    We love the balloon guy!!! (I think it was Carlos) he was the best yet. Keep him for sure!

    We come here every year for our annual family beach week vacation (63rd annual this year!) and this was one of the best yet!! Our server Tori was AMAZING! There was a big banquet at the other side of the restaurant and we still got great service. She was very attentive and took care of our specific requests with ease. She even took a group picture of us at the end of our meal. Tori was the best! Give her a raise

    Manager special.. ! Great combo!

    Always great food and great service, our server, Sophie was very friendly and attentive. This restaurant not only has great food but the cocktail prices are the most reasonable in this area. For the price of one drink at other locations. You can have two at OSF.

    After talking with Sydney

    Andy and Sydney are an absolute pleasure to be in the company of. Sydney served with a smile and a positive aura. Shoutout old spaghetti factory.

    What is the parking situation for lunch on a summer weekend?

    They have valet parking there. So it's really easy. I've never had a problem.

    Any dairy free dinner options?

    Does your bar area offer happy hour?

    Do they have a/c?

    Yes!

    Are reservations needed or recommend for a Friday evening?

    Honestly, I would call to see if reservations are needed. What we do is call about an hour ahead of time and tell them we are thinking of an 8om show up time for example for 2…

Most recently we came to celebrate my mom's birthday. We were a party of six with a baby. Everyone loved their meals. I had the wild boar pasta and it was out of this world! My husband had the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. We sat outside under the olive trees which was beautiful. The restaurant was busy with lots of large parties and an engagement party. Our server Miguel was outstanding and communicative, sharing that we should place our orders early since the kitchen is backed up. He was extremely professional and patient with our large group. Also, the parking is incredible. Parking on the peninsula has always been horrible, it was so refreshing to have parking so close to the restaurant that was free! I can't wait to go back!

The calamari was tender and the breading light and crispy. The porchettina was delicious. The pork was well seasoned and the crunchy skin provided a delightful texture change. The relish topping really balanced the richness of the pork with its tangy and sweet flavor. I ordered the norcia for my entree and it was also well done. The pasta was al dente which is critical for any pasta dish. The sauce was well seasoned, rich, and creamy. Overall, the food was delicious and the service was attentive and knowledgeable.

We were never offered bread, and no one asked if I wanted another glass of wine, so I ended up eating my entire meal without anything to drink. My partner's beer was also flat. We ordered a super simple pomodoro and the sauce tasted like spaghetti-oh's, although, the pasta was cooked well. I do want to give credit to our server, Camryn. She was lovely, very apologetic, and clearly doing the best she could under the circumstances. She explained that they were very short-staffed tonight. The hostess was also incredibly sweet and welcoming. I completely understand that staffing issues happen, and I don't blame Camryn at all, but waiting an hour for cold food and having drinks and basic service overlooked made for a pretty disappointing dinner. Hopefully tonight was just an off night because the staff we interacted with were genuinely lovely. The patio was nice, and they allow dogs outside. Unfortunately, we're stopping for food on the way home.

From the beautiful welcome we received from the hostess to the food, wine, atmosphere, and service, everything was perfect. We decided to sit outside because I had my dog with me, and I didn't realize that happy hour was only available at the bar. Of course, that completely made sense. But when I explained the situation to our waitress, Halle, she kindly spoke with Luke, the Assistant General Manager/Sommelier, and he generously made an exception and allowed us to enjoy happy hour at our table because we had our dog with us. That small gesture meant so much. Not every restaurant would go out of its way to do something like that. I made sure to personally thank Luke for his kindness, and he even came by later to check on us and make sure everything was going well. That says a lot. And Halle was wonderful throughout the evening--so kind, attentive, and professional. And one more little detail that made me smile: thank you for bringing back the wish in the women's restroom! It's such a small, special touch, but I had missed it the last time we were there, so seeing it again tonight made me happy. There are so many wonderful places to choose from, especially here in Newport Beach and Corona del Mar, and I truly appreciate when a restaurant stands out not only for its food, but for its professionalism, kindness, and genuine hospitality. Cucina Enoteca, you were a WOW tonight. The food, the wine, the atmosphere, and especially the people who took care of us made our celebration even more special. We can't wait to come back. Thank you for a beautiful evening! Cheers!

Service was mediocre, with a bunch of untrained high school/college age student servers who don't know how to smile, make someone feel welcome, or even thank them for coming when they drop off the bill. Restaurant iself is a nice cozy corner spot in downtown Newport, which recreates the Italian vibe well with beautiful pictures of Italian coastline. However, that's where the authenticity stops. My wife's salmon was dry, and had a really bad smell, as though it were frozen for a long time then cooked. My fettucine alfredo had no flavor, I think it had no butter, and really no taste. It's a very hard dish to get wrong, yet somehow they did. No herbs, no seasoning, nothing. Just a completely tasteless, flavorless heap of cream with undercooked pasta. Wine was also super cheap and gave me a headache immediately. The distinct vibe I get is this is a place that might have been good at one point, but has been forced to cut costs across the board, particularly in the cooking, serving and managing departments.
