We found authentic Italian food in Laguna. We ate here on a Thursday evening.. While our other dishes were yummy, the pork cheek was too salty. The zucchini flowers are a must starter. While good pasta is in it's tasting, these could do with a bit of flair. Service was fair. Parking is limited. The location is unremarkable unless one is interested in the Sawdust events.
Good Italian food made with fresh ingredients. Simple yet tasty dishes good for sharing. I recommend their Parmagiana, Rigatoni Cacio E Pepe, and Chitarra Pomodoro E Burrata. For desserts we tried their Panna Cotta.
Our family decided to go out to enjoy Italian food for Fathers day dinner. We had heard great things about Olivers in Laguna and decided to take the drive out there and find out what all the hub bub was about. Stared ordering a delicious bottle of Brunello. We ordered several appetizers to start and were quite pleased. My brother and I shared the steak & fish main dish. They were both very tasty. The Branzino came out on FIRE and was de-boned right at the table. Very impressed. We all had a great time and were very pleased with the staff and presentation. We would love to revisit and try something new. Gazie!
This is some very solid italian food. Came here while visiting Laguna Beach for a quick weekend coastal get away. We say outside in the tent. We started with the caprese salad with the buffalo mozerella. This is a true Italian style caprese with just fresh cheese, tomatoes and a little bit of olive oil. No basil or balsamic. They did throw in some really delicious fresh made pesto under the cheese though which was VERY good. They accommodated an off menu custom gnocchi gorgonzola request no problem. The gnocchi were light, fluffy and very tasty. I had the vodka pasta with smoked salmon. The house made pasta is perfect. The smoked salmon kind of took over the dish and I wouldn't order it again but I would definitely come back to try some of the other things on the menu. The service was okay but seemed a little distracted at times. The atmosphere out in the tent is, well, it's a tent so there you go. The inside of the restaurant is also pretty plain but you don't come here for that. You come here for the tasty food. They do have a great selection of Italian (and others as well) wines. Recommended!
Intimate spot sandwiched between a brewery and the Sawdust Festival grounds. The truffle menu items were by far the stand out dishes. We had truffle tartare, tagliatelle with truffle cream, and I had the puttanesca- salty, earthy and tomato flavors, vastly different from The creamy truffle pasta. The service was great. We’ll be back
This is by far one of my favorite Italian restaurants by far in Orange County. The ambiance and intimate setting and the service is always amazing. The servers and the chef's are always super accommodating. I frequent here often and every time it is on point and doesn’t disappoint, the best food and service. It’s all authentic and made from scratch. I usually get the Cacio E pepe or some kind of seafood pasta or whatever the chef recommends. It’s perfect for a date night or a large party for a celebration, I’ve done both from 2 people to 14!
Perfect al dente pasta, flavorful food, amazing service! We rolled in a little late and they were still so kind as to seat and serve us. They even went out of their way to keep one of our party members' food warm when she had to leave for a little. The food was all cooked to perfection, I've never had a more perfect bite to the pasta and risotto. Wonderful experience!
We had an absolutely amazing meal here for our anniversary. Our server, Giovanni, was professional and helped us pick some incredible dishes that truly brought us back to Italy!
