Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Newport

After a movie, we decided to try the new North Italia at Los Cerritos. We had enjoyed dining at the Irvine location in the past. Our party of four had the opportunity to taste a number of menu items. Everything was very good. We started with the prosciutto pizza as an appetizer for the table. Delicious. My wife and I shared the Caesar salad next; very fresh and tasty. For entrees, she loved the tortelloni Al Pomodoro and I had the pork Milanese. It was very good. Our friends also enjoyed the salmon and bolognese. For dessert, we shared the brookie gelato sundae. It was more than enough for the four of us. We just dumped it all onto a plate and dug in. Our server Allison was amazing. She made excellent recommendations and checked in with us frequently. If you’re in the Cerritos area, try North Italia.

The food and the service are great. Really nice server and he made some great recommendations. Only downside is most of the restaurant is outside so bring a jacket. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The food was really good! I'll definitely be going back! Price was great for the quantity. Service was great, too!

Crabcakes and Bolognese spaghetti wow. 🙌 The vibe and service was just great as usual. Thank you guys.

Great food and service, a really nice vibe. Sat outside on a cool night, but very comfortable with the heaters. Inside looked nice, really prefer the outside which was quieter.
