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.

    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.

    We went for the first time since moving here last year and are kicking ourselves we haven’t gone sooner! We loved the feel in the restaurant. The service and staff were so friendly & knowledgeable. The food was excellent! Ordered a pizza, meatballs, lasagna and a wonderful red wine. Prices were reasonable. Would totally encourage anyone to go if you haven’t been yet!

    Waiter was very grumpy and despite acknowledging food allergies of my son, food was brought out containing his allergens. He was already eating the salad when I found pieces of cheese (dairy allergy) in it! No apologies and no credit for the salad. It was also my birthday and they basically just dumped the dessert on the table saying it was free of charge but without so much as a happy bday. Won’t come back.

    Always a wonderful experience. Perhaps that is why Foretti's has earned an Open Table rating of 4.9 -- wow! We receive exceptional service and friendly greetings from the hostess, owner Thad Foret, and servers Monica and Roberto. I was delighted that they made me an excellent spaghetti carbonara, which is not on the menu. My wife loves their meatballs.
