We ordered takeout trays of their unbelievable Eggplant Parmesan and a couple trays of Vegetable Lasagna for a party of 40 ppl. Outstanding food! Our new greatest restaurant in OC!

Very much a neighborhood family run gem. The food was authentic and delicious and very attentive and courteous service. Pricing was good. That wallpaper makes me feel like I’ve come home to my grandma’s kitchen!

Omg ..this place is amazing. Went here for business dinner with my work. This italian restaurant is located in Costa Mesa . I had ordered the linguini saliccia. The food was great and the aroma of herbs blended in with the sausages and sauce out of this world. It came with a side salad the house vinaigrette sauce ( secret). Loved it. The tiramisu was elegant. Soft melted in your mouth. The portion size easily can feed 4 people.

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.

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.

Food is not good, Italians would be ashamed of this. They would sue them for having word Italy in their description. Coming from Europe and knowing what good pasta is this was very much not good. Carbonara has mushrooms and peas?!?! Hope no Italian elders come here cuz they might get heart attack when they get served.

The owner of garduno’s is an extremely annoying person! I had a planned lunch with people at garduno’s. Only to arrive and find out that it closed on tuesdays. How weird is that! They close the restaurant for a whole day each week. I don’t understand why the owner can’t trust someone to run the place on his/her day off! Every other restaurant basically does! This was such an inconvenience that I will never eat at garduno’s again. Get your act together, owner!

Hidden Gem of Newport!
I don’t know why this place doesn’t have a line out the door. It’s a true mom-and-pop restaurant in the best way. All the pasta is made fresh daily (our server said it’s actually made every hour!), and the penne was out of this world.
Inside, it feels like you’re sitting in a Nonna’s kitchen, authentic, old-school vibe, and the staff couldn’t be kinder. Every time I’ve gone, the owners are there in the kitchen, saying hello to guests and keeping everything running.
Prices are great, food is amazing, go there immediately!
