This restaurant is a hidden gem. We come in to CA from CT 1-2 times a year and make this restaurant a definite stop while here.We have even driven up from San Diego county to eat there. The wait staff is so congenial and professional. Food is out of this world! Just love Filomena's!!❤️
Filomena's is one of those hidden gems. The food is just impeccably great. Their simple pasta and sauce dishes are just terrific. My favorite by far is the bowtie sausage and broth. It's simple, but just has amazing flavor. The meatballs and sausage with garlic bread is another top choice. Having fresh pasta with thoughtful sauce is a true delight. Service is great, but the food is the real star.
Maybe the best Italian food we've had outside of Italy. Our server Hector was charming and accommodating. He invited (required) us to taste several wines before deciding on a bottle. Overall great experience and the walk to OC Amphitheater was a breeze. Highly recommend this establishment.
