   It was our first time at VITALY Caffe and we definitely will be returning. The ambiance is casual and varied with 4 different dining area options. It was a lovely day and we truly felt like we were at a piazza in Italy. The servers were the sons of the owners and it was so nice to see a family run business succeed in Orange County. The food was delicious, fresh, and very tasty with nice size portions! Great Cafe Latte with VITALY cookies after our lunch.

   Don't go here if you want authentic Italian food. This shouldn't be called more than an American italian fast food chain! The pasta was terrible to taste and quality. The squid ink linguine was over-boiled without any taste at all and the sauce was super spicy (and the server did not warn us!). The seafood ravioli had just frozen seafood inside them that has plain smell. It felt like someone bought a pack of pasta in Costco for a few $$ and quickly dumped into the boiling water just before serving. Our server did not even bring us water and we waited on them 10 minutes after we were done just to get a check. Only a few seats outside have nice ambience, but all other seats feel like you are in the middle of a busy lobby - not cozy and distracting. Highly recommend not wasting your valuable time and money

   Their home made noodles were phenomenal, both the fettuccine and the gnocchi. Friendliest staff. Made for a really enjoyable Valentine’s Day meal.

   Been here many times for coffees, desserts, and ice cream. We never sat down and dine in. Sadly overall experience was not we all expected. I made a reservation for my annual class of ‘91 reunion. Sadly water came out lukewarm and had to ask for ice. Took him a while to bring it over …I had to walk up to request for it… Two of the ladies ordered lasagna which is their most popular dish and was suggested by our waiter. He told us that they’re sold out. Mind you…it’s a Saturday lunch! I had ordered the Grizzly Salad regular size, it came out as size small. Didn’t check up on us, but we believed the owner did. At that point we were done with our meals and always over it. My feedback to the owner is to train your team, communicate on what’s on and not on the menu. Be professional versus giving opinions of certain dishes. No need to forecast what’s his favorite and what he didn’t like eating for example mushrooms… I will for come back but will not dine in. Hope the owner/manager takes this feedback into consideration and improve. I was hoping to create a memorable and fun ambience which was not the case… Reservation was on Saturday, Dec. 28th at 12noon. Thank you.

   Hi Justine, I am very sorry about your bad experience. We had a serious talk with the team about the happening and will make sure to avoid this from happening again. At the end of the year, we have a huge sales amount of lasagne for catering customers and most probably somebody bought the last ones right before we could remove them from the system when the server sold them to you guys.

   Met a friend for lunch at noon on a Friday. Parking is horrible unless you want to pay for valet parking. We were seated outside and it was windy and cold, and the restaurant did not have adequate outdoor heaters. I ordered a pasta dish, which was tasty, but rendered completely cold by the wind after a couple minutes. Overall not a great experience and not at all inspired to return.

   Hard to find but well worth it. Off Bristol in the CAMP food/retail store center in Costa Mesa. Absolutely delicious food from Pizza to pasta to brunch and chicken soup. Fresh dessert and Gelatos. Great service, good prices but most of all incredible food. Loved it!!!

    Casual setting. Everything you’d want on cafe menu. Family friendly. Heated patio made outside nice on cold be. Food great and service couldn’t have been better except lack of checking on drink refills.
