Salerno by Chef Pirozzi

It's got to be one of the loudest restaurants in Orange County... the brick walls and the small tables make it very intimate and if you're into that type of a atmosphere it is great! I would recommend sitting at the bar... at least you can speak side by side and have a little conversation. But you will want to go here because the food is amazing... everything we tasted was fresh, high-quality, handmade and really delicious. Thinking back on the menu there are at least 12 things that I still have to go back and try. Think more red sauce southern Italian family-style then upscale northern and more refined dining.

An intimate dining room in the centre of the city and just steps from the Pacific Ocean. The fried Calamari was a great starter and I recommend each of the traditional dishes such as their Bolognese or Speghetti and meatballs. The wild boar gnocchi was a favorite, but the short rib pappardelle was a strong cotender. An authentic Mediterranean experience!

Large local Italian restaurant. One of my favorite restaurants in Laguna. This is a small, friendly Italian restaurant reminds of places in Little Italy in NYC. Great food, great service, funny wines. I've been regular for 4 years and I'm always looking forward to my next visit.
