A great little local spot in the old town Tustin area. If you love Italian food you must drop in for dinner. My wife had been wanting to try this place for sometime and we finally went on a Friday night, it is small so make a reservation. Between us we ordered 3 plates of pasta. You can get a full size and half size. We got two full size and a half size so we could share a little bit of everything. My advice order the full size because who doesn't love left over pasta. In order by our favorite dish... Carbonara - rich and creamy, one of the best I have had (my wife didn't like it as much as me) Ragu fettuccine - my wife loved this plate Gambrei pappardelle - this was so so but the shrimp was good We also ordered the house bread which was worth it. There are so many different pasta dishes that we plan to comeback read more

I came to Storico for an early Mother's day lunch. It was around 12:30 on Saturday. I called the day before to ask if I could get a reservation but the nice gentleman on the phone said they don't do reservations for that time but I should be good to get seated right away with 7 people. He assured me I shouldn't have any issues. I will assume he forgot it was Mother's day weekend lol. When we arrived the hostess told us all of the big tables were full and it would be a 30 minute wait. She also said the kitchen closes down at 1:45 so.... In other words my chances of dining in were slim to none? Or we would not be able to order any food once we are seated?? I really am not sure where she was going with that. My daughter stepped in and asked if there were tables available outside. She said there was but it was probably too small for us, we asked to go see and thought the table was actually perfect for us. So we asked to be seated there. We had plenty of elbow room and the table fit our food perfectly so I am not sure why she thought it was too small. Overall we did not feel like she was taking much initiative to be accomadating on a holiday weekend. The food was so authentic and amazing that I didn't even care. My pesto was so fresh and flavorful, the pasta was cooked perfectly. Everyone in my family ordered something different and everyone loved their dish! Service was friendly but not very attentive. They add a 20% gratuity for parties 6 and up. The restaurant inside and outside is super duper cute and charming. I would definitely come back again as the food was just so good, I would hope to have a better experience with service next time though. I am always very aware and forgiving when going out Mother's day weekend. read more

Storico Spaghetteria truly felt like a little slice of Italy. Every pasta we tried was delicious, authentic tasting, and the portions were HUGE. Their focaccia was also so good. The restaurant itself is super cute and cozy inside. The food and atmosphere definitely outshined the service. Will absolutely be back for another pasta night tho!! What we tried: PANE della CASA Daily special: GNOCCHI IN ARRABIATA RAGU di CARNE RAGU BIANCO PESTO CARBONARA GAMBERI E PROSCIUTTO read more

The vodka penne is amazing and truly always a win here! It's rich, flavorful, and one of those dishes I'd order again without even thinking twice! We also finally tried the fried calamari because every time we come to this chain I see people ordering it, and now I totally get why. It was super fresh, perfectly crispy, and really delicious. Everything we've had here has been consistently great, which is why I keep coming back! Definitely one of those places where you know you're going to eat well every time! read more

Storico offers some of the best pasta dishes around, and I can confidently say every dish I've tried has been delicious. The freshly made pasta adds an extra level of flavor and texture that really elevates each dish. The service is excellent, and the atmosphere is relaxed, warm, and welcoming. Their drinks are also fantastic and pair perfectly with the meal. A great spot for a consistently enjoyable dining experience. read more

This Italian place is fantastic! The pasta is made from scratch. You can taste every single flavor. We also got the salmon dish, which was delicious. We tried the Barada and tomato appetizer. The wines provided. We're also delicious. This is a hidden gem. All of the food is outstanding and their wine pairings are also great. The servers were very attentive and were great with recommendations. The restaurant was very busy, but felt like you were in the back of a kitchen from Italy. read more

I ordered a full bowl of the Salsiccia pasta. Plenty of free parking behind l. The pasta was really well done. Perfectly cooked and coated in a rich, flavorful sauce with the sausage bringing a nice savory depth to the whole dish. It felt hearty without being too heavy, and every bite was consistent. The place has a clean, modern feel but still feels comfortable enough to sit and enjoy your meal. Staff was friendly and service was quick and smooth from start to finish. Simple order, but everything was done right. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a solid pasta. read more

Storico Spaghetteria - Tuscan Near Me - Tustin, California

Storico Spaghetteria is a quaint Italian cafe in Old Towne Tustin (which is unfortunately located adjacent to street construction along El Camino Real). The restaurant is cute and great for a more casual dining experience, perfect for a family gatherings. I found Arancini a bit dry and bland, which was disappointing as Arancini is typically one of my favorite Italian appetizers. The Cacio E Pepe was fine, the highlight of the meal was the Tiramisu. read more

Full marks for ambience and service. I love that you can enjoy a meal, have a coffee afterward, or even go wine-tasting--all on one property! However, I continue to be a little underwhelmed by American-Italian cuisine. While the food looked appetizing, the flavors were a bit too heavy for my taste. The two standouts I truly enjoyed were the loaded bruschetta and the delicious affogato! read more

The incredible quality and authenticity of the Italian food here at Storico Spaghetteria, together with the relative affordability of such foods, makes this restaurant my top pick for everyday Italian fare outings. The pane della casa ( homemade focaccia with olive oil & balsamic vinegar ) was extremely delicious, perfectly salted, and the olive oil with balsamic vinegar tasted outstanding. There were four pieces of focaccia that came for just $3 and I had to take a piece home because it was a lot! The pesto pasta in the half size was $17, and even this was so much that I had to take some home. However, the quality of the pesto and the fusilli pasta noodles were second to none here in OC, and I am now so happy to have found a real Italian restaurant that serves real Italian food for reasonable prices - I worried about having to choose between unhealthy Alfredo and cheese wheel cheaper pastas versus expensive full-scale dining experiences, neither which made sense to me, until I found Storico Spaghetteria, the answer to my Italian food needs. The staff at the Spaghetteria are super dedicated, professional, attentive, and courteous, and I love the kind of upscale yet friendly Old Town Tustin atmosphere here. This actually differs sharply from my experience at the Storico Cafe next door, which is for my next review. I love Storico Spaghetteria and I know my mom will love this place too!! read more

Storico continues to impress! Great vibe, great staff, and great food. Our three pastas tonight were packed with flavor, high quality ingredients, and so delicious! The pesto was flavorful but not overwhelming, the ragú was so rich and the pappardelle were firm enough to scoop it up, and the risotto was creamy even without cream. The salad was also a great, light appetizer. I will definitely be back! read more

Came here with my boyfriend on a lunch date and honestly, it was such a great experience. I have a dairy allergy, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive when it came to modifying my order. I got the arrabiata with no cheese and added mushrooms because I love them, and it was absolutely impeccable. So much flavor, perfectly balanced heat, and honestly didn't need cheese at all. The quality of the pasta and sauce really stood on its own. The interior was really charming too, which made the whole experience even better. It's always a relief finding a place that takes allergies seriously and still delivers amazing food. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Storico was decent overall. We ordered quite a bit, and the pasta was very good definitely the highlight of the meal. The food itself was flavorful and well prepared. The service, however, was just okay. There was some miscommunication, as I wasn't informed that changing the pasta would come with an extra charge, and I also wasn't told that the bread they offered would be an additional cost. The servers were present to clear plates and remove food, but there wasn't much check-in beyond that. I completely understand that working in the food industry can be overwhelming, but attentive service really makes a big difference in the overall experience. The restaurant itself is very nice inside, but if you're dining as a party of two and plan on ordering multiple dishes, I'd recommend asking for a booth or a larger table. While the staff did help clear plates between courses, it sometimes felt rushed almost like we needed to finish one dish quickly just to make room for the next. We honestly ran out of table space with everything we ordered. Overall, excellent pasta and a beautiful space, with room for improvement in service and communication. read more

Came here for a work outing and ordered the Ragu fettucine, which includes San Marzano Tomatoes, Pork, Beef, Veal, Garlic & Onion. The fettucine was authentic and tasted made in-house. The dish was creamy from the marzano sauce and meaty from the pork and beef. Overall, it was a good meal and service was good. Would've been great if they provided complimentary bread though. Parking is in a small lot, but there's street parking available also. read more

Located on the cute strip of old town Tustin. Wandered in at 9:15 on a Friday because I was waiting for a seat at Hondaya and I almost had a rethink of my dinner plans. This place is cute and hip yet casual. We got a bottle of decent pinot grigio for just $30 and enjoyed it at the bar. Menu looks good and I'll have to try it sometime, but the wine alone makes it a hangout place I'll return to soon enough. read more

MUST TRYYY IF YOU LOVE PASTA. Cute spot in old town Tustin. They have a parking lot right next door in case you miss it. We sat outside for dinner on a weekday and were sat immediately. Staff is super nice and kept checking on us. A lot of their pasta is handmade and it was so good. I got the papardelle with shrimp and it was perfectly cooked pasta. I like more al dente and it was perfectly cooked! They have huge portions too and offer full or half portion. Picture is size of full! We also like that they offer the wine flight but they pick the flavors for you because we hate picking. They all were awesome snd tasted great with pasta. My fave was the Prosciutto with bread and a buttery cheesy sauce! I'm still thinking about it today. read more

I have been here two times and pasta is fresh and authentic! Storico is a cute restaurant in downtown Tustin. It gets super packed during peak time so highly recommend coming early to avoid the rush. There is inside and outside seating. They have various selection of pasta, apps, drinks and mains. For apps we recommend the calamari! Very crispy and not overly greasy. For the pasta they do half portions which is good for me. My favorite is the gamberi proscuitto! The sauce is light, creamy, and wide ribbon pasta is bomb! I've tried the capperi e olive, great if you like olives. The cacio e Pepe is a little bit too creamy. My fiancés Ragu pasta was meaty and delicious. If you are going to get dessert definitely get the gelato, so creamy and refreshing, good portion as well. A bit pricy but worth the price, would highly recommend stopping by here for a pasta craving. read more

Been wanting to go here for a while, glad I finally went! Came here on a Sunday evening for a nice dinner. The weather was perfect so we decided to sit on the patio. Got to enjoy a surprise view of a Space X launch too! The dining room is nice, if not a bit loud but nothing out of the ordinary. The patio is very quaint, I highly recommend sitting here if the weather permits. Service was a tad bit slow but the place was packed so I won't fault them for this. Took a while for our server to first come out and to get our drinks once ordered. The food came out quickly though and at a good temperature. We weren't starving so we started with the antipasto plate, basically a nice charcuterie board. It had pepperoni, salami, and prosciutto for the meats; brie, pepper jack, and a delicious soft crumbly cheese. The board also included olives, artichoke hearts, and perfectly toasted ciabatta bread. For our entree we split the grilled meats plate which was a perfect way to try all their specialty meats. It included 2 Italian sausages, 2 lamb chops, a filet mignon, and a flattened grilled chicken breast. It was all cooked perfectly and tasted great. No dipping sauces or anything to take away from the flavor of the meats. We enjoyed it very much. A bit of arugula and a lemon wedge on the side made a great pairing. We both got the wine sampler which comes with four 2oz pours of their choosing, usually 2 whites and 2 reds. All were very tasty and went perfectly with the meal. We'll definitely be back, thanks Storico! read more

Really enjoyed the Cacio e pepe pasta here! The noodles were especially delicious -- loved how they're made fresh. Tried the Pane della Casa (Focaccia bread with olive oil) too and was pleased with it, plus it was only $3. We also got the Ragu di Carne, but wasn't really a big fan. The service here was great too. Our waitress always checked up on us and made sure we had everything we need. She was also very nice when giving us recommendations when we had questions/were indecisive on what to order. As for how busy it gets, we went here on a Saturday evening and waited about 15-20 minutes. It wasn't bad though since the area was nice to walk around and explore. The parking lot also looks small, but it was easy to get a spot. read more

Stopped by on a weekend around 11 AM and was seated almost right away with minimal wait. The vibe is casual and welcoming, and the servers were super friendly and helpful. They also offered some great recommendations for both food and drinks. 1. Vongole (Linguine) with White Sauce - Creamy yet light, and the clams were incredibly fresh. This is for the seafood lovers- you can definitely taste the quality. 2. Paccheri alla Panna - Rich and creamy white sauce loaded with ham, mushrooms, and onions. The paccheri pasta shape is unique so I recommend giving it a try! 3. Gamberi e Prosciutto - A lighter red sauce with fresh shrimp. The pasta shape was also unique and a great contrast and balance to the creamier dishes we ordered. Overall, a great experience. Parking can be a bit challenging during peak lunch hours, but there is a shared lot nearby. Prices felt fair for the quality and portion sizes, and the pasta definitely tastes authentic! read more

While looking for more unique eats in the area, this was recommended to us and we generally don't go out to eat Italian food that much and seeing that there's a good amount of pasta that sounds delicious and that we've never tried before, this was the play. It was also within walking distance from an event we were attending so everything worked out! Loved that there's some historical pieces outside and inside the restaurant too. The towing sign is with a historical vehicle and there's a tractor (?) inside and some farm vehicle outside too. The restaurant has table seating and bar seating, it's not super big, so there may be a wait depending on when you go and how big the parties are in front of you. We were lucky enough to wait long since our party was smaller. The restaurant is attached to their cafe as well. Non-alcoholic drinks and desserts that are available at the restaurant are also available at the cafe as well, so if you can't make up your mind during your dining session, you can just walk right next door and order there. They also have daily specials for entrees, appetizers, desserts, and spirits, just take a look at the chalkboard that they have up. Our group got the: 1) Peach Italian Soda: -Very bubbly and had a light peach taste. Not bad. -Wouldn't mind trying their other flavors. 2) Sweet cream Maple Nut Latte: -Strong coffee taste to it that ends with the sweet taste of maple nut. -It's a very "European" way of doing coffee if that makes sense. -You'll definitely stay up if you down the entire thing. 3) Mango Menta: This is a green tea with mango and mint. -Refreshing with real sprigs of mint in it. -The minty taste with the sweetness of mango went really well together. 4) Pane della Casa: -This is their house focaccia bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. -Really wish this was something offered on the house instead of for purchase but it was relatively cheap for $3. Only issue was that the bread was QUITE hard. Not sure if it's supposed to be this way or because we went right at the end of the day. -I'd skip this. 5) Paccheri alla Panna: -This is paccheri pasta in a light cream sauce with peas, Italian cotto ham, onions, parmigianno, and mushrooms. -We opted to try more of the unique pastas that we don't usually see at other restaurants and this was one of our choices. -Nice chewy texture to the pasta and the little burst of flavor from the peas added to the yummy creaminess of the sauce. The ham also added a nice saltiness that brought everything beautifully together. 6) Sacchetti ai Funghi Porcini: -This is fresh pasta stuffed with porcini mushrooms, garlic, Swiss, and Fontina cheese. -Favorite of the night. Can never go wrong with a stuffed pasta. -Loved the seasoning and flavoring of the sauce and the texture of the mushroom filling. At first I was a bit wary of splitting 2 pasta dishes with 4 adults, but was convinced to order the full serving and I'm glad I did because the full serving is about half of what you'd normally see at an American restaurant (lol at my fat ass), so ordering half would have definitely left us hungry. Overall pretty good place. read more

this is such a gem located in old town tustin!! i've had take out here once but this was the first time i sat down to eat with some friends. the pasta both times has been cooked to perfection, with the sauce and flavors being incredible every time. i will say the caccio e pepe was a little dry after a bit, but i believe that's more to do with what the recipe calls than the kitchen's error. the service was quick and the servers were attentive in ensuring everything was good and if we needed anything else. i would absolutely come back for any pasta cravings! read more

We've come here before and felt that the pasta was delicious, and decided to come back for dinner. For some reason, the service at dinner was astonishingly bad. We had a hard time flagging a server to ask for water or order food, and eventually lucked out flagging down a server who stated he was not our server but thankfully took our order. After our food came, we felt bag flagging him down again for a spoon but genuinely he was the only one around. It was not until 20 minutes after that, now 35+ minutes into being seated and halfway through eating our entrees, that our server finally came by for the first time. It was not for lack of trying - we had again been trying to flag down just anyone, and finally begged a busboy to grab our server, and that's the only reason she finally showed up. The ragu was delicious the first time we had it, and this time the noodles were extremely unevenly cooked. Most of them were undercooked, others were overcooked, none were al dente. The paccheri, meanwhile, was perfect - al dente, delicious, really outstanding. Don't waste your time or calories on the house focaccia. It was not good - no herbs, dense and not fluffy, and toasted to high heavens. read more

I was disappointed with this location, which is unfortunate because I really wanted to love it. Old town Tustin is such a great place to dine. Unfortunately, the bad service stole the show, and the cold food wasn't far behind. The seating arrangements are also overly crowded and made it difficult to get in and out. We actually chose this location because there was no wait to be seated and we had somewhere to be after our meal. After being seated promptly, a waitress was nowhere to be found. After 15 minutes, I eventually went to the host to ask if we were going to be helped. Eventually, the waitress came by and apologized for taking so long, but continued to be MIA all evening even after giving constant apologies, "so sorry I took so long, what would you like?" SERVICE (1/5)- Unfortunately, the service here is what ruined the experience. The few times we did see our waitress, she would give a quick apology and would do the same thing. The place was not even very busy. She brought cold food out, did not explain the salad dressing. Never even attempted to make things right. Salad (2/5)- We ordered a salad to share with Italian salad dressing, but it seemed that we just got a cup of oil. Eventually after speaking to a server, we find there is a little bit of seasoning at the bottom and we need to stir it up... ummm? Would have been nice if our server told us that, since I typically don't put the whole dressing on and just use a little, which turned out to be pure oil without mixing. The salad was also not very fresh at all. Cacio e Pepe (2/5)- dish came out cold, so I sent it back. This probably says more about the service than the dish unfortunately. The bite I did try has good texture on the pasta, but lacked flavor/salt. Would not order again. Side of sausage (5/5)- this was actually delicious and super flavorful. Large portion. This was intended to add to my cacio e Pepe dish, but ended up being my meal since I had to send my cold dish back. Ragu di carne (5/5)- I am not normally a tomato sauce fan, but this was an amazing dish. The flat noodles were perfect, and the tomato sauce had great flavor and a good amount was put on the pasta (was not dry, was not drenched). Much of the food was flavorful and delicious, but because of the terrible service we will not be back. read more

More like a 4.5 star for me but I'll round up. It's a cozy, fall-perfect spot with a warm, cabin-like interior and plenty of natural light. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger over a good meal. Food: The minestra soup was the star -- hearty, flavorful, and perfect for the season. The pastas were nicely al dente with a great variety of sauces, and the portions were just right. My kids devoured everything. Prices lean on the higher side, but the quality matches it. Just note -- no complimentary bread like you'd get at some other Italian places. Service: Friendly and unhurried, with food coming out at a comfortable pace. The staff was attentive without being pushy. Location & Parking: Easy to find and stress-free -- they have their own parking lot right by the restaurant. Overall: A lovely spot for quality Italian in a relaxed setting. A bit pricier, but worth it for a cozy fall meal that feels thoughtfully made. And they have a long list of desserts to choose from since they literally have their own cafe connected right next door. read more

Made a reservation to celebrate my birthday, and they were able to accommodate our group of 12 people. I got the half portion of the paccheri alla panna ($19) and added salmon for an additional cost. The pasta was quite good, although I would have preferred the dish to have more of the cream sauce. The salmon was pretty tender. For my birthday, they gave me a cup of vanilla ice cream with a candle, so that was a nice touch! read more

Such fresh tasty pasta! The noodles were cooked al dente and had that perfect bite and the sauces were fresh and flavorful. The vodka sauce was rich and the cacio e pepe sauce was salty (not overly), cheesy and nutty. The butter cake was also rich and crumbly, but not overly buttery! This place is a little on the pricier side and I'd recommend paying a little extra for the full portion! They do close their kitchen between lunch and dinner so just keep that in mind when going, and they also get relatively busy on the weekends (on a Sunday at 12:30 we waited around 20 mins). I believe our server's name was Gabe and he was very kind and helpful! read more

This is my third time to Storico and it wasn't my best experience. My pasta was way too salty. Our tiramisu and calamari were very good. I don't know if it was unexpectedly crowded on a Wednesday, but service wasn't great.

I'm so glad we found this hidden gem in Old Town Tustin. We arrived around 4:45, and waited in line till the restaurant opened at 5. By the time we sat the restaurant was already full, so arrive early. They do take reservations but it's for parties of 6 or more. It's a tiny, cute restaurant that has a family feeling! Our server, Alisandro, was awesome. He made sure the kitchen knew about my son's food allergies. He made great suggestions, and even though the restaurant was busy he was attentive. The food was delicious, and you can tell the pasta is homemade. The Cesar salad was really good, they offer full and half portions. We ordered a full salad and it was more than enough for us. For the pasta we ordered half portions that way we can try different things. read more

The pasta here is cooked perfectly al dente. Some of our favorites are the carbonara, pesto, and bolognese. It's a small, popular place, so unless you come right at opening, you can expect a wait on the weekends. Sometimes there's even a line outside the door prior to opening. Love that they have outside, covered seating where you can bring your pup. Only thing that would make this place 5 stars is if they opened at 4 pm rather than 5. read more

Such a cute spot with good vibes! Went here for dinner with some of my closest friends. Our group of 8 split the bruschetta, calamari, chopped salad, and three full-size pasta dishes, and it was plenty of food for all of us. My favorite dish was the bruschetta -- the tomatoes tasted so fresh and flavorful. The calamari and salad were fine as well, but nothing special. We got the ragu di carne, penne alla vodka, and cacio e pepe. Both the ragu and the penne were SO good! The sauces were flavorful and the pasta tasted so fresh. The cacio e pepe would have been good but my noodles were undercooked :( it is truly a fun dish though because they use bucatini which is a tube-shaped pasta! Overall a very pleasant experience. The servers were nice and we got our food in a timely manner. Would recommend for a night out that's not too fancy! read more

This place is a gem! I came here for the first time yesterday and it was surprisingly busy for a Tuesday night. The wait was 15 minutes to get a table outside which wasn't too bad. They have heat lamps in case the weather gets too cold. I really enjoyed the paccheri alla panna and bomba dessert, and our server was very attentive! There's a parking lot right next door which is convenient for customers. Overall, this is my new favorite Italian restaurant in Tustin and I will certainly come back. read more

This gem is possibly my favorite Italian place in all of OC. It's a small family-run establishment that makes their pasta and sauces in house everyday. They give you generous portions, especially if you order full-sized pastas! I have yet to try their nonpasta entrees because their pastas are so good - i especially love their cacio e Pepe and their bolognese and carbonara. For the appetizers, their meatballs and the fried calamari are my favorites. Parking can be a challenge in old town Tustin but they have their own lot with about 20ish spots. Wait times can get pretty high but that's an indication of how good this place is! read more

I wanted to try something new that I haven't reviewed. I'm a long-time diner of Roma up the street and thought I'd try Storico. First the parking lot was small. During peak hours you might have to park on the street. There's a little coffee shop on the right side with several pastries that looked really good. You can dine indoors or outdoors. They even have a bar which I'm pretty sure you can eat there. I ordered the Ragu De Carne which is a Fettuccine noodle with meat sauce. The pasta is made in house and was delicious. They bring you grated Parmesan cheese on the side. It's to bad you don't get rolls or something to soak up the remaining sauce. It's so good you don't want to leave anything behind. The dining room was nice, with big windows so you can see the activity on El Camino Real. The reason for four stars was it took forever to get the check. This is a nice place to bring a date. My lady friend is also a Roma fan, but I may bring her here and see how she likes it. read more
