Quality, authentic, delicious Italian food in Laguna Beach! The best Italian in town, and that's coming from a New Yorker. 5 Stars, great service as well! Just ask for Mossimo
We shared several dishes. The Veal Limone melts in your mouth! The Sole and the ribeye were also amazing. You have to try the cheesecake. The service was top notch. We’re looking forward to going back!
I went to visit Ti Amo with some friends, after several years that I haven’t been to Ti Amo, the food and service from Massimo was excellent, my friends were really happy they want to go back in December, the only thing I really missed was the decorations of the old Ti Amo, it gave that feeling like if you were in some little Italian place, this time it was really plane and I was braving with my friends how cute it was decorated and when we got there it was totally different, I hope for Christmas is decorated, the food was delicious thou and we were all happy. Please put some candles and candelabras and flowers again, like it used to be, the place has a lot of potential to be decorated it.. thank you
I used to go in 1994 and it has changed, definitely. The people that wrote the bad reviews .. what can I say? Shame on them. The probably eat out only on Valentines Day and Mother's Day. The only reason I like the bad reviews is that I wish I could have the place to myself and that people would be dissuaded from going there .. this is the best Italian restaurant from Newport Beach to San Clemente. Authentic and the owner really cares to serve that authenticity. Very intimate as well. Its a different experience from your typical chain restaurant that the complainers frequent. Theres an excellent dough bread served almost as you're seated. Its a romantic and intimate place to have dinner with your soul mate.
It isn't a small restaurant, but the layout makes it feel like a quaint little place. Very cozy and romantic. Run by my favorite folks at Il Barone. The food is exceptional no matter what you order. My wife had Spaghetti with Ragu tonight. Very simple dish, but with both the pasta and the sauce were home made from scratch, it was pure heaven. My son had an interesting description of his ribeye streak. "How is it done so perfectly, when it is so thick? (2+") Gorgonzola on top is the perfect amount so you have the aroma but not too much so you can fully taste the steak."
But even more impressive then the food is the exceptional service. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. I genuinely felt like they were giving me special treatment, but of course this is their norm.
The best canneloni I’ve ever had! The others in our group all had the sole and rated it a 10, but all agreed (I gave them a taste) that my canneloni was a 20. The cocktails were also superb. However, the $$ rating is a little misleading; though the prices were more like $$$$, it was well worth it!
Mossimo was amazing! Loved cozy atmosphere and delicious food but Mossimo made our experience extra special. We had our 2yr old with us and he was so kind, patient, welcoming and accommodating. He made us feel like we had been going there for years and known him even longer. We will absolutely be going back and often!
This place literally took me back and made me feel like I was in Italy. From the peek a boo water view at the table, to the Italian waiter and the most important part, the food & wine. We have the calamari, seabass and beet salad. It was SO good. I would recommend if you want good authentic Italian.
Great wine selection and specials. Go early get the window. Fantastic service, they fixed the zipper to my jacket. Wonderful lemonchello home made- liquor desert.
This place was amazing the staff was very attentive, helpful, the food was heavenly, the dessert it was out if this world. Delicious. Definitely will return, a very clean, elegant, peaceful place. The food was just heavenly
