Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Laguna Beach

Wonderful evening at Louie’s again! Service is always awesome and food great too. Very cozy festive atmosphere for Christmas Eve. Thank you Team Louie’s!

Mangia Bene is always excellent! Been coming 2x/month at least for thirty years: business meals, family celebrations, meetings with friends, and solo meals. Chris Karas is a wonderful owner, and all the managers are responsive and professional.

The food was fantastic and only second to the service. Our server was amazing. She was on it, had great suggestions, and never let a drink go empty. The food, as always, was 10/10. If you're going around Christmas, get the pantone butter cake...it's worth the calories!

Excellent food and service. Karen was a wonderful server and made the evening that much better.

Food is excellent as always. Truly pizza may truly have the best pizza in OC if not SoCal. Service is great. All the servers are so nice and accommodating. The price point is also fairly decent. Cocktails are good, and the ambience is very cozy.
