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.

    The food was fantastic! We always love the food but this time the service was awful. Our waiter basically ignored us after taking our order and never checked back with us after we were served. He was very attentive to other tables who appeared to be regulars and would pass our table with his back to us. We called out to him for several things, like ground pepper and parmesan but he never delivered. We also had to ask several times for another beer and he finally came to the table when we were just about done to tell us that there were no more beers of the type we had ordered. Very disappointing as we had friends with us who had never been - they loved the food but were very unimpressed with the service.
