Perfect place for lunch break as midway point of our bike ride along Newport beach. The set lunch menu at $20 was a steal. Food was superb and service impeccable. Would be happy to go back for dinner to try our other items on dinner menu.

Absolutely one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Fresh sea food and delicious Italian food. Add the excellent service, I don't think we could have picked a better place.

Nice little Italian restaurant in Newport beach. The chefs meat and cheese board was pretty good. The mozzarella cheese they used was amazing. I had to ask where they get it from. Its imported directly from Italy. It was one of the best cheeses I've ever had. This started the dinner off really well. For my meal, I ordered the prosciutto wrapped chicken. It was pretty good, but my wife had the prosciutto stuffed tortellini, that was delicious. It came in a creamy white sauce, it had a really good flavour. The tortellini's was good. It all worked really well together. The creamy sauce, the prosciutto in the tortellini's. It was so delicious I almost ate it all. The food is really good, the ambiance was welcoming and romantic, and the service was great. I would recommend this place for date night or for a nice dinner with friends.

We picked this restaurant based on on its reviews, and we were not disappointed. Heather took good care of us, and we thoroughly enjoyed the spaghetti verde and short rib pasta. We'll come here again!!

10 STARS TO THE MINESTRONE SOUP!
& also the bolognese is so good too. I wish I had a photo to share, but unfortunately I ate it all too quickly.

I found out Alessa when I was driving back to LA and wanted some place to eat and pick up the food! I call them and made the order and ate in the car, it was everything so delicious and fresh! We order Gnocchi Alfredo e Pepperoni Pizza, both so so soooo delicious! The breads with the pesto sauce it's delicious. Thank you guys, I will be back again!

Excellent italian seafood. A very pleasant and courteous place with easy parking access off PCH. Sitting inside available right now with some social distancing. Reservation preferred I would say given the place seems to be always busy. Service is quick.

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in OC. Whenever I’m craving Italian food I head over to Cucina Alessa. Great service and the food is always delicious.

Great food, quick service. Visited for dinner around 8, with a party of 4. No wait, seated immediately. Complimentary bread and pesto was just the thing to stave off our hunger until our food arrived. I ordered seafood linguine. The seafood was fresh and cooked well. The chicken parm is enough for 2 people and the fettuccine alfredo is classic. Right across from the beach, you can hear the waves from your table.
