Trattoria Italiano - Newport Beach

Fantastic food and exceptional service! A real hidden gem on Balboa Island, right in the middle of everything but easy to miss. Will definitely return!

We visit Newport Beach every year, and have just found a hidden gem in Newport Beach. We are from Rochester NY which has several great Italian restaurants, but I can honestly say I just dined on the best lasagnia I've ever had. The owner is delightful, and the atmosphere is very European and quaint. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Small and intimate Italian restaurant on Marine Avenue in the super cute Balboa Island. Lots of good pasta and other choices at reasonable prices, especially for high priced Newport Beach area.Pasta dishes were prepared just right and very tasty. I’d surely return on next visit to Balboa Island.

We had a lovely, quiet and exceptional meal last night. We were walking around the Island when I noticed that this restaurant was open. We popped in and received calm and professional service. The lasagna was amazing! This is a lasagna which has many, many thin layers. It was so light and the perfect sized serving. The veal piccata was perfection. I asked if pasta was included and I was told that it was served with mashed potatoes. But just as quickly I was informed that they would be happy to make me some pasta. They pour a good sized glass of wine also! Can't wait to go back! Thank you for making my week!

We were walking in Balboa Island where we came across this place! Small but very friendly environment that hook us in to try out ? It was late but it was too good to pass, so we decided to get small dinner ?We ordered Lasagna and Veal Cannelloni and both were AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS ?? service was great and it felt we were regular and treated as such!I will definitely go back to try out their Fettuccine Alfredo and their amazing looking deserts!
