“The food was amazing!!! Simply fantastic. Well done @mommaDa“

“Wonderful family owned place! The most authentic Italian restaurant outside of Italy. At Il Farro food is prepared with attention and real LOVE. Everything from the appetizers to dessert were perfect. Every dish is made with true italian fresh and natural ingredients and is made by traditional recipes. The talented chef M. makes pastas and pizzas daily and they taste amazing. Also the house wine is a good selection. I suggest you to have their own valuable wine. Il Farro has a great management and staff too. We loved interacting with customers and guys who work in, they became like family for us. The qualified employees are friendly helpful and the restaurant is always clean. They do have enough seats and limited outdoor seating, but get a reservation in advance to make sure you have a place.Hands off, this is the best place to gather with friends or family! It has our ❤️s. We loved it.“

“We had a reservation for 13 on Saturday, October 25th at 8:00 PM to celebrate a 60th birthday and had a wonderful evening at Molo. Although we waited about 30 minutes to be seated, the team quickly made it right — the manager graciously sent over some wine, which was a lovely gesture. Once we were settled on the patio, the experience was excellent.

Our server Valentino was outstanding — professional, attentive, and spot-on with his recommendations. The citrus avocado salad and calamari were fresh and delicious, and the Orecchiette and Penne Vodka were flavorful and perfectly cooked. The patio ambiance was warm and inviting, ideal for our celebration.

Overall, Molo delivered a memorable dining experience — great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Highly recommend for any special occasion in Newport Beach!“

“Es buena presentación y rica“

“Quiet place to grab a bite of the most delicious chicken parm sandwich. The cannolis are so good too. Fries are delicious. AND THE GARLIC CHEESE BREAD??! - to die for. Love this restaurant and I'm so glad it's been around for so many years.“

“Highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for a good meal! I ordered the garlic foccacia as well as fettuccine amatriciana. Both of these were fantastic and I almost finished them all myself (portions were very large as well). On top of that, my server, Andy, was extremely nice and friendly. I was dining alone and he made sure to check on me and made me feel very comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you Andy! I’ll definitely be back!“

“Very good food! Particularly liked the prosciutto wrapped scallops on a bed of arugula drizzled with balsamic reduction! 😃“

“For Mother's Day, we had a party of 15 - which the restaurant easily accommodated. Our table was ready on time. The food was good, the scenery was great. The service was, however, lacking. The sun was out, so we asked the waiter if he could help move an umbrella for my 18 month old son and wife (she was on the opposite side of the table from me). He ignored us despite having been asked twice, by my count. The third time he pawned it off on a co-worker, who helped immediately. Finally the checks came - we asked for separate checks, which was no problem. Everyone paid and we were on our way. Later, my wife discovered that she had been charged for the whole table ($400) on top of the separate bill that she already paid. I was charged an additional $80, and my sister was charged an additional $20. My wife had to call the restaurant from work in order to straighten it out. So if you go in a group, be careful of how you're billed. Aside from that, it was a great meal with family. We would go back if there were no further issues.“

“We showed up close to closing and the staff had all went home, the Owner kindly seated us, waited on us, cooked for us and wow did he cook 🔥 Amazing food and the vibes were just as good. I really enjoyed this dinner with my family, will be a happy memory for the books. Chicken Parmesan was our favorite and the ceaser salad was legit. TYSM 5 ⭐️s all day 💣 dot com“

“We always cruise by this place but never tried it cuz of the parking. So last night around 10pm we gave it a whirl as parking wasn’t bad on the street. We are so glad that we tried it cuz this is probably the best pizza we’ve laid our taste buds on out here in the states. We got a large pepperoni pizza that was $26. The two guys at the window that helped us provided great customer service. Just a heads up that there is no tables to chill and grub down at. If you are in the area and are craving pizza, this place won’t disappoint. Cheers“
