CUCINA enoteca Newport Beach 951 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660

"This restaurant was so charming! The food was excellent, I had the Bucatini Amatriciana with GF pasta & it was delicious. The decor was beautiful but what really stood out to me was how all of the Staff were all so friendly and welcoming, from the host to my server to those who cleared my dish away. The service was phenomenal!"

"Good spot for a family Sunday lunch. Beautiful place to eat , very nice decor that feels upscale. Food is solid. I would stick with pizza over pasta. And for entry, I recommend fish. They have a good selection of pizza and all are good. Specially in a city where a good pizza is hard to find. Wine selection is large and cocktails are top notch."

"Feeling like pasta and pizza? This place will satisfy your cravings. Went with a couple of friends on Saturday and by 6:30 the place had filled up. Our group had the chicken Milanese, mushroom ravioli, branzino, meatball appetizers, octopus, focaccia and various drinks. All the food was delicious. Been to the location in Irvine Spectrum too and had pizza and short rib pasta there. The decor inside is nice with a bar stretching the width of the dining room. The patio is good, but we were seated there on a cold rainy night. They have heaters and curtains but the wind still blew through the cracks between curtains. The patio is dimly lit compared to the main dining room and for the romantics on a date…perfect. Price wise it’s about $25 a plate for a main."

"Excellent and attentive service from the staff. The decor is nice and airy with tall ceilings, with an outdoor seating area. The tables are spaced so it did not feel crowded. Had the cheese and salumi platter, clam with squid ink linguine, bucatini amatriciana, rigatoni Bolognese, tiramisu and chocolate budino. Good memories created."

"Unique, eclectic decor and interesting food to go with it. Burnt Brussels Sprouts were delicious as were the Fried Squash Blossoms. The Burrata was also very good. I would skip the Pasta Bolognese next time. We sat inside but it was still cool as they keep the doors to the patio open. Our server was friendly and efficient and brought me a delicious birthday dessert!"
