10 August 2024Food was very good. Topping it off with a cappuccino would have been great but.... an Italian restaurant that doesn't serve cappuccino?? A little disappointing but not enough to keep us from coming back.

08 August 2024I go here often. This time I ordered calamari & Caesar salad. Calamari breading was light and paired with a marinara sauce. The Caesar salad dressing was tasty. I ordered my favorite pasta, the linguine cacio e pepe (black pepper & pecorino cheese). This linguine is simple and flavorful. I also ordered Pesto Cochiglie Shrimp, Margherita pizza, and the meat lover pizza. The meatballs on the meat lover pizza are really good. Service here is good. Parking is challenging in Laguna Beach, so allow yourself enough time to find parking especially during the summer.

08 August 2024I've been a regular at Alessa by Chef Pirozzi, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently amazing, especially the Mamma Mia's meatballs and the pizza. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home every visit. The cozy yet elegant atmosphere is perfect for any occasion. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!

08 August 2024While on vacay we found this gem on Forest Ave that seems to be the main street in this community, a beautiful Italian place with delicious homemade pasta, we tried the wild mushrooms raviolis, sweet raviolis, their special Limoncello pasta and every dish was very tasty. Our server was so kind and helpful when we asked many questions about the menu. One of our favs during this short vacay. we will be back definitely.
