Been on a pizza discovery lately in the CM area.
This pizza is DELICIOUS!
Personal pizza size.
Medium chewy crust. (Worth eating!)
Thin slices with quality toppings.
Wood fired.
Overall delicious.
Brought home the margherita and it disappeared instantly!
Service is friendly.
Family owned is bonus.
Not inexpensive but we were not disappointed.
Will be back!

Small(er) intimate restaurant with tables for 2-4 usually. I started visiting in 2024 and was WOWED by the Caesar salad dressing which is home made. Really top of the world. (it better be the Salad is $15 per serving!) Normally the place is just the place for a romantic tete-a-tete and there is usually plenty of seating available. Howver, having said that, the last time we went there was only one table open and there was an office group, of at least 15, having a winter break celebration. I watched the service and if you want that kind of party, they were serving repeated platters of very yummy food. Last time we went we had individual Caesar salads, and split a pizza, followed by a dessert. Great Chianti. I believe the bill was about $70 for the two of us, only one Chianti. I question the parking because the lot next to and behind seems somewhat limited to me, however, there is a small strip mall next to it on Harbor that is empty at night. The Italian pasta and the Pizza is very good, the crust is much more like an Italian crust than New York or sourdough. This restaurant may be a little more pricey than some others, but the quality of the cuisine makes it worth the difference, in my opinion. With prices what they are today, you would probably be spending more at a larger restaurant (I won’t name names). Oh, they do a lively take out business, I was seeing many people coming in and picking up their orders. We took too long to discover this little gem and will be returning again soon. I am craving it writing this, particularly the Chianti, the other time I had that brand was in Milan.

I absolutely loved this place! They make you feel like you are at home. I called to see if I needed a reservation, the lady who answered was super sweet, she said to come in, no problem (it was about 90 min before closing on a Friday night, I didn’t want to be one of “those people”) I am just so in love with this place, everyone was so friendly and helpful (recommended my dinner) and omg the FOOD WAS AMAZING! I cannot even tell you my favorite but I can tell you I only have partial pictures because I HAD to eat it as it came
I found a new second home, this place will be a regular place of mine from now on, what a happy find!

Absolutely top shelf food, drinks and service. Family run with an absolute commitment to the very best. Make reservations and ask about the apple tart with vanilla ice cream right when you sit down, as it tends to run out.

I love this place!!! ❤️ ❤️
The family that run this restaurant are so warm, friendly and hard working – and the FOOD is delicious.
Now for my food…this is the ABSOLUTE BEST Gluten feee pizza crust -Ever! I have tried hundreds of different kinds of gluten free pizzas and nothing has ever come close.
Ends up the gluten free crust is so special because the momma makes the dough fresh for each pizza and mixes in the kitchen-aid to add air so it bubbles up and makes a beautiful crust that is as good or actually better than regular crust.
Just love this place. Love the family. Love the food! ✨
The pics I took are of the gluten free pizza! No cracker pizzas here!

Dined at the bar. Excellent customer service by Andre. Very friendly and super attentive. The food was delicious. Authentic dishes so they were not overloaded with sodium, oil or sauces. Ate the pasta dishes so fast I forgot to take pictures but I will definitely be back and upload some more later.

07-06-2024 Here last evening for Dinner .
Small Italian Restaurant I have to say that is super good the taste is pretty authentic, I had a Minestrone soup and was really tasty was good , spaghetti with seafood very good little bit small and not so much seafood , cioppino good portion good quality and the bread inside was awesome perfect….
What they have to improve I think is the service, they could be better organize this was my impression and is just a suggestion to improve ,
Personally I’ve receive a sufficient service and they also offer me a Glass of wine !!
For this reason I can’t give less then 5 stars .
I’ve seen the pizza and looks like awesome

Good authentic Italian food, but it didn’t wow me. The pasta Bolognese was just ok, with a slight off taste. The Fungi pizza was just ok and a bit dry. The empanadas were surprisingly good. The chicken empanada is better than the beef. The gnocchi is excellent.

Hands down best italian food in Costa Mesa! Family own restaurant that offers the finest ingredients that comes out as an absolutely heavenly food! Owner Fernanda graciously suggest the apple tart that I can’t even describe how good it was. 100% recommended

Il Dolce in Costa Mesa earns praise for its authentic, artisanal Italian fare in a relaxed yet refined setting. The pizzas—wood-fired standout, and the full menu offers something for every palate. Friendly service both Miguel and Juan provided my family with great service. A charming atmosphere make it feel both elevated and familiar. If you’re near Huntington Beach or visiting OC, it’s definitely worth a visit for a comforting, quality Italian dinner.
