Fresh pasta made daily, sauces made to order, family owned for over 20 years, says something! Try the fussili carbonara,
Finnaly had a chance to stop by and try this place. The service was amazing although the food did take a little long to come out but they were pretty slammed with to go orders. Forgot what I ordered but is really tasty and the calamari appetizer was a great start.
Great little Italian restaurant. Having been driving by for years and finally decided to stop in.
You pick the type of pasta you want and then pick the sauce. The pasta is made fresh on site.
I got the gnocchi with porcini mushroom sauce and it was delicious, tons of flavor and garlic.
All the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Will definitely be back.
Family owned OG OC Italian joint. Quaint, delicious, how did we not know about this sooner? Hand made pastas. House dressing is unreal. Come hungry.
I had an invite at Maggiano's Little Italy. My experience was pleasant except I was expecting Little Italy to be more of an Italian Piazza or an experience of a restaurant more than a family diner.
The crepes were a bit edgy I didn't care for them much for the breakfast but I loved the fruits and desserts including the creme brulee.
Next time I'll check out the bar and 🍹🍸 cocktails. It's a good spot if you're going shopping at the mall because the mall has one small Cafe restaurant and a Starbucks.
I would go back for the service the waiters were very pleasant, polite and professional, which is something unique if you live in Los Angeles.
I’ve been going here for a few years. I’m never disappointed. Small little family owned place with great food in my opinion.
I had the lasagna and my friend had the chicken alfredo. The chicken was very delicious and seasoned very well. My lasagna was really good as well. The tiramisu was great. They make it in-house and was both sense and light. If you're in Costa Mesa, stop in for a bite. The service here is very friendly.
This place has great Italian food! Loved the harlic bread and lasagna 😋 👌 Nice waitress. Great cooks. Cute Italian ambience.
My wife and I first time dining here. The food was phenomenal. My wife said it reminds her of her childhood meals which was a first time hearing this from her, so it says alot. The service and staff were awesome. Food prices added up but we enjoyed spending every penny. For quality its always worth it. Everything was fresh, from the seafood platter i got, to my wife's spinach pasta pomodorro. Very lovely experience. We will be back for sure!!!
My husband and I were on our way home and hungry. No plan, just drove past and decided on Italian. Oh my goodness the atmosphere was as if you just ducked into a slice of Italy. The food was excellent. A wonderful surprise. Family owned with the sons of owners cooking and serving. Thank you.
The food was delicious. Authentic Italian flavors. Only issue was the coke I had was flat, no carbonation. The food was great though.
Is Garduno's not the best little Italian restaurant in Orange County? Calamari, vegetable lasagna, gamberi al diavolo. Delectable salads, beer/wine, and dessert. Go during off hours, as this place gets busy and it's not that big.
Amazing! We stopped by on our trip to the beach, kids and parents all loved it. We need more fabulous family owned places like this. Pastas all hand made daily and the sauces are all made fresh for each order. Highly recommend the Rosa sauce with gnocchi, and seriously probably the best Tiramisu we've ever had. Gotta try this place, our family will definitely be back for more!
A long time favorite. It’s what a small family-run restaurant should be. Consistent quality and friendly atmosphere.
Such a fan of the food here. I’ve been going fairly regularly for the past few years and have enjoyed pretty much every dish I’ve had. The fettuccine Alfredo and the arribiata are my favorites, but their salads are also pretty delicious, mostly because of the awesome dressing that they use. Had take out again tonight and despite Covid, the food is just as good as always. I will definitely continue coming back here for both the food and the friendly service!
This was a great surprise to us. We were driving around looking for a restaurant in the busy are of Newport Beach and eventually got to this place. Everything we tried here was just fantastic, definitely one of my best Italian dishes. You gotta give a try
Had dinner here with my fiance last night for the first time. We had the specials of the evening and both were amazing. Excellent food, excellent customer service. Attention to detail at every point. The way all restaurants should be. A new favorite for us.
Excellent Italian food, generous proportions. The fried calamari was fantastic. Light breading, delicious. We had pesto with tortellini. The pesto was super fresh and the pasta was very tasty. The dinner salads were cold and crisp with a zesty
Italian dressing that was not out of a bottle. Super good. To top this off, we had bruschetta which was also a good choice. And cannelloni and tiramisu which were both very authentic and delicious. All in all, a superb dinner from our closest Italian restaurant on 17th. We shall return!!
My husband & I stopped in, waiting for AAA to arrive. We told the wonderful woman our ordeal & she set us up beautifully... We ordered the calamari, but had to take it w/us. It was heavenly & the service over the top! We felt welcomed & appreciated...we'll definitely be back again to this Italian 'little bit of heaven'...
