Il Barone Ristorante - Newport Beach

If this place was in Newport or Costa Mesa it would be fully booked. If you want some awesome Italian food, drive out here and give it a try. A shame it doesn’t get more traffic because it deserves it. The gnocchi and cannoli rivals anywhere in NYC

I hosted my office holiday party here and it was absolutely fantastic. From the planning with Dumetella to the service by Pepe, it was a smooth and flawless experience. One of the best Caesar salads by far, each meal was elegantly presented and delicious. Despite the rainstorm the restaurant ensured that our seating was dry and comfortable. Thank you Bar One for this lovely lunch party.

The meat sauce has not really come together but the overall flavor was great. The beschamel sauce was a bit runny, I prefer out a bit thicker, but then again, the flavor was good. Service was great. The pricing is more than the value in my opinion.

Wonderful vibes and great food. I had left my wallet back in the summer and the staff went out of their way to return it to me. Excited to go back to try more items from their beautiful menu.

We stumbled upon this Italian gem on a short business trip last year and had such a great experience we made it a point to come back again this year while on business . From the moment we are greeted we felt like family. This is a family owned and operated restaurant and to our surprise their team remembered who we were and where we sat when visiting last year! Not only is the food incredible , the customer service and hospitality supersedes all expectations. It’s rare to find restaurants that are able to deliver quality delicious cuisine and craft cocktails while also building relationships with their patrons that leaves lasting appreciated connections! We will always try to visit this Italian family any chance possible. GRAZIE!
