Established in 1993, Il Farro Caffe Trattoria sits in the heart of Newport Beach, California, on the Peninsula right by the Newport Pier. Serving authentic Italian cuisine, the restaurant has received rave reviews from both local and nationwide culinary literates of being "one of the best rustic Italian style restaurants that evokes images of summertime at the Italian seaside."
“So delicious! My family dined here today and the food was delightful and the entire restaurant staff we encountered was soo kind and sweet. We had the farro feta salad, pesto pasta with shrimp, angel hair with salmon, and BBQ pizza. My 4-year-old nephew also had a big cheese pizza and ate the whole thing! Will definitely come back.”
“If I could give it 10 stars I would! The place is so clean and staff is extremely friendly. Fernando is so great he made a great suggestion on the dish I should try and OMG the plate was so good cant wait to be back!!!”
“Went there with our family! It was an experience! From being seated to served! We had an amazing server and she assisted with direction with navigating our food choices. Very helpful! Strongly recommend if you are looking for some home made Italian go and try this out! The ambiance is so cute located right by the sand!”
“I wanted to take my mom someplace special for Valentine's Day because it's just us. After searching I came upon this restaurant and after reading all the wonderful reviews I knew this was the place!! We were early for our reservation (didn't know how long it would take to find parking) and we were warmly greeted at the door by Rose. She immediately said of course we could come in early and she went out of her way to make my mom, who uses a walker, feel right at home and to let her know if she needed anything. The food on their special VD dinner menu had great variety to choose from. My mom selected the Lobster Ravioli and I chose the Pollo alla Florentina. Both dishes were excellent & plentiful!! My dish had asparagus & mashed potatoes to complete it. BUT let me tell you about the Chocolate Mousse for dessert. O.M.G. It was divine!!!! Not to sweet not to bitter, just an overall smooth and incredibly rich chocolate flavor. We could not have been more pleased with our dinner & first experience there. Coralee was the perfect server/bartender, keeping the food & drinks flowing, especially as the restaurant was really starting to fill up by time we left. We will definitely go back!! Highly recommend.”
“We appreciate the hospitality here, it was very attentive 🙏 the ambiance was beautiful and the wine pictured was delicious 😋 We had the special lamb ravioli which was delicious 🤤 the sauce was perfect and lamb could’ve been a little more moist but flavor was 💯 . The best appetizer was the one we took home to eat later which was the homemade meatballs!! These were perfect, even had some the next day cold on their homemade bread with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette 💋 we’d definitely dine again! Side note: we had the muscle and clam appetizer which could’ve had a better sauce and there was sand or something in it that actually chipped my tooth which gave it a four star instead of five… I wanted to give a three for that but the rest of everything was so freaking delicious.. I just couldn’t do it ☺️”
