Good for date night, family dinner, or even a bigger group. Restrooms were clean too. We started with the Caesar salad, then shared the chicken marsala, angel hair estiva, and a side of meatballs. Everything was really good and felt like classic comfort Italian food. Linda was friendly and took good care of us the whole meal. Easy 5 stars for a solid local Italian spot.

For my 2,500th review I share with you Barolo. Unfortunately, it is also a WhereTF have I been, bc…read moreBarolo has been in biz a long time. The biz associate who invited me said Barolo is where all the financing guys in OC hang out. It is located in a strip mall off Newport & 6th near Old Town Tustin. Barolo is a quaint place w/ indoor & outdoor seating. I believe the owner's name is Giuseppe, who hails fr Genoa. In any case, he was a super nice guy, and let my associate order off the menu. The host's colleague and I had Chilean sea bass in a lemon caper sauce. My biz associate had pasta w/ calamari in white sauce (not pictured). The sea bass was excellent, and it was a big portion. The fish was moist and paired well w/ the sauce. You can get entrees w/ a side of pasta also. I didn't pay, but most of the entrees I saw on the menu were approximately $20. The servers were super friendly and nice. You really feel at home here, similar to a trattoria in Italy. I golf w/ some business colleagues occasionally nearby. I will have to remember Barolo the next time I am in the area for an after golf dinner.

The owner says if you come on the right days, the Anaheim Ducks also have dinner here too! The service here is SO nice. The waiters are all very friendly and continuously talk to you throughout the night. They upsold me and my family on dessert at the end which we enjoyed. I think the food could've come out a little faster, but the restaurant was busy and booked up! The complimentary bread is delicious when it's fresh out the oven. It's very buttery on its own, and there's onions baked into it which give great flavor. The house salad was fresh and crunch, but we agreed the dressing is a little salty. We had mixed reviews about the pastas. Overall they were all very good and the portion size is fantastic and affordable. We agreed some of our plates like the Shrimp Scampi were perfect but others like the clam pasta and the pesto pasta need more flavor. The tiramisu is very good. It's light and not overly sweet. We enjoyed the tartness of the fruit. The macchiatos are a nice way to end the meal.

I highly recommend the main courses and appetizers. Everything was hot and fresh and delicious and the flavors were amazing. The sole was perfectly tender and the citrusy flavor was amazing with the capers. The pizza was also great. The crust tasted home made and was baked to perfection. I would skip over dessert next time. The custard in my caramel brûlée was grainy. The chocolate mouse cake slice was ok, and the vanilla ice cream was sugary. We will definitely be returning for the pizza and mains!

A potential customer rang the bell to attract attention, no one appeared, and she left. Liked the food: fettuccine ai funghi porcini, seven lobster ravioli, and panine or sandwich with meatballs and fries! The lobster was finely ground but might have had more flavor if it was coarse ground. Host seemed upset that we had no reservations, even though there were several unreserved tables. The waiters were friendly. Our breadbasket was not refilled. Plates were cleared quickly. We were not asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu. So, we did not ask for the dessert menu and left.

They offer brunch on weekends. We got the Braised Short Rib Hash and the Italian Benedict. The Braised Short Rib Hash has eggs, short rib, breakfast potatoes, and toasted focaccia. The Italian Benedict was unique in that it has San Daniele prosciutto and parmesan hollandaise, on toasted focaccia. Both were tasty, and I would get them again! They also offer an All Day Menu available daily. We got the Cacrciofi Blossoms which are crispy artichokes. It's served with a sriracha aioli. I really enjoyed these! They're battered and fried giving them a nice crunch on the outside, and the artichokes inside are soft and tender. We also got the Rigatoni Carbonara, and it was delicious! It has pancetta, tossed egg yolks, and pecorino with a touch of cream. Highly recommend this dish! Service was great. Everyone was welcoming and attentive.

We had to go to the store anyways so we decided to go out and come back. The timing was about perfect and they sat us when we returned. Really welcoming environment - huge shout out to Jeremy who was our main server. He was warm and inviting, and honestly made the meal that much better. We let him know it was our first times and they ended up bringing out free cheese ravioli and pink sauce for us to try - this only solidified our picks but we were all so appreciative of the extra mile the staff went. It's not a huge restaurant, only about 10 tables that seat mainly 2-4 people. - FOOD - Meat/Spinach Ravioli: So happy they let us know we could mix and match the ravioli! I preferred the Meat Ravioli but was happy to have been able to try the Spinach as well. The marinara sauce that's served under the Ravioli is perfectly tart. Sausage and Chicken Capri: We swapped out the spaghetti for rigatoni to really soak up that pink sauce! Great option if you want a delicious sauce with some protein already included! They even gave us complimentary cookies at the end, and they noted that it usually satisfies the sweet tooth for customers - it did for us! - OVERALL - Great vibes, great food, great service!

The tortellini was equally as delicious as the lasagna flavor wise but in my preference, it really needed a lot more alfredo sauce, as it was pretty dry.
