Fresh Italian Café in Irvine

I’ve been coming to this place for years, and it hasn’t lost its flavor or authenticity. My friends and I love it. I really enjoy their piadina, and on my latest visit I tried their pizza and loved it too.

5/5 — Exceptional Quality and Execution I was thoroughly impressed by both the quality and presentation of the dishes here. The tomato-based tagliatelle was robust and well-balanced, with just the right touch of acidity and a generous sprinkle of parmesan to round it out. The creamy pesto fettuccine was equally ... outstanding — rich, smooth, and aromatic without being overpowering. Both pastas had excellent texture, clearly freshly made. The toasted bread served alongside added a delightful contrast in texture and made for a perfect accompaniment. Service was efficient and the overall dining experience felt thoughtful and refined. Highly recommend to anyone seeking high-quality, handmade pasta in a relaxed yet polished setting. Read More

OMG! Amazing place and food. Food was delicious and fresh, great service. I visited Italy so many times for work and I felt the same vibes with your food! Loved your focaccia sandwiches and pizza. My daughter loved your fettuccine. The Italian chefs are really friendly.

I went with my aunt (she’s a serious coffee taster and super hard to please hahaha) and she loved it! One of the best Italian coffees she’s had in all of SoCal. I was obsessed too! What a great place — everything was so delicious, and the service was magnificent. I have to come back to try the focaccia and pasta. ... Greetings from Colombia! Read More

Piadina's food is so delicious and the owner was very friendly and helpful! The food looked so good I forgot to take photos before we started eating. I loved how the sandwiches and flatbread were on display and they also make pasta and lasagna as well. Their froccocia was amazing and it was probably the best tuna ... sandwich I've ever had. Thanks so much! I definitely will be back. Thank you. Read More

Great little Italian restaurant. Their food is super fresh and the service is exceptional. I love their chicken vegi soup, but so far everything I tried were delicious. Price is also very decent.

I can't believe it took me so long to try this place. Initially, I noticed these gorgeous women exiting with these flatboxes in hand. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but the staff reassured first-timers buy pointing out popular items (highlighted in yellow on the menu). I went with the California as my initiation ... and it was a safe choice: Roasted Chicken, mozzarella, arugula, tomato, and basil pesto wrapped in a warm flat bread. Quality ingredients, simple yet tasty, and executed quickly. The interior is cool and quaint with about 4-5 tables of 4. Will be back to try their Italian Classics. Read More

We go here very often. We love their family style lasagna - some of the best lasagna that we've had without going to a super expensive, fancy Italian eatery. Also highly recommend their avocado toast, which can be made vegan!
