in dressing which I didn't mind and it was very filling. However the main course I got which was the pescatora pasta wasn't very good at all. Some of the clams were missing the clam meat inside and the calamari was very gummy (nearly inedible). I found myself picking around it and just eating the pasta which was bland. The dessert of tiramisu was very sweet. I feel like they added too much mascarpone on top and i wasnt really tasting the spongy breading underneath. The restaurant itself was fairly clean. Not many people dining inside when I was there and the restaurant was completely empty for the majority of our dinner (I believe two ppl came in near the end). It's unfortunate the food wasn't that great overall. Service could be better. I wouldn't recommend this place.

    Food is pretty good. But price has really gone up and doesn't justify their quality anymore. Service is very slow.

Chewy was our pleasant waiter, very friendly and attentive. Fresh cold water when we sat down and a nice short easy menu to peruse and decide from. No frills, no uneasy decisions. Simple greatness is all that's needed. I'm guessing every table gets the Caesar salad, which was a botttomless pile of fresh lettuce, tons of delicately grated smoothe Parmesan cheese, delicate crumbles of breadcrumbs, with an absolutely decadent Caesar dressing - pleasantly spread throughout the whole entire plate of goodness. Next time I will try the fresh loaf of bread sliced thick with a bowl of cherry tomatoes. Whoa that looked great. Every plate that walked by us whispered 'try me' next time!! Saved the salami Calabrese pizza for home directions on the box which provided the most perfect texture for a reheated pizza we've ever had. Delightful! The pizza. The crust.

Their pizza offering have a selection of white and red sauce options. when served hot, crust was good and flavor is as expected. Their bread and butter is exceptional! If you are going to get anything here, make this a priority. Caesar salad is also a great choice. The staff was attentive to our needs since we sat outside when the sun was setting. Had to hold the menu up to block the glare until the round thing settled. But to truly highlight the pizza, it was a bit on the greasy side and taste didn't yield anything of exceptional in terms of flavor or texture. Regardless, do not let my review deter you from trying this establishment as preferences with food varies. I just happen to be exposed to various types and styles of pizza. Within that hierarchy, this is decent by that standard and good for OC. Come try and judge for yourself. It's a fun environment. :)

It's often hard for people to agree on whether one is good, bad, or great. I had several guests come over so I ordered large pepperoni pizza with green bell peppers and onions. We all agreed - It was great, lots of toppings and the right amount of cheese and sauce. Crust was perfect texture. It was ready when promised so I quickly drove it home to a hungry group. There are many pizza places much closer to me, but I had to try this one. I am taking a class at Orange Coast College and one to the cooler classmates (Simeon) told us how great their pizzas are at his location in South Irvine. But I went to the one at Jamboree and Irvine Blvd. It was great there, too. It's in a shopping center with lots of parking and a short walk to Ralph's to pick up some beer and sodas. Anyway, everyone enjoyed the pizza and will return when I am in the area again craving for great pizza. Pizza like this went great with some bottled craft beer.

What I love most about this place is how unique the flavors are. You get all these bold, aromatic curry spices and creative toppings -- but it's still grounded in the comfort of pizza. And honestly, who doesn't like pizza? It's the perfect balance. Adventurous, but not intimidating. Lets talk about the pizza, when done right, is basically a full meal. One slice has carbs (the crust), protein (chicken or other toppings), veggies, and dairy -- it checks all the boxes on the food pyramid. At Curry Pizza, those ingredients are layered in a way that feels both satisfying and surprisingly balanced. In a way, it satisfies your craving and your daily calorie intake in one go. It's indulgent but doesn't feel heavy or regretful afterward.
