Foretti’s CDM established itself as a highlight of the Newport Beach dining scene when it opened in 2013. Operating under the new ownership of longtime Restaurateur and Level 1 Sommelier Thaddeus Foret, we continue to prepare our signature recipes, created by the restaurant’s namesake chef and his culinary team—many of whom remain in our kitchen today.

Foretti’s is a celebration of Italian traditions, specializing in authentic Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana-certified wood-fired pizzas baked in a 900 degree oven with the same techniques and ingredients used in Naples, Italy.

We also feature house made pastas and favorite dishes from across Italy, expertly paired with craft cocktails and a curated selection of Italian and California Wines; several from Orange County wine owners.

Thad Foret brings more than 30 years of experience in hospitality to Corona del Mar, and has been a standard bearer for restaurant operations in the region.

    We had an excellent meal, loved the lamb chops, the three fish special, and the short rib pasta and it was a perfect amount of food to share for 4 people. Oh and we had the beet salad and beef carpaccio appetizer which was a delicious way to start our meal. The service was superb, ambiance cozy and it was exactly what we needed in this busy time of year. Perfection!

    Great neighborhood restaurant! We live in the desert and love to come to Foretti’s when we are in Newport. Their food and service is great- a ton of choices from salads, chicken or veal, homemade pasta, seafood. We shared a Ceaser salad, my husband had the seafood risotto and I had the short rib pasta which was very flavorful! When we got there I mentioned I was looking forward to an espresso martini for dessert remembering how good it was the last time I was there and our server said they were out of vanilla vodka but he would see what they could do- sure enough, someone went to the store and bought a bottle so he could make my drink- now that is amazing service!!! It was just as delicious as I remembered it!

    Small cute Italian place decorated beautifully. Only complaint was we were seated in a busy thuroughfare and there was a large party waiting with gifts right in our space as servers trying to get through. Once they were seated it calmed down and was nice!

    Foretti’s was the right choice to celebrate my son and mother’s birthday. The ambiance was festive and the food was healthy and delicious. Our waiter was wonderful and very attentive even though it was very busy and their prices were reasonable.
